The penalty phase has ended. I have never seen so many liberal do-gooders in one place. What were they doing? They were asking a jury to spare the life of a vicious thug who tortured to death two innocent young people. A thug, I would add, whom all of them went out of their way to help, to no avail. Two of them testified at the parole hearing that released Davidson. Five months later the Knoxville Horror took place.
The closing arguments are in the morning, after which the jury will decide the penalty. By the way, the commenters at the Knoxville News-Sentinel blasted the judge for telling the jury that the DP was costlier. Many share our opinion that Baumgartner hopes to prevent a death sentence in this case, and has from the beginning.
On the good side, the prosecutors have cross-examined more forcefully this time than in the penalty phase of the Cobbins trial. They need to come on strong tomorrow and remind the jury what Davidson did to Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
After Judge Baumgartner’s outrageous behavior in the Cobbins trial two months ago, I said that he should be thrown off the bench and disbarred, but would more likely be lionized on the cocktail party circuit. Judge Mischief.
At her latest twitter (http://twitter.com/jamiescoop), Jamie (Satterfield, of the Knoxville News Sentinel) writes, "For the race baiters this case has drawn, nearly all defense witnesses white."
Well, of course they are Jamie. They see a mostly white jury. These witnesses also point out all the chances Slim had.
"For the first time in Knox County history, a judge will instruct the jury (http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/oct/29/torture-slaying-sentencing-judge-makes-history-wil/) that a death sentence is more expensive than life without parole. I am beginning to think Baumgartner will overturn a death sentence if the jury votes for it."
My reader “D,” who has functioned as my de facto research assistant on this case writes,
Nicholas,
The judge is making revealing rulings. Judge Baumgartner is merging the two murder counts before sentencing. the prosecution is unhappy because if one count is tossed on appeal, merging could wipe out entire case.
Judge won't allow previous carjacking victim as witness. Judge will allow defense to argue economics of death sentence.
The prosecutor, Takisha Fitzgerald lists aggravating factors, prior violent crime, torture, avoiding arrest. Newsom mutilated by fire.
The defense says "lingering doubt" weighs in Davidson's favor. He was abused, neglected, no daddy.
Back when I started reading my future colleague Steve Sailer in the early aughts, I assumed he was a Jew. The intellectual brilliance, the irony, the humor, each often seemingly as an end-in-itself. I’m sure I wasn’t alone in suspecting Sailer of being one of the tribe. These days, it seems at times that Sailer is at pains to disprove such suspicions. Doth he protest too much?
Meanwhile, since Jewish “liberals” consistently vote against their own interests, they can’t be accused of ethnocentrism. But Steve doesn’t embrace them, either.
Is his beef with them that they do not vote Republican? But one of the most powerful themes of Sailer’s work in recent years, both on the rhetoric and the facts, is the electoral unworthiness of the Republican Party and, in particular, John McCain. Sailer can hardly then condemn Jews for not having voted for McCain. (Note, too, that his graph shows approximately 40 percent of them voting twice for Ronald Reagan, and for George H.W. Bush in 1988.) Thus, what must they do, in order to return to Sailer’s good graces? Embrace immigration restriction? But then they would be guilty of ethnocentrism.
For weeks now, Yahoo has been warning users of its free Geocities Web sites that it will delete all such pages on October 26 (without saying whether that means at midnight sharp, or at some time during the day). As in, tomorrow. Yahoo has said that one may simply download each page to one’s pc, the conventional way, and indeed, I have done that in the distant past, with no problems. However, I just started trying to download all of my pages from scratch, and after doing two, tested to see if I could pull them up from their folders. In each case, my pc at first showed the title I had given the file at the top of the page, before re-directing to the (internal?) URL, http:///js_source/adframe07.html, and the screen message, “The address is not valid.”
Maybe that’s something unique to my crazy computer; maybe not. If you have been downloading Geocities Web pages the old-fashioned way, do what I did, and try to pull them up off your pc. Still better, first go offline, and then try and do it. If the files come up intact on your pc, more power to you. But if not, you’re going to have re-do the entire job, and fast.
P.S. If you have the same experience as me, the only safe ways I know of to save the files is to copy and paste each one, either to a word processing file or an e-mail, and save it. But seeing as I plan on technologically joining the 20th Century anytime now, you may have a less “cumbersome” (Yahoo’s preferred term) or more modern solution. If so, by all means post it, but to my other readers: I will not be liable for any bad advice anyone posts here. Caveat (or freeloader) emptor!
Rob Sanchez is the hardest-working journalist exposing business criminals’ (most infamously Bill Gates’) abuse of H-1b and other “non-immigrant” visas, in order to cheaply replace highly-skilled American workers with foreigners of inferior skills.
In my recent essay on the L.A. Times’ contribution to shortage shouting in the California public schools, my debt to Rob was so obvious, that I made a humorous reference to him.
Tonight, the night of October 20/21, is the official 36th anniversary of what came to be known—and later “disappeared” as—the “Zebra Murders.” The murders were a campaign of racial terror conducted by the black supremacist, domestic terror organization, the Nation of Islam (NOI).
The phrase “Zebra Murders” refers specifically to the local murder campaign that officially began on October 20/21, 1973 in San Francisco with the machete murder of Quita Hague, and attempted murder of her husband, Richard. Officially, 15 white San Franciscans were murdered, and nine wounded in the attacks that ran for 179 days, from that night onward. In fact, the San Francisco campaign had begun, at the latest, in early August, 1973, with the murders of Stephen M. Conachy, 21, and Joseph M. Villaroman, age 17, and had likely been underway in the state since the beginning of that decade.
By the time that the NOI campaign hit San Francisco, state law enforcement officers had identified scores of killings up and down the state, all following the same m.o.: A cleancut, conservatively attired, 20-something black man or group of men would kill a white stranger, either with a gun or a machete, in a “motiveless murder,” i.e., an attack not driven by the conventional motives of financial gain or sexual jealousy (love triangle). French researcher Bruno Gheerbrant has sent me files documenting 39 NOI murders during the same period in the East Bay area on the opposite end of the Golden State Bridge from San Francisco. Unlike today’s media, which variously cover up and lie about black-on-white racial murders, the East Bay newspapers emphasized the common character of the NOI killings.
A law enforcement source who worked the case at the time, told me of reading an FBI report at the time that said that the killings were not limited to California, but were being carried out across the country.
The NOI murder campaign was directed by leading figures within the NOI.
Only four men have ever been convicted and sentenced in the NOI killings: San Francisco killers Jesse Lee Cooks, Larry Green, J.C. (aka J.C.X.) Simon and Manuel Moore, and those convictions were obtained only through the testimony of NOI killer, Anthony Cornelius Harris. Cooks, Green, Simon and Moore all still in prison in California, but they could still be paroled. As the lead detectives working the case at the time, Gus Coreris and the late John Fotinos observed, there’s no such thing as “life without parole.”
In 1972, Patrolman Phillip Cardillo was murdered by Lewis 17X Dupree with Cardillo’s own weapon in a planned, ambush killing inside of NOI Mosque #7 in Harlem, which was then the mosque of Louis Farrakhan, who was conveniently out for the night. Retired NYPD detective Randy Jurgensen has chronicled the Cardillo murder in his book, Circle of Six.
Farrakhan was at the very least guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice, and more likely was guilty of conspiracy to murder a policeman. Keep in mind that the NOI murders proceeded from the highest reaches of the NOI, and that Farrakhan has long been widely believed to have orchestrated the 1965 murder of Malcolm Little/X/Shabbaz.
Lewis 17X Dupree has never paid for his crime. No NOI leader has ever paid for the NOI murders.
The NOI’s early 1970s’ mass murder campaign should not be confused with the separate mass murder campaigns carried out simultaneously by other black supremacist, domestic terrorist groups: The “Black Panthers,” “De Mau Mau,” and the “Black Liberation Army.”
In October 2007, when Louis Farrakhan called for violence against policemen, racist black CNN propagandist Roland Martin—who in February misrepresented and condemned a non-racial caricature by the New York Post’s Sean Delonas as a “racist” attack on “Barack Obama”—covered for Farrakhan, claiming that the threats were mere “rhetoric.”
MARTIN (to CNN host, Kiran Chetry): But again, but you're also not realizing the history of the Nation of Islam. And so, the Nation of Islam has long, in terms of spoken out or fought against this whole issue of “white oppression.” That is what the appeal of the Nation of Islam is. And when you go back and listen to some of the recordings and speeches of Elijah Muhammad, and you listen to Malcolm X prior to his conversion, when he went to Mecca, and say you're not going to find anything that is different. So, it is not like, it is a surprise when you actually hear the kind of rhetoric. [Or see the bloodshed accompanying it!]
“The history of the Nation of Islam”?! Do tell, Roland!
Martin: So, we can't act as if Cosby is just so different than what Farrakhan is saying. In fact, you're going to find Louis Farrakhan will often -- has been saying the same things about personal responsibility that Bill Cosby is now saying. And so, when you actually listen and study both messages, trust me, you're going to find more that's alike than that's not alike. And I have heard both, and read both, and studied both, and I have seen that difference. And, so again, it's -- would we be surprised by what Farrakhan has to say? No, he's been saying it for 40 years.
CHETRY: It's still surprising to hear it, actually.
MARTIN: But it's not. I mean I'm telling you right now. I have heard any number of speeches, in terms of, hey, how he's been highly critical. First of all, he gave us speech on Saturday in Atlanta, where he gave one of those -- the toughest speeches against violence and the degradation of women in hip-hop music. Now, I understand in terms of what were talking about, what he said on Tuesday night, but we will also say the same thing about how his criticism of a violence of the images in hip-hop music and how that is destroying African-Americans and the culture. Now, again, so we can say, well, was he strong there? Was he right there? And so, when I listen to Bill Cosby, and listen to that speak by Farrakhan, to be honest, I hear the same message.
Newsflash to Roland Martin: Bill Cosby is not the head of a domestic terrorist organization, and he does not have the blood of any policemen, or anyone else on his hands.
This is what happens, when media organizations (and academia) cave in to the demands of racist blacks to give them a monopoly on the telling of racial history and present-day race relations.
Presumably, the incident would have been a perfect opportunity for conservatives to point out that making threats of violence, besides being a crime, are an integral part of the NOI’s history of organized mass murder, to tell of its support of racial genocide, and to report that Louis Farrakhan’s hands dripped with the blood of at least one murdered white policeman.
Instead, in “CNN’s Martin Dismisses Farrakhan’s Call for Violence as Mere ‘Rhetoric,’” Matthew Balan, at the Republican Web site, Newsbusters (a subsidiary of the Brent Bozell III’s Media Research Center), merely quoted Martin (I got the quotations above from his article), without criticizing him, or providing his readers with the legal and historical significance of Farrakhan’s words.
Apparently, before one can be a GOP writer these days, one must first prove that one has been castrated.

Re: Will Davidson Walk?
Add1dda to xxxxxx@xxxxx.com - Oct 11
Dear [D],
First off, thanks for all your help. I just viewed the KNS documentary for the second time since you sent me the link, and “disappointed” doesn’t begin to express my reaction.
The most moving figures are Gary Christian and Mary Newsom. Gary Christian seems to me the sort of take-charge guy who, under the circumstances, would have either killed to protect Channon, or died trying. If Davidson walks, Christian just might do the right thing, one way or another.
The News Sentinel put so much work into denying the transparently racial motivation of the Horror, that I suspect that that was race-denying editor Jack McElroy’s entire motivation in making the documentary.
Repeatedly, we hear people on screen deny that the Horror was racially motivated, but never hear a voice of dissent, and when we are informed of the existence of dissenters, we are doubly inoculated from considering their views by: 1. Their views being suppressed, and 2. Being warned that only “white supremacy groups” think this way.
(I’m used to this sort of crap in New York, where for over 20 years, pc whites have smeared any whites complaining about black racism as “racists,” but in Knoxville, Tennessee? I don’t think so.)
Who is this Will McDonald [a young, white guy in the documentary], who argues that if you say that you believe that the crime was racist in motivation, “that just creates more racism and intolerance”? So, are you supposed to lie? And does he say the same thing to blacks, with their constant race hoaxes? Of course, not. (Is he the same Will McDonald who works at WATE?)
And get a load of Sheryl C. Rollins, the president of the Knoxville NAACP, insisting that because the crime was beyond the pale of human decency, “the African-American community” bears no responsibility for it. But the NAACP insists that whites today are collectively responsible for slavery and for all black-on-white crimes real and imagined since then, and demands affirmative action and reparations, not to mention engaging in racketeering and race hoaxes in extorting money from businesses that, if anything, were guilty of killing blacks with kindness. Don’t hold your breath waiting for her to denounce the national organization’s racial collectivism.
This “documentary” has News Sentinel editor Jack McElroy’s fingerprints all over it. At the conclusion of the Cobbins trial, in “McElroy: Cobbins case about overcoming racism,” McElroy repeated his dishonest, pc denial that the crime was a racial atrocity, and that only a racist would say otherwise:
In the end, the Letalvis Cobbins case was about race but not in the way the racists tried to spin it.
It wasn't about black against white. It was about black and white together, in crime and in justice….
When news of the crime first broke in early 2007, white supremacists pointed to it as a classic example of a black-on-white ‘hate crime.’ They staged protests in Knoxville complaining that the national media wasn't giving it coverage comparable to white-on-black incidents, such as the dubious Duke lacrosse case, which had been in the news.
But the protests have since fizzled, the people [which ones?] who tried to build the Duke case into a cause celebre have been repudiated [but the Duke case was about nothing but race!], and this month, the Christian-Newsom case was shown to be more about good and evil than about black and white.
Evil was black, but it also was white. Good was white, but it also was black.
The “helpers” day of the trial shattered any illusion that the wrongdoers were strictly African-Americans motivated by racial hatred.
A parade of white witnesses revealed the Chipman Street house to be a interracial hub of lowlifes.
Ultimately, this case was about getting beyond race to justice.
Some of the truly inhumane among us perpetrated an outrage, and decent humanity responded as best it could.
In the context of America's struggle with a racial divide, color wasn't really important, and for that we can be thankful.
People looking to re-open the Emmitt Till case now insist that blacks were also “helpers” involved in murdering young Till, but none of them has claimed that the crime was therefore not racially motivated. Neither McElroy nor anyone else has claimed,
‘Evil was white, but it also was black. Good was black, but it also was white.
‘The “helpers” day of the trial shattered any illusion that the wrongdoers were strictly whites motivated by racial hatred.
“In the context of America's struggle with a racial divide, color wasn't really important, and for that we can be thankful.”
Would McElroy then say that white NYC cop Justin Volpe, who sodomized Haitian immigrant Abner Louima with a broken broom handle, and who was universally denounced as a “racist,” even though Volpe’s fiancé was black, was not racially motivated? Don’t hold your breath.
McElroy is motivated by the racial socialist dogma, according to which only whites can be racist. That dogma is itself racist. Whites like McElroy are leaders of what I call the New White Racism.
And so, that was to be expected from McElroy. And he was not alone. The AP’s rare dispatches on the story, from Duncan Mansfield, were written only to hammer home the same talking point: ‘The crime wasn’t racially motivated, and only a white supremacist or a conservative—same difference—would say otherwise.’
After the Cobbins verdict, Mansfield repeated his talking point. When the Washington Post published it, the daily took the precaution of disabling its normal readers’ comment function, and has since sent the article down the memory hole. Too few readers can be trusted to respond correctly, and engage in “constructive dialogue.”
Jamie Satterfield, of course, is the biggest disappointment, because she’s a real reporter, and had at one point backed off from the party line, when she suggested that one didn’t have to be a “white supremacist,” in order to see this case as a racial atrocity.
She was kind enough to speak to me in the spring of 2007, when I was researching my first article on the case, and she’s devoted thousands of hours to covering the initial investigation, indictments, interviews, court hearings and trials.
But now she’s back in the fold, with a vengeance.
[In the documentary] She diminishes the distinctiveness of this sort of crime, excepting for the fact that there were two victims, and the duration of the attack. “Two victims” is a euphemism for the man being raped, as well. But I don’t hear about blacks commonly torturing and murdering random blacks, let alone raping random black men. And of course, whites virtually never commit these sorts of crimes against blacks. Hell, white-on-black rape is virtually non-existent, but you won’t hear any of this from Satterfield.
Oh, but there have been national stories, she says (of this case), specifically mentioning CNN. CNN?! CNN’s [since-cancelled] Paula Zahn Show only did the story: 1. In response to thousands of complaints about the MSM’s refusal to cover the case, and about local law enforcement’s refusal to label the Horror a hate crime; 2. In order to brand all the critics—including yours truly—as “white supremacists,” and 3. After plagiarizing my first American Renaissance story on the Horror, from which the CNN producer who wrote the story learned that white supremacist/neo-Nazi/FBI agent provocateur Hal Turner had fabricated the rumors of sexual mutilation.
And then, of course, she’s got to go and blame whites: “Whether we want to recognize it or not, a crime like this sometimes exposes veins of racism that we kept hidden.”
Yeah, veins of black racism and media racism, except that neither group ever kept them hidden!
Now, to your newest bad news, that “alleged ringleader” Lemaricus Davidson may walk, due to a technicality.
[Title] DNA test in Channon Christian's slaying raises new questions: Sample on Christian's underwear not from suspects, boyfriend
…his defense team Thursday charged the Knox County Sheriff's Office with violating attorney-client privilege and asked that the case be tossed out as a result….
Also on Thursday, Davidson's defenders accused KCSO of copying a letter from Davidson to his attorneys that outlined ‘strategy’ and factual issues and turned it over to prosecutors, violating the confidentiality afforded communication between defendants and their attorneys. They asked Baumgartner to toss out the case as a result.
“Mr. Davidson's defense has been compromised in an irreversible fashion,” they wrote.
Wrong!
Those who will argue that Davidson must be given a get-out-of-jail-free card will tell us that our cherished belief in “proceduralism” demands nothing less. We have no such cherished belief, and neither do they. As Justice Robert Jackson famously said, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.”
They see in proceduralism a scam, with which to help evil triumph.
“Proceduralism” is at best a means towards achieving the end of justice; it’s not a principle. (Contrary to an oft-repeated howler, the ends do justify the means. If they don’t, what does? I wish I could take credit for the foregoing insight, but I believe I read it in Moralische Grundbegriffe—Basic Moral Concepts—by German philosopher Robert Spaemann.) When “proceduralism” undermines justice, support for it is the stuff of either fetishism or evil.
Generations of racial socialist propaganda notwithstanding, the point of lynch justice was not to murder innocent blacks, but to provide a measure of justice, initially against white evildoers (horse thieves, specifically, during the Revolutionary War), in the presence of a legal vacuum, rather than let evil triumph. America was founded, after all, on a natural rights basis, in which rights do not flow from the government.
In the face of today’s increasingly pro-felon legal system and rogue government, lynch justice starts looking better all the time. Actually, it’s been commonly employed for several years in New Orleans, and is increasingly the only sort of justice that seems to function there.

Nicholas,
Thanks for the reply. I am a layman who keeps up with the crime news and has studied a fair amount of famous crimes. Regarding Gray Christian, I am afraid he may not survive this. There are some famous murders in which the fathers of daughters who were murdered simply drop dead. The fathers of Martha Moxley and Marcia Trimble died of heart attacks. Max Wylie, whose daughter, Janice, was slashed to death along with her roommate in her east side Manhattan apartment in the 1963 Career Girls murder shot himself in 1975.
Marcia Trimble was a 9-year old Nashville girl scout who was raped and murdered in 1975. Thirty-two years later a DNA match was made with one Jerome Barrett, a black career rapist. Barrett was convicted in July of this year (3 blacks were on the jury). It was a big shock that the killer was black.
Will Davidson walk because a letter to his attorneys was intercepted? Mail from inmates is always examined in case the letter is an escape plan or a hit on a witness. The inmates are told this. A letter to attorneys is not supposed to be. A hearing will be held Thursday in which the judge will decide if it "compromised" the defense. Bruce Poston, a prominent Knoxville criminal defense attorney, was quoted as saying that the case is unlikely to be thrown out.
When this started, the federal authorities were in charge because of the carjacking-kidnapping part of the crime, and I think the feds were going to handle the murder charges as well. They gave way to the local DA's office, but did convict Eric Boyd of accessory to carjacking in April 2008. I think (contact a legal expert) the feds could still try Davidson on carjacking and maybe even for murder. The killers of UNC student body president, Eve Marie Carson (another kidnapping scenario before the murder), are being tried in federal court for murder next year before the state tries them for the same offense (something of a surprise).
Now, for the [documentary] video. They rang in two Idiot White Liberals who say "I don't see anything racial," and denounce "those who create racism and intolerance." Jamie Satterfield (who is a competent reporter) intones about "the vein of racism this case has exposed." Well, do you wonder if there is a racial motive for raping a man and gang-raping his girlfriend before brutally murdering them?
I had wondered if you had seen KNS editor Jack McElroy's column about "overcoming racism." McElroy is a perfect example of the brain-dead, self-loathing white liberal. He is Jamie Satterfield's boss. Could she write that it was a racial crime if she wanted to? To be fair, the video is very sympathetic to Channon, Chris, and their parents.
AP reporter, Duncan Mansfield, complained about "white supremacists" and "ultra-conservative bloggers who call it a racial murder" in every article he did on the crime. I believe every reporter has Talking Points instructing them to take the party line. You can predict it before you even read it.
By the way, I used to be a white liberal myself until about 1990. I would wince every time I read about a crime like this and be afraid that it would cause a backlash. I know all too well how liberals think. They prefer not to think of the victims of this kind of crime.
The defense made another motion that will be heard next Thursday. Believe it or not, they want to delve into Channon's sexual history. I think Davidson claims that when brought into his house, Channon wanted to have sex with the devastatingly handsome Lemaricus, who gracefully complied before going out on his dope-selling run. He said something like this in his police interrogation. He also said his DNA wouldn't be on her.
It just gets uglier and uglier. Channon's parents say that their daughter was saving herself for marriage. By the way, did you notice that there was no DNA from Chris found on Channon Christian?
I have an email correspondent who spent [many] years as a prosecutor in Los Angeles. He told me that he had "many" cases like the Christian-Newsom murders. I suppose this bears out Jamie Satterfield's comment about other areas being more familiar with crimes of this sort. I believe only one of the suspects has lived most of their life in Knoxville. Davidson grew up in Memphis.

Subject: Day One KH Trial: Defense Strategy, Trash The Victims
Nicholas,
Today I watched the live stream of the Davidson trial in Knoxville. Here (http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/oct/19/torture-slaying-trial-day-1-gang-kentucky-did-it-l/) is Miss Satterfield's KNS story.
On cross defense attorney Doug Trant got Chris Newsom's friend to admit he took marijuana out of his truck. A little later, Trant, an F. Lee Bailey wannabe, said that Channon and Chris were seen at a gas station near Cheery St in East Knoxville. you can see where this is going.
In a case like this, the defense is either the victims used the N word or were buying drugs.
The defense claims that Davidson wasn't present during the killings. They admit he had "vaginal intercourse," without mentioning the anal semen found. Nor did the defense mention in the opening that Davidson was in possesion of Newsom's shoes.
It's going to be ugly.

Dear [D],
I was familiar with the cases you cited, but not with the fates of the victims’ fathers. I pray that your fears about Gary Christian do not materialize.
As for the newest dirty tactics, Knoxville blacks had already been spreading the rumor right after the bodies were found, that the victims had been looking to buy drugs, as if that would justify carjacking, kidnapping, gang-raping, torturing and murdering them, so this was merely the next step. A great many blacks have no sense of shame, when it comes to rationalizing racist atrocities against whites, and Davidson’s defense attorneys are merely imitating them. They’ll say they are merely giving their client a vigorous defense, which is as credible as when rappers say they are “keepin’ it real.”
Re: DNA; yeah, and the DNA found from two additional men means not that Channon was a slut, but that there were two more rapists in the house on Chipman Street.
Speaking of which, have you ever tried reading the killers,’ er, defendants’ police statements? It’s like trying to get the truth out of the New York Times, for cryin’ out loud! ‘She never screamed, no matter what they did to her’; ‘I never touched her, I only brought her a glass or water’; ‘She offered me oral sex’; ‘I never saw or heard any guy getting raped’; ‘I never noticed that she was black-and-blue and bloody from head to toe,’ etc….
(N.S.: I just found this essay here, at the Australian Web site, The Realists. Although it sounds like me, I didn’t write it. Of course, there are millions of American whites who could have written the same words. The interesting part is that the author, Paul Sheehan, is an Aussie—apparently of Irish descent—a columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald. However, I very much doubt that Sheehan—not to be confused with leftwing American propagandist Neil Sheehan—would be able to get away with writing such an honest essay today. Except for the essay’s first clause, all emphases and hyperlinks were added by me.)
By Paul Sheehan The Sydney Morning Herald, 20 May 1995
The longest war America has ever fought is the Dirty War, and it is not over. It has lasted 30 years so far and claimed more than 25 million victims. It has cost almost as many lives as the Vietnam War. It determined the result of last year’s congressional election. And it helps explain the paranoid undertow of American politics that found its most gruesome expression in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Yet the American news media do not want to talk about the Dirty War, which remains between the lines and unreported. In fact, to even suggest that the war exists is to be discredited. So let’s start suggesting, immediately.
No matter how crime figures are massaged by those who want to acknowledge or dispute the existence of a Dirty War, there is nothing ambiguous about what the official statistics portray: for the past 30 years a large segment of black America has waged a war of violent retribution against white America.
And the problem is getting worse, not better. In the past 20 years, violent crime has increased more than four times faster than the population. Young blacks (under 18) are more violent than previous generations and are 12 times more likely to be arrested for murder than young whites.
Nearly all the following figures, which speak for themselves, have not been reported in America:
• According to the latest US Department of Justice survey of crime victims, more than 6.6 million violent crimes (murder, rape, assault and robbery) are committed in the US each year, of which about 20 per cent, or 1.3 million, are inter-racial crimes.
• Most victims of race crime — about 90 per cent — are white, according to the survey “Highlights From 20 Years of Surveying Crime Victims”, published in 1993.
• Almost 1 million white Americans were murdered, robbed, assaulted or raped by black Americans in 1992, compared with about 132,000 blacks who were murdered, robbed, assaulted or raped by whites, according to the same survey.
• Blacks thus committed 7.5 times more violent inter-racial crimes than whites even though the black population is only one-seventh the size of the white population. When these figures are adjusted on a per capita basis, they reveal an extraordinary disparity: blacks are committing more than 50 times the violent racial crimes of whites.
• According to the latest annual report on murder by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, most inter-racial murders involve black assailants and white victims, with blacks murdering whites at 18 times the rate that whites murder blacks.
These breathtaking disparities began to emerge in the mid-1960s, when there was a sharp increase in black crime against whites, an upsurge which, not coincidentally, corresponds exactly with the beginning of the modern civil rights movement.
Over time, the cumulative effect has been staggering. Justice Department and FBI statistics indicate that between 1964 and 1994 more than 25 million violent inter-racial crimes were committed, overwhelmingly involving black offenders and white victims, and more than 45,000 people were killed in inter-racial murders. By comparisons 58,000 Americans died in Vietnam, and 34,000 were killed in the Korean War.
When non-violent crimes (burglary, larceny, car theft and personal theft) are included, the cumulative totals become prodigious. The Bureau of Justice Statistics says 27 million non-violent crimes were committed in the US in 1992, and the survey found that 31 per cent of the robberies involved black offenders and white victims (while only 2 per cent in the reverse).
When all the crime figures are calculated, it appears that black Americans have committed at least 170 million crimes against white Americans in the past 30 years. It is the great defining disaster of American life and American ideals since World War II.
Apologists for black crime have always argued that such crime is largely economic, not racial; whites have the money, while blacks have the poverty. This rationalisation is only partly true. Unfortunately, the racist character of the Dirty War is obvious every day in a cascade of large and small animosities.
It is the more than 1,600 murders of whites by blacks each year, hundreds of them overtly racial, such as the killing of 19-year-old Michael Westerman in Tennessee, who was shot to death in January by four black youths because he was flying a confederate flag on his truck.
It is the belief held by a dominant majority of black Amer¬icans that O. J. Simpson should be acquitted of charges of murdering two white people, despite a superhighway of DNA evidence linking him to the murder scene, despite his long record of violence against women, and despite his complete absence of an alibi.
It is the naked racism and anti-Semitism of the black news media (which goes unchallenged by the mainstream media). Typically black newspapers and radio stations threw their support behind Colin Ferguson last year, arguing that he went on a rampage, shooting 19 whites, because he was deranged by “black rage”, a symptom caused by white racism.
It is the atavistic rhetoric of the Rev Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, whose rallies attract 20,000 people cheering Farrakhan’s calls for violence against the white devils.
It is my own experience with black Americans in the past decade, which includes attempted murder, assault, theft, bottle-throwing, being showered with beer, and being called “cracker”, “honkey”, “motherf. . .er”, “white trash”, and “blue-eyed devil”.
The general debauching of the civil rights movement is the great undercurrent of American politics today. It expresses itself in a multitude of code terms substituted for black violence and black failure. It was the well-spring of the Republican election triumph last year, a triumph whose velocity the American media completely failed to foresee.
Now the US is confronting the spectre of violent white reaction. Tellingly, the prime suspect in the Oklahoma City bombing, Timothy McVeigh, is virulently anti-black. And the militia movement from which he sprang despises the Federal Government’s aggressive preferences for blacks in jobs, education and civil rights.
This fury is not confined to the margins of society. The National Rifle Association, with its 3.5 million members and power in the Republican Party, is constantly harping about “jackboot tactics” by the Federal Government and its anti-government rhetoric in the wake of the Oklahoma bombing even prompted former President Bush to resign his membership.
Black America, too, has its own paranoid, anti-police, armed groups – hundreds of them, with tens of thousands of members. These are called gangs. It is no coincidence that the city with the highest concentration of gangs, Los Angeles, was in a state of virtual civil war in 1992 during the Rodney King riots, which the black community still describes as an “uprising”.
All these are facts, yet by simply writing this story, by assembling the facts in this way, I would be deemed a racist by the American news media. It prefers to maintain a paternalistic double-standard in its coverage of black America, a lower standard.
More such material—much more—has been collected by Naked Emperor News at his YouTube page. I advise you to hit this Naked Emperor News link, and view and download all of the “Obama” videos there while you can because, at the rate that the John Doe calling himself Barack Obama and his similarly bloody-minded comrades are going, this material isn’t going to be there for long… and neither are we.
The basis for Gardner’s story is Duncan Mansfield’s May 18, 2007 Associated Press story, whose most fully race-baiting version was published in the International Herald Tribune. Mansfield’s story, which would serve well in J-schools as a textbook lesson in how to conduct uninvestigative journalism, has since been sent down the memory hole, and so the IHT version, which I downloaded on May 22, 2007, follows below.
Critics say the liberal news media are ignoring Knoxville, Tennessee, couple slaying
(No byline in this version—By Duncan Mansfield)
The Associated Press
Friday, May 18, 2007
KNOXVILLE, Tennessee: In a powerful demonstration of the way the Internet has opened up the mainstream media to intensive second-guessing, bloggers are charging that U.S. news outlets have ignored the rape and murder of a young Knoxville couple because of the racial implications of the story.
The two victims were white; the five defendants are black.
The critics include mainstream conservatives, such as the National Review, and white supremacists. They have drawn comparisons to the Duke University lacrosse rape case and wondered why the killings of Channon Christian, a 21-year-old University of Tennessee student, and her 23-year-old boyfriend Christopher Newsom are not getting the same attention from what the bloggers regard sneeringly as the liberal media.
"Oh, that's right, the victims were WHITE!" several conservative blogs have observed.
Or as National Review columnist Jack Dunphy commented online: "Uh oh, we're not supposed to talk about such things, are we."
It was bloggers who undermined CBS anchorman Dan Rather's 2004 report about President George W. Bush's National Guard service, digging up evidence that the documents may have been forgeries. The next year, CNN chief Eason Jordan resigned after bloggers jumped all over him for supposedly saying that some journalists killed in Iraq by the U.S. military had been targeted. Last year, bloggers figured out that a Reuters photo showing the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike on Beirut had been doctored.
Local media in Knoxville have covered developments in the carjacking case since the bodies were found, and The Associated Press ran stories that were transmitted nationally. But the killings have received scant attention from other media outlets.
"The Internet has been basically chastising the mainstream media now, it seems, since the Internet opened up," said Aly Colon at the Poynter Institute, a journalism think tank in St. Petersburg, Florida.
"I mean, as soon as somebody had an electronic Internet megaphone, the opportunity to throw brickbats at the media just got amplified from the backyard-over-the-fence to an e-mail or a blog. That isn't necessarily new, but I think what you are witnessing may be is an increasing amount of that taking place."
Christian and Newsom were last seen Jan. 6. They were carjacked as they were leaving a friend's apartment. Newsom's shot and burned body was found the next day along the railroad tracks, and Christian's corpse was discovered two days later in a trash can at a house rented by one of the defendants. Both had been sexually assaulted. Household cleaner had been poured in her mouth to remove evidence, according to court records.
Some Internet postings have suggested the killings should be treated as a hate crime. But Police Chief Sterling Owen said: "We have no evidence to support the notion that this was a race-based crime. We see this as a cold-blooded murder."
Similarly, claims made over the Internet that the couple were sexually mutilated are "absolutely not true," John Gill, special assistant to District Attorney Randy Nichols, said Friday.
Christian's father, Gary Christian, wore a Confederate flag T-shirt — a symbol of the Old South where slavery was rifre [sic] — to the first hearing for one of the defendants and then pointed at the man as if firing a gun. But family lawyer Joe Costner said Channon Christian's parents have repeatedly said they do not believe their daughter's killing was race-related.
Lemaricus Davidson, 25; his brother, Letalvis Cobbins, 24; George Thomas, 24; and Cobbins' former girlfriend, Vanessa Coleman, 18, are charged with murder. A fifth defendant, Eric Boyd, 34, is being held on a federal charge of being an accessory after the fact, accused of helping Davidson.
The victims did not know the attackers and were just "at the wrong place at the wrong time," Gill said.
The four murder defendants will be given separate trials, beginning next May. Prosecutors have yet to say whether they will seek the death penalty.
Among the bloggers who have questioned the media coverage is country singer Charlie Daniels.
"I am not going to call it reverse racism," said Daniels, who has written on his Web page about how little he has heard of the case in Nashville, about 150 miles (244 kilometers) west of Knoxville. "But I will say it is very selective.
"There are probably not five stories in the country that could possibly have been more important than that one during the time it was going on," he said. "It is totally, completely unfair to the memory of these young people not to inform people about what happened to them."
More than a dozen e-mails to the Cleveland Plain Dealer in recent weeks have raised similar concerns, reader representative Ted Diadiun said. "Why are you guys covering this up?" they ask.
Diadiun said that based on the AP stories, it appeared that the crime was horrible but not substantially different from ones that "regrettably occur all over the country every day."
Glenn Reynolds, a University of Tennessee law professor who operates Instapundit, a current events blog, said he was branded an apologist after he wrote that he had seen no evidence the killings were a hate crime.
However, he said: "I think it is totally true if the races of the perpetrators and the victims were reversed, the press would make a bigger deal about it. I think some people have been hanging back for fear of inflaming things."
Ted Gest, president of the Criminal Justice Journalists group, a national organization of reporters who cover crime, courts and prisons, said interracial crime tends to get more coverage than when the criminal and victim are of the same race.
"But I can't say that this one would have had any more coverage if five whites had been accused of doing these things to two blacks, absent a blatant racial motive," he said. "As bad as this crime is, the apparent absence of any interest group involvement or any other 'angle' might also explain the lack of coverage."
Wow. What can I say. Wow. I'm honored. Clearly Big Guy - who can't stop dancing on the bed up in the residence right now, by the way - won this award for his speeches. I mean, after nominating himself for the Nobel Prize for Peace two weeks after entering the office of the Presidency, let's face it, it isn't like he had anything to show for it.
He said if he'd known it was this easy to win a Nobel, he would have nominated himself for the Nobel Prize for Literature years ago for his 5th Grade essay on "Raisin the Sun" (of course, he would have had to share that prize with Billy Ayers). Or his yeast science project from 7th grade for the Nobel Prize for chemistry.
There's so much to do now before the awards ceremony in Oslo. I'm going to have to buy a white tie and tails, and really get a good, high-gloss screen polishing for the awards ceremony. Big Guy is hoping that after accepting the Nobel for peace, if he gives a really good speech, they'll give him a second Nobel for talking, because he's really earned that one.
Lady M is thrilled, because a check for $1.5 million comes with the medal….
"What do you have to do today to get the death penalty?" asked Channon Christian’s father incredulously.
Letalvis Cobbins, a black man, was convicted of kidnapping, raping, and murdering the 21-year-old white girl in the January 2007 Knoxville Horror. And yet the jurors sentenced him to "life without parole". ["Letalvis Cobbins found guilty in Christian—Newsom murders," WATE, August 25, 2009.]
Since murderers have been known to be released from prison sentences of "life without parole", and prison is for the most violent black and Hispanic offenders a felon’s paradise, replete with cable TV, weight lifting, and ample opportunities to deal and buy drugs and gang-rape white men, Cobbins’ sentence is both misleading and of dubious punitive value.
The jury’s pretext for not sentencing Cobbins to death for the most heinous crimes ever committed in Knox County: laughable "mitigating" factors, which it asserted outweighed any aggravating factors: "[A] horrific childhood, the pleas of his relatives and his alleged role as subordinate to an evil mastermind".
One or more of the potential jurors obviously perjured himself during voir dire.
I read the following blog essay, by “9mmMax,” at American Renaissance’s Web page for Stephen Dinan’s Washington Times story, “Liberals Seek Health-Care Access for Illegals.”
I add only the observation that since reportedly two-to-three times as many legal as illegal immigrants enter America every year, and each legal family is a net tax-eater, to the tune of thousands of dollars annually, the costs incurred on predominantly white, citizen-taxpayers by legal immigrants is even higher than those incurred by illegals. And since illegals are already exploiting our health-care system through free maternity ward deliveries, emergency room visits, and expensive procedures and operations, short-term, Obamacare for illegals may not incur additional costs on citizen-taxpayers. The additional economic costs of the program—through chain migration from Third World countries—follow its political costs: It is a ruse that is part of a package deal to bring about a stealth amnesty, and to eliminate the private health care and health insurance industries.
Fellow citizens some of us major in madness, perhaps madness squared! They come illegally and we say ‘poor Jose just wants a better life’. They stay illegally and we arrange a job, cash basis if no paperwork. They stay illegally, and buy counterfeit documents for a better job. They stay illegally, make babies and we make the babies citizens. They stay illegally, put their citizen babies on welfare to lower expenses. They stay illegally, use fraudulent documents for bank accounts. They stay illegally, use fraudulent documents for driver’s license. They stay illegally, use fraudulent documents to buy a home, perhaps subsidized. They stay illegally, send school age children to free public schools. They stay illegally, and wonder why they shouldn’t vote on community matters. They stay illegally, and do Lord-only-knows what else that should be reserved for citizens only! They stay illegally, and now we provide them health insurance, also subsidized. One day some authority wakes up and says ‘say Jose I have discovered you are here illegally and you will have to go home now’. Little wonder that Jose objects to being sent home after being welcomed to all these opportunities. Madness!!!!
