Did you ever hear the story about the Pot calling the Kettle black? From the Desk of Oded Feingold (speaking on the subject of "Right Wing Extremists"): >The people who >undertake their depredations are not the Blacks and the Wickstroms, >but the poor psychos who really believe. Because they are amassing >automatic weapons, they are becoming a match, in individual cases, for >local police departments. In future, they can be expected to grow >stronger, and engage in raids, robberies, assassinations, attacks on >synagogues (which are already taking place, for example) and the >issuance of vigilante "justice," .... Nope, they sure ain't the Blacks and the Wickstroms. Black and Wickstrom are smart enough not to pull off the dumb stunts that our detractors do. Here's a prime example of what we can expect, taken from the September 1985 issue of the "Christian Patiriot Crusader," from Pastor Jack Mohr, 113 Ballentine St., Bay St. Louis, MS 39520: "On the night of June 4th-5th, 1985, the office building in which the German-American National Political Office has its headquarters, was attacked by professional arsonists. The most important aspect of the whole incident is that the attack on GANPAC was a non-event as far as the news media was concerned. Did any of you read about it in your local newspaper or see it mentioned on national TV? Of course not! Why would the controlled media want you to know about some little incident such as this, especially since it was directed against those "bad Germans" we have been hearing so much about. Of course, the fact that the Jewish Defense League called in and bragged that they had done the job had nothing to do with this, now did it? Just imagine the headlines and the screaming which would have taken place, if one of the ADL offices had been bombed and someone had called in and said: 'I'm a German and I did it to those blankety-blank Jews.' "Strangely enough, the New York Times carried an article on [a] terrorist attack which took place in Pakistan on the same day, but they were careful to omit the one which took place in Santa Monica, California. So much for the newspaper which prints 'all the news which is fit to print!'" (The article continues for a page and a half about the aftermath and cleanup.) (By the way, don't bother sending me "flames." Send them to Pastor Mohr, if you dare.) Let's add to that the incident in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, that almost killed a Boston Police Officer last month. It seems that the local cell of the JDL planted a pipe bomb on the steps of the offices of an Arab ethnic group on Center St. in West Roxbury, an affluent village of the City of Boston. The device was discovered before it detonated, and the Boston Police Bomb Squad responded. As an officer was placing the weapon into a cart for disposal, it detonated, causing severe injuries to his hands and face. Now I ask you, who is engaged in vigilantism? Who is engaged in violence? Who uses implements of destruction? Who's blacker, the kettle or the pot? I tell you what, Good People---the Jewish Defense League and its smaller cohort, the Jewish Defense Organization, are two of the best allies that the Radical Right ever had. They make it very, very easy for us to present our case. --Don Black %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The standard disclaimers apply.
