Tonight, Friday May 17, at 11:30 P.M. ET, TCM features The Murder of Mary Phagan, starring Peter Gallagher and Jack Lemmon. It was originally a 1988 TV miniseries four hours long.

A black janitor at an Atlanta pencil factory in 1913 raped and murdered a White girl. He managed to blame his Jewish boss, Leo Frank.

Frank was convicted by the testimony of the black janitor, Jim Conley. When his sentence was commuted to Life, Georgia citizens broke into a prison farm, kidnapped Frank and lynched him.

The film and statement by an eyewitness in the 1980s show Conley to be guilty and Frank innocent.


I made a comment under an Unz Review piece by Chris Hedges titled "Israel's Willing Executioners," saying "The Murder of Mary Phagan" was on TCM tonight. Guess who fired back with a stinging rebuke? Ron Unz, himself. Unz angrily declared Leo Frank was guilty.

My comment is Number 160. Unz indignant rebuke is at Number 180. You ought to check them out.

N.S.: Man, I’ve been hearing for years from the nazis at Unz that Leo Frank raped and murdered Mary Phagan, which for them is an indictment, no, conviction, of all Jews everywhere. The evidence? Frank was a Jew! Case closed! Why do I bother frequenting the place? Because Ron Unz carries Steve Sailer’s blog, and permits commenting, and some of the non-nazi commenters are very intelligent.

What you’re spouting is absurd propaganda and I’m shocked that anyone believes such nonsense. Do you believe everything else you see on TeeVee?

I’ve written about the Leo Frank case at considerable length and the evidence for his guilt is absolutely overwhelming. Here’s a link to my article from last year, followed by the far longer original one:

https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-the-leo-frank-case-and-the-origins-of-the-adl/

https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-the-adl-in-american-society/

But if you don’t want to bother looking at either of them, here’s a single paragraph that you should carefully consider:

Taking a broader overview, the theory advanced by Frank’s legion of posthumous advocates seems to defy rationality. These journalists and scholars uniformly argue that Conley, a semi-literate black menial, had brutally raped and murdered a young white girl, and the legal authorities soon became aware of this fact, but conspired to set him free by supporting a complex and risky scheme to instead frame an innocent white businessman. Can we really believe that the police officials and prosecutors of a city in the Old South would have violated their oath of office in order to knowingly protect a black rapist and killer from legal punishment and thereby turn him loose upon their city streets, presumably to prey on future young white girls? This implausible reconstruction is particularly bizarre in that nearly all its advocates across the decades have been the staunchest of Jewish liberals, who have endlessly condemned the horrific racism of the Southern authorities of that era, but then unaccountably chose to make a special exception in this one particular case.

N.S.: I will read Ron Unz’ longer article against Leo Frank, but don’t have time, just now.

What I will say is that if anyone doubts that there are enough anti-Semitic, White gentiles to fill a jury and railroad an innocent Jew, all one need do is visit The Unz Review on any day since 10/7, where each day has been filled with headlines screaming of “genocide,” suggesting that it was the Jews, and not the moslems who engaged in mass murder, rape, and kidnapping on 10/7.
