Background on the trial, from TINAF Background on the Aryan Nations, from TINAF Index to FTP Supplements on the Current German Situation What's Worth Checking: 20 stories -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're now back on our regular production schedule after the unfortunate incident with the state in early May. Since 10 June we've published 39 issues or more than one every two days. We'd like to thank all of you who wrote with kind letters of support. But while we're on schedule there are still almost two hundred stories to which we haven't published pointers. Rather than skip these and mess up our archives we intend to publish a few special issues in the next several weeks. Remember that the journal's editorial policy is publishing material *of interest* to anti-fascists. Few subscribers read every story in "What's Worth Checking." Most read through the descriptions and then go to the web/ftp site only for those stories covering their particular interests. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFORMATION ON THE CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THE ARYAN NATIONS via <http://www.christian-aryannations.com/> THE BARBARIANS ARE AT THE GATE!! Trial begins 8-28-2000, with 3 law firms, up to 9 Lawyers. Morris the Sleaze with his Jew Faggots swear they will destroy the Church of Jesus Christ Christian/Aryan Nations! WHY? They wish to give every white man and woman a lesson in "TOLERANCE" Marxist style, a la good ole "Uncle Joe Stalin." The first Amendment (by White men for White men) is being phased out for the "New World Order!" THE REASON? RACE TREASON! - - - - - Legal Defense Fund Greetings White Kindred, The Church of Jesus Christ Christian-Aryan Nations is currently in a lawsuit brought on by the Human Rights Task Force who has engaged in a "marriage" with the Southern Poverty Law Center and Morris Dees. We have secured an excellent lawyer for our defense. With this legal counsel we will win a victory over the Human Rights Task Force and the SPLC for not just Aryan Nations, but the entire White race. Morris Dees and his lawyers can be beat, but lawyer fees are expensive. The Church of Jesus Christ Christian-Aryan Nations is making a call to ALL White people for help with our Legal Defense Fund, because it could be your organization that could be next on Morris Dees' "reign of terror". The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Human Rights Task Force must be stopped! - - - - - Aryan Brothers and Sisters Can You Spare A Buck? Aryan Nations needs your help to educate the WHITE RACE as to who they really are. The legal fight against the Jew Proselyte Morris "The Sleaze" Dees has been a tremendous drain on our financial reserves. So we really need your help!!! One dollar to as much as you wish to donate will be greatly appreciated and put to a good use. We go to trial Aug. 28th, 2000. The trial could last from 1 week to 5 weeks depending if Dees brings in Christian Identity - in which case we have the Jewish Talmud ( all 63 volumes ) to present to the court. Please send your generous donation to: CJCC-AN Operations Fund PO Box 362 Hayden, Idaho 83835 Thank you. Pastor Richard G.

Activists long have suspected that law enforcement agents scrutinize their press statements and monitor their online discussion groups for information about upcoming marches and demonstrations. Protest organizers said the cat-and-mouse game took a new turn last week when two men appeared on the roof of the downtown Pennsylvania Convention Center and began photographing members of a coalition called the R2K Network as they arrived across the street for a weekly organizing session." <1641.txt> People for the American Way, "Supreme Court Sows Confusion With Church/State Ruling," 28 Jun 00, ""In response to the Supreme Court's ruling today allowing a Louisiana school district to use public funds to purchase computers and other 'instructional equipment' for private and religious schools, People For the American Way Foundation made the following statement: 'The Court's ruling only further blurs the church/state line, adding to the confusion already experienced by school districts and taxpayers," said Ralph G. Neas, president of People For the American Way Foundation. "This ruling increases the risk that citizens will be forced to subsidize a school's religious mission, violating the First Amendment's prohibition against government establishment of religion'." <1642.txt> People for the American Way, "Supreme Court Allows Boy Scouts to Hide Discrimination Behind First Amendment: Close Ruling Raises Troubling Questions About Future of Civil Rights Laws." 28 Jun 00, "The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled 5-4 that the Boy Scouts of America can discriminate against gay men and boys by prohibiting them from becoming or remaining members. People For the American Way Foundation filed an amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court in this case on behalf of James Dale, who was expelled from the Boy Scouts because he is gay." <1643.txt> Kirsten Scharnberg (Chicago Tribune), "Study Shows Hate Group Grows After Rampage," 30 Jun 00, "Days before the first anniversary of Benjamin Smith's shooting spree through Chicago, Downstate Illinois and Indiana, a local organization that monitors hate crimes says the white supremacist group Smith belonged to is growing. Calling the East Peoria-based World Church of the Creator, a 'magnet for young, volatile white supremacists,' the non- profit Center for New Community cited statistics that the World Church has expanded from 41 to 76 chapters nationwide. The group is also recruiting violent criminals in Illinois prisons and has created a niche for young women by forming racist offshoot groups called The Sisterhood and Women's Frontier, according to the report." <1644.txt> AI (Press release), "Amnesty International demands equal rights and dignity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people," 2 Jul 00, "Lesbians, gay, bisexual and transgenderd people around the world are still often not recognized as "equal in dignity and rights" and continue facing repression and harassment, Amnesty International said today. The organization's Italian Section and LGBT Network are organizing an "International LGBT Human Rights Rally and Press Conference" to be held in Rome on 2 July on the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people. In countries as diverse as Argentina and Malaysia, Brazil and Romania, Austria and Venezuela, Australia and Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe, and many more, people are persecuted, discriminated against, arrested, tortured and even killed for their sexual orientation." <1645.txt> AP, "CLU Sues Over Convention Access," 30 Jun 00, "A coalition of activists bent on capturing the attention of Democratic National Convention delegates sued the city and police department on Friday for greater access to the August event site. Authorities plan to have a buffer zone around the Staples Center and the Los Angeles Convention Center and set up demonstration areas with a stage and sound system on the opposite side of the centers' giant parking lots. The plaintiffs claim there is no way delegates would ever see or hear protesters from that location. Daniel P. Tokaji, of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, said that violates the protesters' free speech rights." <1646.txt> Christina Leonard and Antonio L. Sharp (The Arizona Republic), "Weekend shootings may be race-related: They drove through the alleys of west Phoenix neighborhoods, selecting targets: a woman holding her 8-month-old boy, a man playing dominoes while barbecuing.," 30 Jun 00, "The men in the car didn't say a word. They let a 12-gauge shotgun do the talking - violence, police say, that may have been race-based. Two people were wounded in Sunday afternoon's two-hour shooting spree. Five of the seven families targeted were ethnic minorities. The attackers are described as White." <1647.txt> Frank Main (Chicago Tribune), "Victims of Smith sue gun industry," 30 Jun 00, "Almost a year after the hate-motivated shootings that left two dead and several others wounded in Illinois and Indiana, a lawsuit was filed Thursday on behalf of the victims. The suit names a gun shop, two gunmakers and a gun trafficker." <1648.txt> Dave Silver, "Feeding Illusions: Liberalism, Anti-Communism, and the Democratic Party," Jul 00, "Liberals have historically always felt more comfortable with the Right than the Left. This follows logically from the fact that they regard capitalist bourgeois democracy as the system that can best meet the needs of the vast majority of people. They mechanically adopt the principle of organizing only within the framework of the system and therefore feel that energy should be put into the Democratic Party because 'that's where the masses are.' The Democratic Party is not a mass organization and masses are not 'in' the Party. The masses are given a choice of two evils, and vote for what they believe to be the lesser evil since they have no alternative available. Thus Liberalism, as it rejects a radical class perspective, at the same time finds a new and comfortable "center" where they buy into racist notions such as I'm for affirmative action but against 'quotas' or that we should credit Rudy Mussolini with bringing crime down." <1649.txt> Bill Fletcher, Jr. (Black Radical Congress) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Police Terror and Economic Injustice: In South Carolina, the Fight's about more than the Flag," 4 Jul 00, "At the Memorial Day national convention of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, a story emerged about an appalling incident in South Carolina. No, this was not about the Confederate flag, though it did concern efforts to halt progress. And, interestingly enough, as important as is this incident, it has gotten precious little coverage, particularly when compared to coverage which has gone to the struggle around the Confederate battle flag. The Charleston, South Carolina local of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) -- Local 1422 -- a largely Black local of dockworkers, mounted a protest against an employer who took the position that, in the words of Local 1422 President Kenneth Riley, '...We are done with the ILA, we are going with an alternative workforce.' Put more bluntly, the employer -- Nordana -- was going to bring in non-union workers in order to break the back of the worker's organization." <1650.txt> Korean Federation of Trade Unions, "Thousand Workers One Day, Another Thousand Workers the Next Day: Police Detention Centres Overflowing with Workers," 2 Jul 00, "4 o'clock in the morning, more than 3,000 special troopers of the police stormed the Lotte Hotel, downtown Seoul, to drag out some 1,000 striking workers. The Lotte Hotel Workers Union has been on strike since June 9 demanding 17% wage increase, change in employment status of temporary workers to permanent employees, 40 hour working week, and extension of retirement age. The Lotte Hotel took the spot light of the world media when it was used as the main press centre for the south-north Korea Summit between President Kim Dae Jung and Chairperson Kim Jong Il. The striking union cooperated with the management by suspending the sit- in strike at the Hotel and deploying staff to the press centre during the period of visit to north Korea by President Kim Dae Jung." <1651.txt> Helen Shooter (Socialist Worker), "58 dead isn't newsworthy," 1 Jul 00, "The bitter chant '58 dead - nothing said' rang out from the 7,000-strong march in London last Saturday in defence of refugees. It captures perfectly the callous attitude of virtually all the press towards the 58 young Chinese people who were found dead in Dover on Monday of last week. This tragedy is the most significant since the Hillsborough football disaster in April 1989 that saw 97 fans killed. Yet the Mirror chose England being turfed out of Euro 2000 as its front page story the day after the Dover tragedy. The Sun managed to put the Chinese deaths on the front page of late editions of its Monday issue. But by Tuesday the front page was about boxer Frank Bruno's divorce. The Independent summed up the media reporting: 'It did not attract quite the same kind of revulsion that might have occurred had 58 dead dolphins or 58 Dalmation puppies turned up in the back of the truck'." <1652.txt> South African Communist Party (press release), "ACP Outraged at the Killing of Comrade Bheki Mkhize," 31 Jul 00, " The South African Communist Party (SACP) is outraged at what appears to be a deliberate assassination of ANC MP, Comrade Bheki Mkhize. According to information we have, Comrade Mkhize was shot during a supposed police investigation and search at his Nongoma home yesterday morning. The SACP views the blatant and clod-blooded killing of Comrade Mkhize (a democratically elected public representative) as a deliberate provocation of our people, government and democracy. This killing is a strong indication that within the SA Police Services there continues to exist elements committed to destabilise our democracy and particularly the KwaZulu Natal province." <1653.txt> Jim Davenport (AP), "Confederate flag removed from South Carolina Statehouse," 1 Jul 00, "After decades of debate and mounting pressure from an NAACP boycott, South Carolina finally removed the Confederate flag from atop its Statehouse on Saturday in somber ceremony that paid tribute to its Civil War roots. The flag, seen as a reminder of slavery for some and a tribute to Southern heritage for others, flew atop the Statehouse dome for 38 years. But protests over the flag continued even as it was being lowered Saturday as Civil War re-enactors raised another Confederate flag on Statehouse grounds, in front of Confederate soldier's monument." <1654.txt> Tim Reid (The Times [of London]), "ictims' roar of relief met by a smirk," 1 Jul 00, "It WAS only a flicker, and passed in a moment, but as the dark- suited jury foreman declared him a murderer, and an extraordinary roar erupted from the massed ranks of his victims squeezed on to the benches behind him, David Copeland smirked. The faded Edwardian grace of the Old Bailey's Number One court, with its panelling of Austrian oak and domed, baroque ceiling, has seen many terrible men brought to trial. But surely, not once in its 93 years, can the court have been filled by such a collection of maimed and crippled bodies, and such a sudden explosion of noise and emotion. At 3.20pm, exactly 24 hours after the jury had been sent away to decide David Copeland's fate, word came that they had reached a verdict.More than 90 survivors of his three nail-bombs filed slowly into court; some hobbling on crutches, others shielding their damaged eyes behind dark glasses, and several with missing fingers. The procession took a full ten minutes." <1655.txt> Duncan Campbell and Paul Lashmar (The Independent), "The new Cold War: How America spies on brits for its oldest friend -- the Dollar; Documents shed light on US policy of covert surveillance of British and European industry," 2 Jul 00, "It is the new Cold War. The United States intelligence agencies, facing downsizing after the fall of the Berlin wall, have found themselves a new role spying on foreign firms to help American business in global markets. Documents obtained by the Independent on Sunday reveal how the CIA and National Security Agency (NSA) -- propelled by the newly-elected Clinton administration's policy of "aggressive advocacy" to support American firms compete for overseas contracts -- have immersed themselves in the new hot trade war. Targets have included UK and European firms. At stake are contracts worth billions of dollars. For America's spies an important tool has been the global eavesdropping system known by the code name Echelon, which has come to invoke the tag of the Big Brother of the cyberspace age." <1656.txt> AP, "Police Shut Brazil Soccer Fan Club," 4 Jul 00, "The fan club of a prominent soccer team was shut by police after its leader was arrested and charged with brandishing Nazi symbols." <1657.txt> Phillip Pina , "Police investigate census incident: Officers' use of ID in case questioned," 2 Jul 00, "Under heavy criticism by U.S. Census Bureau officials, St. Paul police will conduct an internal investigation into the actions of two officers who posed as census takers during an undercover drug operation. This week, officials with the local Census Bureau office blasted the officers' actions, saying it jeopardized the credibility of census takers. By Friday, St. Paul Police Chief William Finney had ordered an internal investigation into the matter, department spokesman Michael Jordan said. A review by the civilian review board will also be done, he added. The department has refused to name the officers involved in the operation in June." <1658.txt> AFP, "The air has ears: Echelon feeds US intelligence on Europe," 5 Jul 00, "The American electronic surveillance system Echelon, currently under investigation by French prosecutors, is widely suspected of being deployed around the world, and particularly in Europe, as an instrument of economic espionage. The European parliament voted Wednesday to set up an ad hoc committee to examine the issues raised by Echelon, but moves to set up a full committee of inquiry foundered on mainly British opposition. Based at Fort Meade, Maryland, the network gathers information from listening posts stationed in the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with additional input from around 120 US satellites in geostationary orbit. France has been angered at the loss of huge foreign contracts due to what it believes is eavesdropping by the US National Security Agency (NSA) which it says operates the Echelon system to spy on Europe's industrial secrets through 24-hour electronic surveillance." <1659.txt> Nicholas Watt (The Times [of London]), "May 2K: special report," 6 Jul 00, "Green-fingered protesters, who dug up Parliament Square on May Day, have had the last laugh after a crop of marijuana plants was discovered in the shadow of Winston Churchill's statute." <1660.txt> * * * * * In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. __________________________________________________________________________ FASCISM: We have no ethical right to forgive, no historical right to forget.
