In case you haven't checked some of these sickening lists, you definitely need to. Most ostensibly operate as meeting places for degenerates who want interracial sex. Typically, its Black men looking for White women, but there's also the reverse too. Also a few are devoted to White men and Black women. Either way, its disgusting and should be an affront to every decent White person. I'd like to ask anyone who's think thinks they might be interested in disrupting a few of these lists to go look through them and report which one's you think make the best targets. Just go to the ONEList website and enter some keywords into the site search engine. That will turn up dozens of related lists, some of which are dead or only have sporadic postings. Don't take any action yet, since we need to coordinate our operation for maximum effectiveness. I advise everyone to go set-up a Hotmail or Netscape email address for use in this operation. For those who don't already know, our tenative activity will involve setting up phony sex dates with these racemixers. But before we do that, we need to select a mailing list and get a feel for its operation. Then we can devide a more specific strategy. -- For White Unity, ipm - - - - - IPM'S TACTICS: INSIGHT INTO THE MURDER OF ANTI-RACIST ACTIVISTS IPM's tactic of "setting up phony sex dates with these racemixers" throws enormous light on the murders of Las Vegas anti-fascists Daniel Shersty (Black) and Lin "Spit" Newborn (white). Regular TINAF readers know of this event; there's a list of references below for new subscribers. Anti-Racist Action (ARA) believes that two women made dates with both of them the night they were murdered. This came after racist skinheads were organizing in the Las Vegas area and had been confronted many times, particularly by Newborn. But we also have reports that other anti-fascists speculated that the murders were the result of a drug-deal turned bad. These suppositions create difficulties for the creation of a broad, pluralistic, coalition against hate-based action. They first introduce a sectarianism, as if any drug user is not moral enough to fight against the next Holocaust. We would all be dead if successful anti-fascist work required everyone in the coalition to agree with everyone else. In reality we are divided by differences -- some deep and some not -- that so many of us have invested with tremendous emotional impact. Anti-fascists can argue endlessly about, e.g., the decisions of the Second World Zionist Congress or wearing leather. Even readers will have their own differences about whether my reference to the Congress or leather was the buffoonish one. One central principle around anti-fascist organizing is that "an injury to one is an injury to all." This is vital to the anti-narcissistic pro-tolerance philosophy that must guide our actions. This principle occasionally creates anxiety for some who would rather not defend other victims of fascist violence. Unfortunately, the presentation of unconfirmed hypotheses of the victim's wrongdoing contributes to a breach in our unified defense and creates a slippery slope where one can always find reasons to withhold defense. Is the Black man hanging from the tree really a victim of a KKK lynching or is the whole thing the result of a rape gone bad? Not surprisingly, the latter interpretation has always been one the Klan put forward. Was the attack on the Jewish couple really the work of anti-Semites or that of indignant tenants against a slumlord? One need not be very creative to imagine what the fascists would maintain. Certainly the IPM document does not in itself prove that Shersty and Newborn were set up for assassination by fascist skinheads. But it does confirm -- as ARA has long maintained -- that "phony sexdates" with anti-fascist activists are part of today's fascist tactics. This alone should spur the Las Vegas Police to deepen their investigation into the murders. And, in an abstractly ideal world of equal justice, it would. It should also lead those who came up with alternate hypotheses to check both their data and their motivation. - - - - - Anti-Racist Action / Ann Arbor, "WARNING: Police Crackdown on Anti-Klan Protesters," 15 Jul 98 <ftp://ftp.nyct.net/pub/users/tallpaul/publish/story2/story348.txt> Joe Schoenmann (Las Vegas Review-Journal), "Anti-Racist Skinheads Killed," 7 Jul 98, TINAF, 8 Jul 98 -- 2:38 (#133) Joe Schoenmann (Las Vegas Review-Journal), "Skinhead slayings expose hatred: Documentation of racist groups in LV is scant, but some residents say hate crimes are a growing threat," 9 Jul 98 <ftp://ftp.nyct.net/pub/users/tallpaul/publish\story2\story352.txt> Anti-Racist Action / Montreal, "Planet Smashers, Shades of Culture To Play Benefit Tribune To Slain Anti-Racists," TINAF, 22 Jun 99, 3:48 (#287) Michael Novick (People Against Racist Terror), "Open Letter To the Simon Wiesenthal Center On Two Murdered Members of Anti-Racist Action," TINAF 3 Sep 1999 -- 3:71 (#324) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT'S WORTH CHECKING stories via <ftp://ftp.nyct.net/pub/users/tallpaul/publish/story4/> Susan Drumheller, "Attorney sues two papers: Aryan Nations' lawyer says articles libelous," 28 Aug 99, "Sagle attorney Edgar J.

But this week, when police charged three young Indians in the brutal beating of a Martin, S.D., white man named Brad Young, the story went national. Never mind that beatings rarely get even local news coverage unless they're fatal. The beating of Young, who remains in critical condition, won space in newspapers from coast to coast. Television programs such as NBC's 'Today' also gave coverage to the beating. To some American Indians, the difference in news play is clear evidence of racism." <1132.txt> American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, "Arab Americans support the fight against the takeover of KPFA," 26 Jul 99 + update, "The board members of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, San Francisco chapter fully support the fight against the 'hostile takeover' of KPFA. KPFA is one of the few media outlets that provides fair and accurate reporting on the affairs of underrepresented communities. We are concerned that the takeover might severely impact underrepresented communities such as ours by furthering their exclusion from media visibility." <1133.txt> AFL-CIO Executive Council Statement (press release), "AFL-CIO Exec Calls on WTO to Raise Living Standards," 4 Aug 99 <1134.txt> ADC (press release), "Arab Immigrants Discriminated Against by Census Bureau: Hiring Guidelines Exclude Legal Immigrants from Arab World, Africa and Asia," 13 Aug 99, "The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) has asked for clarification from the Secretary of Commerce, William M. Daly, of reports that the Department of Commerce has issued hiring guidelines for "Census 2000" jobs which would exclude all non-citizen immigrants from Arab nations. Information confirmed by ADC indicates that the Department of Commerce has sent a list of 56 "allied nations" to its census field offices, limiting the hiring of Census 2000 workers to legal immigrants from these countries only. The list apparently includes only European and Latin American nations, as well as Israel, and therefore excludes all non-citizen legal Arab immigrants solely on the basis of their country of origin." <1135.txt> Colin Adamson (Evening Standard), "Charity Shops Are Front For Fascists: Hard-Right behind London funding con," 12 Aug 99, "An extremist right-wing group with links to neo-fascists on the Continent is covertly raising funds through a chain of London 'charity' shops. An Evening Standard investigation today uncovers evidence that large numbers of unsuspecting members of the public are being duped into donating goods and money to the Trust of St Michael the Archangel, which purports to have links with the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, the trust has no connection whatsoever with the Church. Profits from the "charity" shops are financing neo-fascist propaganda and a sinister indoctrination programme specifically targeting children both in Britain and across Europe." <1136.txt> Farhan Haq (InterPress Service), "Latest Shootings Show Reach of Racist Network," 12 Aug 99, "When Buford Furrow Jr, charged with the shooting at a Jewish community centre in California, surrendered to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Wednesday he told agents that he 'wanted to send a message to America by killing Jews.'
