Trump on Thunbjong, Kosh Farage. I want to welcome everyone back to part six of my reading of Crying Wolf, Hate Crime Hoaxes in America by layered Will Cox.

Just a quick reminder, Thomas and I have been watching and reviewing movies. Freemam Beyond the Wall.com forward slash movies. Last movie we did was the 1979 classic The Warriors, did the original Mad Mad Man Man. Max before that, and got one schedule coming up, so watch out for that. All right. We left off at Chapter 7, Other Minorities. Let's get into it. Although blacks and Jews are the subject of most of the hoaxes, members of other ethnic

groups have also taken part. A Seattle-Washington case involving an Asian man demonstrates how complicated hoaxes can become. In November 1990, the Seattle Chinese Post and Ethnic Weekly carried the head. headline, UW rally against racism in support of Park, referring to Daris Park, a 23-year-old Korean Chinese student who had claimed he was attacked by six white men wielding baseball bats and tire irons. Park was quoted as saying, hate crimes, that is usually racially motivated crimes, have been on the rise, and traditionally Asians have been told to grin and bear it.

This rally is telling them something different. They don't have to be victims. Park claimed that three whites had held off his two Caucasian friends, while a small crowd gathered to cheer the attackers on, some of them yelling, brain the gook. He also said that without his knowledge of martial arts, his attackers would have succeeded. Clearly, Daris Park had become a local hero in a fight against bigotry and prejudice. On November 14th, Park spoke at an anti-hatred rally sponsored by a University of Washington Civil Rights Group, chanting, hey, ho, racism is got to go and waving banners. Some 150 University of Washington students marched on the university president's office demanding

justice. Accounts of the alleged attack appeared nationwide, as well as in the International Herald Examiner. But there were problems with Park's story. Although Park claimed that he had reported the attack to police after visit to a local hospital, police had no record of a report being filed. In fact, they had contacted Park after a story about the attack of police. appeared in a community newspaper.

Kevin Kane, a friend of Park, who claimed to have witnessed the attack and who backed up Park's assertion that he had reported the attack to police, revised his account under police questioning. I told them I was not at the station when the police, when the report was filed, he said. But this was not a routine hate crime hoax. On 13th December, 1990, Daris Park and a Confederate were charged with three armed bank robberies in Seattle and Battleground. Also charged in the bank robberies with Park was Joseph Fritz, White, who had also witnessed the attack on Park and initially supported the account to newspapers and police.

On December 18th, Seattle Police reported that Park's account of the alleged hate crime was a gross exaggeration. The event, it turned out, involved an altercation outside a nightclub in which Park and a single opponent were both armed with clubs, not six racist skinheads, as Park had reported. On the 28th of January 1992, Park pleaded guilty to bank robbery charges under an arrangement where the government agreed to drop weapons charges. Under federal sentencing guidelines, he could be sentenced up to 80 years in prison. A Maryland House of Delegates candidate returned to his Fort Washington home in September 1990 to find two of his campaign signs burning in his yard and racial epithets painted on his garage. David Valderrama, a former Prince George's County Orphans Court Judge, a Filipino descent, was running on a slate of candidates called

the Democratic Unity Team, which included five blacks, the judge, and one white. He speculated that the incident was the work of a bigot or political opponent. Within a few days, another story began to emerge. As investigating officers began to probe deeper into Alderama's story, he stopped cooperating. Lieutenant Colonel Robert Phillips, commander of the patrol division, noted that he failed to keep a for questioning. On the first occasion, he did not keep the appointment indicating that his schedule prevented it. On the second occasion, he said he would not give a statement on the advice of his attorney. Police also said that they had fingerprint evidence in a case of alleged hate mail directed at Valdarama, but when they asked him to provide his fingerprints or take a polygraph

examination, he refused. In the meantime, the criminal investigation focus began to shift toward a campaign staffer who also refused to cooperate with investigators. Investigators that come to suspect someone on the staff because of the skillfully generated publicity by Valderama's handling of the incidents. On the 15th of September, 12 days after the incident occurred, the case was closed, although a WUSAT TV television report said that Valderrama was a suspect in the case. A major cross-burning case in Prince George's County was closed because of political pressure according to reports, which say that the stumbling block was the Office of State Attorney Alex Williams. Mr. Williams is politically aligned with a person who reported the crime on the property,

state delegate David Valdarama. In San Jose, California, Chin Wenz family found swastikas and antique Asian graffiti scrawled outside their home on December 19, 2002. The Vandals had written bitch and catch up on Wend's daughter's Betty's car and wrote Nip bitch and KKK on the sidewalk and driveway of the house. Officer Veronica Damon said the police department is investigating the incident as a hate crime, which carries a maximum punishment of one year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Betty Nguyen said, we're standing up against discrimination and racism once and for all. I think people should be aware of racial

tension in the community. Five days later, however, newspapers downgraded the hate crime to a prank. Police detective Sergeant Art Munoz said the 17-year-old culprit, also Vietnamese American, had quarreled with betting when three months previous, and drew swastikas, KKK, and slogans on the family property to anger the girl. Detective Munoz said that investigators felt something wasn't right at the beginning of the case. Some of the slurs used almost polite language instead of the ugly terms often used in bona fide hate crimes. Sergei Rivera Ayala, a native of Mexico, and a Spanish instructor at Syracuse University, New York, claimed that he had been abducted at knife point by two men. Sheriff's deputies found him lying on the roadside, July 11, 1990, his hands tied behind his back with his own bandana. He said he had been shopping for milk at a Cortland grocery store. Deputies didn't believe him, and he was arrested for a burglary at a nearby home.

Ayala maintained that he had been arrested and victimized by police solely because of his race. Nine months later, in April 1991, Ayala pleaded guilty to a reduced crime of criminal trespass in the second degree, a Class A misdemeanor, and admitted in writing that the abduction story was a hoax. Ayala, an assigned statement said, to the extent that there has been created the impression that I was arrested, prosecuted, and persecuted because of my Mexican heritage and dissent, I apologize. In Detroit, Michigan, an Arab American was charged with arson in a 1991. incident in which he blamed anti-Arab racism for a fire at his dairy queen. Karim Kuri, 36, was indicted on charges of arson and insurance fraud in July 1993, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen Markman. According to news reports, prosecutor said Curry hired an employee to set the January

1991 fire to collect the insurance. The fire caused up to $500,000 in damage. Days before, someone tossed paint balloons and sprayed graffiti on the restaurant, in authorities said and authorities said appeared to be an anti-Arab attack. I think calling it a restaurant's a stretch, but okay. All right.

Chapter 8. False charges of racism and anti-Semitism. Given the strong social taboos attached to anything perceived as racism or anti-Semitism, it is no small thing when false charges of this sort are leveled. A major difficulty lies in the fact that both racism and anti-Semitism are vague,

and poorly defined terms in popular usage. I can tell you what they both are. There are both terms applied to people that others don't like. There you go. Eric Brindle makes this observation about racism. The very charge of racism has already been rendered nearly meaningless by those who use it recklessly to describe everything with which they're unhappy. From university tuition increases to the black dropout rate to the indictment of Marion Barry

to the appearance of crack in the inner city. David Wilson, a columnist for the Boston Globe, noted that to be accused of racism is like being sprayed by a skunk. He continues, even if a wholly exculpatory response can be made, the party charged with racism remained subtly tainted, possibly because the charge itself consists in part of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The accused, ordinarily ambushed and unaccustomed to being insulted and lied about, is unlikely to think kindly of the accuser.

Well, that's a good point. I think he raises a good point there. You know, what's the, what is usually the main factor in somebody deciding that, you know, it's not all of a race, but I'm deciding that I'm going to avoid that race? Is that races or that group's behavior? That's it. Normally. Catch them in the corner of your eye. Distinctive, by design.

That's it. Huh. Nothing else. Anti-Semitism is even worse. It conjures up images of concentration camps, gas chambers, and Nazi stormtroopers. When John Carroll, a columnist for the San Francisco Examiner, criticized Israel for his treatment of the Palestinians,

he was deluged with hate mail, which he characterizes easily the most powerful. personally hostile I've ever received. Shocking, huh? I mean, like since October 7th of 2023, I mean, huh.

He says, I was called an anti-Semite. It's a cheap libel because it's so impossible to refute. Try it yourself. I've just called you an anti-Semite. What do you do now? What do I do?

And? Okay. What? I hope that you didn't say that some of your best friends are Jewish, that was revealed long ago as just another euphemism for anti-Semitism. So what else? Remember, I actually praised the contributions of Jews to the 20th century culture. That was seen by more than one correspondent as proof of my sneaky tactics. Don't do that. Don't do that. And you're retarded. You can't even point out the unfairness of it.

That's called blaming the victim. So what do you do? You just shut up. is what you do. You can't prove a negative. There it is. On the record, you're an NCSemite because someone said so. And,

and, and, and, fuck off. There's a good response. That's the one I like. Sometimes resistant is not all futile.

Here are some accounts of individuals and in one case the U.S. Army who fought back when they were falsely charged with racism and anti-Semitism.

An incident which demonstrates the credulousness of both the news media and politicians whenever anti-Semitism is invoked occurred when World War II veteran David Rabitsky, 71 claimed in 1988 that he had single-handedly wiped out up to 600 Japanese soldiers in the Battle of New Guinea on December 1st, 1942.

A transparently fantastic allegation. I mean, I have a... Rubikski? I'm there's too much my brain just fried the bodies of the japanese soldiers were lying there on branches roots piled up like cord wood atop one another some were still alive some i just hit in the shoulder and couldn't and couldn't move some in the legs so i would just shoot them and bayonet them shoot them and bayonet them i was completely an insane man to think that a human being would be would do that to another human being, what I did.

Robesky, a communication sergeant at the time, said the ordeal took some 21 hours, and then he used a 30-caliber heavy machine gun, a Browning automatic rifle, and an M.1 rifle. He also claimed that he had been denied a Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroic feat solely because of anti-Semitism. He said that Army Colonel John W. Mott had told him that we don't give the medal to Jews. Okay. I'm not even going to talk about the fact that he's.

he just like completely made this up and that it's like the number that he the number in the amount that he killed. Okay. According to Rubitsky, this wasn't his only brush with anti-Semitism. Victimization has been a recurring theme in his life. He said his family was frequently victimized when he was growing up in Edgerton, Wisconsin. Two times we had crosses burned on our lawn by a political organization, he said. My father was beaten up many, many times for no reason at all. While I was in the service, my mother was being harassed. For several years, Rubitsky diligently pursued the Medal of Honor issue largely through a sympathetic and uncritical news media and the assistance of the Anti-Defamation League. Due to pressure generated on Rubikski's behalf by the ADL, including a resolution signed by 92 members of Congress, the Army undertook a two-year

review of his claim in 1987. Newspapers around the nation credulously bought the story. An editorial in the Francisco Chronicle opine, the ugly possibility that discrimination played a significant role in denying the Medal of Honor to heroic American soldiers in both World Wars has been raised in the extraordinary case of Jewish veteran credited with single-handedly killing more than 500 infantrymen. I thought it was 600. I had some zeros to that to make it realistic. The Madison-Wisconsin Capital Times published an article headlined, World War II soldiers started anti-Semitism battle early in life.

Stories dramatizing the anti-Semitism angle appeared in publications ranging from Time Magazine to the New York Times. What they really needed to do was make a TV movie about him murdering the 600 people. That's what they needed to do. I mean, they were stacked up like Corkwood, they were completely helpless,

and this guy, a proud Jewish man, because, I mean, let's face it, his whole identity is based around that, obviously, just bayoneting and shooting and just kidding. I mean, I'd make for riveting television. How come they didn't make a movie about that? In the meantime, it was learned that Rubitsky had signed a book contract with Walter Kozak, a reporter for National Public Radio, which had heavily publicized Rubikski's plight.

You paid for that. Kozak's sister, Milwaukee attorney Ellen Kozak, is a friend of the Rubisky family. Ha ha, I bet. On December 8, 1989, following an unprecedented 23-month study of his allegations, the Army concluded that Rubikski's claim was unfounded. The Army obtained evidence from forensic specialists and took statements from Ribicki and 20 others who were at the scene. The Anti-Defamation League called the decision unconscionable.

Abe Foxman said the agent. ADL would urge Army Secretary Michael Stone to reverse the ruling in spite of the evidence. The Army investigation found that a photograph with a message that 600 fine soldiers died because of a single American soldier was spurious and fraudulent. Japanese and American military records were in agreement that no such an attack by the Japanese had ever taken place. Even members of Rubisky's Old World War II unit disputed his claim and called it a hoax. George Hess, a member of Rubikisky's infantry regiment said, it's the biggest fairy tale anyone, anybody has ever told the U.S.

Army to get a medal. Claire O. L. said the claim was one big hoax and that Rabitsky was hiding behind a smokescreen of anti-Semitism to cover up his flintzy unsubstantiated fairy tale. On February 9th, 1992, two months after the Army report, Jewish Week reported that the Anti-Defamation League had finally conceded the Army's position. With that, the story disappeared. Undounded, Rabitsky vowed to fight on. I just want to ask you to think about what he, the claim he made, and that he was bragging about it. And that the U.S. military, post-World War II, would even consider giving him a medal for what he did. There's no honor in what he did.

As a matter of fact, he sounds like a serial killer. Is what he was describing that he did. If false charges that an individual is anti-Semitic or racist or damaging, imagine what false charges that he as a Nazi war criminal might be like. A Chicago residence had to go through such an ordeal in 1978. The United States government eventually wound up agreeing that charges should never been filed in the first place and paid 30,000, about 50% of his attorney fees.

Frank Wallace was born. born in 1922 in Germany. When he was 10 years old, his family moved to Poland. In September 1939, the Germans invaded that country. And five months later, Wallace, who was of small stature, and a group of other Polish Jews were taken to Germany to work on farms, which he continues to do throughout the war. Wallace immigrated to the United States in 1963, where he was joined by his wife and three children. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1970. His nightmare began in January, 1977, when he was served with papers by the U.S. Justice Department, accusing him of concealing involvement in war crimes and membership in

Nazi organizations when he applied for citizenship. A year later, Wallace found himself, Wallace has spelled a W-A-L-U-S for those who were not reading along. A year later, Wallace found himself in federal court listening to a testimony that implicated him in the murder of nearly two dozen civilians while acting as a German Gestapo officer during World War II. The charges were the results of an investigation began in 1973 by controversial Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. According to Wiesenthal, his own unnamed sources and Israeli police had learned of a former Nazi Gestapo agent who was living in Chicago. The man was allegedly Frank Wallace. Fucking believable. During his trial, Wallace listened to utterly fantastic accounts

from eyewitnesses imported from Israel. Do you really think we have a country? Do you really think the United States is a country? Is a serious country? Is a sovereign fucking country? Monique Raczynski, 58, for example, said he saw Wallace beat a Jewish man to death with an iron bar next to Gestapo headquarters

in Poland in 1940. Joseph Konigsberg, a resident of Tel Aviv, said he saw Wallace kill a lawyer the day after Yom Kippur in 1942. Malik Vosinvald, a Tel Aviv shopkeeper, testified through a Yiddish language interpreter that he saw Wallace kill three people in Kels on August 24, 1942. Among other allegations were that Wallace shot a mother and her two daughters in Chesterjova, that he shot three Jews who were. were too weak to work, that he marched 10 to 15 children, ages 4 to 9, into a building in

Kielsen, killed all of them with his pistol. He was also accused of killing a woman who emerged from a hospital, and when her daughter bent over her body and cried, Mama, Mama, killing her too, all the eyewitnesses were absolutely certain that Wallace was the culprit. Newspapers reported that they pointed to him, seated at the defense table in Heston Polish, here is the murderer, or I will never forget that face. Are you fucking kidding me? Do you fucking see this? Ready for huge savings?

Trump on Dunbiog, Kush Faragea. Do you fucking see this? You understand that people believe all of this shit because of eyewitness testimony. There was just one small problem with all of this. The Justice Department, Simon Wiesenthal, and all the witnesses were fucking wrong. I added the fucking in there. In addition, to producing witnesses and documents that corroborated his own account, there were several major discrepancies that should have tipped off government attorneys. Among them were the fact that Wallace

was only five foot two inches tall, far too short to be allowed to join Gestapo in the first place. Some witnesses claimed Wallace was over six feet tall. And he would have had to have been a Gestapo officer at age 19 or 20, which was impossible. Nevertheless, a civil trial with rules of evidence far more lenient than in criminal trial presided over by Judge Julius Hoffman found Wallace guilty in order deportation proceedings. Later, an appeals court reversed the conviction in order to new trial. By this time, however, Justice Department officials were beginning to realize that would face a major embarrassment if another trial were to take place. They dismissed the case, apologized and awarded Wallace 34,000 of the estimated 60,000 he had spent on his defense.

Frank Wallace puzzles to this day how the U.S. government could have been led by the nose by professional Nazi hunters and their quote-unquote witnesses. He says before January 26, 1977, nobody called me in or nobody came over to see me and maybe ask me, Mr. Wallace, listen, we have a complaint against you. What do you want to say about this? Do you have any proof that this is not true, as far as I'm concerned, these are probably professional witnesses, paid witnesses who do this shit. I don't know if Simon Wiesenthal is still with us, but the guy was a fucking scumbag. The fact that his name is on any building will hopefully be changed one day, especially in this fucking country. To make matters worse, when Wallace had the temerity to complain

of Wiesenthal's tactics. Wiesenthal sued him for slander, claiming that Wallace's comments were false and slanderous, and that they caused Wiesenthal to fall into discredit with those persons with whom he had contact and had been held in public contempt, hatred, and ridicule. Wiesenthal also charged that the newspaper that printed Wallace's comments had acted irresponsibly and recklessly, with a reckless disregard for the truth. The suit was eventually dismissed. Fucking scum. Canadian teacher Lubba

Feder Kew I'm going to call her Lubba from now on running for the Canadian Parliament in 1984 discovered to her utter amazement that the Benay-Breath Canada a major Jewish anti-deformation

organization had circulated an internal memo which accused her of Jew baiting. The allegation was reported in the Winnipeg's son along with the fact that she was being investigated by B'nai Brith on suspicion of anti-Semitism. The resulting defamation caused her the election and subjected her to malicious harassment. According to Luba, when the investigation was publicized, she received obscene and harassing

telephone calls, a swastika was spray-painted on her campaign office, and a number of her political supporters withdrew their support. Lubba sued B'nai Brith for libel in 1987. She claimed the defamatory statements circulated by the Jewish organization and destroyed her reputation and ruined her chances for an election victory. During her trial, the court heard that she had allegedly charged that her opponent was controlled by the Jews. The four women, two men, I mean, literally every fucking politician in Washington, every member of Congress has an APAC guy.

This wouldn't even be controversial, except you said Jews. the four women, two men, jury found that this charge against Lubah was false and that Ben Abraith had acted out of malice in circulating the unfounded charge. The jury found for Lubba and awarded her a total of 400,000 in damages on November 25, 1987. Lubas said, I feel I've been vindicated. I feel my name has been cleared in Winnipeg through the Progressive Conservative Party throughout Canada. There you go, progressive conservative party. Sounds like ours. I'd like to go on with my career as a teacher and go on with my personal life. I want to get back to my students. I missed them.

The Jewish press agonized over the decision. The Jewish posts and news editorialized that the jury awarded her award was unfair and questioned Luba's motives and filing the libel suit. She wanted money? She wanted money because she had been damaged? She wanted money because she had been damaged. She didn't just want money. The paper complained that she was negligent in not investigating her campaign staff for making allegedly anti-Semitic remarks. The paper said, instead she went on after her election loss to David Orla Kow to sue the league for human rights of B'nai Bredh, implicitly blaming it for her defeat.

If Luba wanted to dispel the uncertainty that had arisen during her campaign about her servitude towards Jews, taking court action against a Jewish service group was a strange way to do it. Yeah. There's only certain groups that are, there's only certain people that are allowed to use, you know, the courts. Equally disturbing was the sheer vindictiveness of the jury in last week's defamation. Yeah, that whole jury, six people. They should probably, they should probably be sent to Israel to be tried, right? It is possible that some of them had preconceptions about Jews, that at a subconscious level, they saw last week's as a battle for justice by a non-Jewish victim, wronged by the wealthy evil Jews characterized in anti-Semitic folklore.

There's something about folklore. B'nai Brith appealed the decision as promised, but when they saw that the original decision was receiving a sympathetic hearing from the Manitoba Court of Appeal, they dropped it and settled with Luba for an undisclosed sum. Luba said, the money was secondary, the apology was what I wanted. If B'A. Brith had apologized in the beginning, we could have avoided. a costly court case. I am happy the matter has been laid to rest, and I can get on with my life. In February 1989, after the matter was finally settled, the Canadian Jewish News editorialized

in battling the enemies of Judaism. However, some segments of the Jewish community have permitted an understandable zeal to triumph over common sense, forgetting that they must be careful to distinguish between legitimate debate and overt expressions of bigotry. So she was awarded $400,000. And this is 1987 or 1989, and it wasn't even a dent. Do you think that B'nai Brith Canada had to close down? Because of $400,000? Huh, yeah, something to think about, right? In Bay Harbor, Florida, Arthur Green had dinner at the La Belle Epoch restaurant in September

1982. Green, former vice president of Temple Israel of Greater Miami, and an active member of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation had been sitting at a nearby table and witnessed a complaint by another customer over a veal chop. He wrote owner Dennis Reddy about the incident. Ready who speaks with a heavy French accent, telephone green in response to the letter,

and a heated exchange ensued. Green claimed that Reddy called them a dirty Jew and a K-K word, and that all Jews are alike, you're all out to get something for nothing. Reddy denies this. Green then wrote a letter accusing Reddy of anti-Semitism

and threatened to put him out of business. This is shocking news. Green never sent the letter to Reddy, but posted it on bulletin boards in Jewish condominiums and circulated it to several prominent Jews. Reddy's business was soon the subject of a boycott. He was

admonished by the South Florida Hotel and Motel Association and lost his Chamber of Commerce membership. He went bankrupt within a year and moved to New Orleans. Reddy sued for libel, and in February 1986, a Miami Circuit Court jury of five women and one men awarded him $22.5 million for defamation. Green appealed the verdict, and in February 1989, the third court of appeals in Miami awarded Reddy $5.5 million. The court said that Dennis Reddy was entitled to an unprecedented compensatory and punitive damage award so as to fit the vicious arrogance of the defendant's conduct. That would never happen today. I will say that will never happen today.

The court ruling said the evidence indicated that the alleged anti-Semitic comments attributed to Dennis Reddy by Arthur Green were completely fabricated. Imagine my surprise. Often a false charge of anti-Semitism or racism is made because of values, opinions, or beliefs expressed in a public forum. In the case of Thomas Spears of Waterbury, Connecticut, however, his expression of free speech landed him in court. court, and at the behest of the very host of the radio talk show, he appeared on. Spears was arrested in January 1986 after radio show host Jay Clark, who is Jewish, filed the complaint with police. Clark accused Spears of Jew baiting because he frequently criticized Israel. Clark also admitted that he frequently made personal attacks against Spears on the air. Spiers contended that he was not

anti-Semitic and that he was merely anti-Zionist and anti-Israel. That doesn't work anymore, dude. After October 7th, nope, nope, fucking own it. In ordering the acquittal of Spear's Superior Court Judge, Anthony V. DeMaio, said, his choice of language might be unpleasant. I heard nothing that might be obscene or that could be characterized as fighting words. All of it falls into the category of political speech. What's obsessed me most about the state's position is that the reason we are prosecuting this defendant is that as views differ so vehemently from those of the talk show host.

In 1965, a fire killed 12 people at the Yonkers Jewish Community Center. 18-year-old Thomas Rupert, although innocent, was convicted of the crime. After serving five years of 24 life sentences and a sentence of 10 to 25 years for arson, Mr. Rupert was ordered, released. The New York State Court of Appeals ruled that he had been coerced into making a confession. The fire thought to be motivated by anti-Semitism produced enormous pressure on police to produce a... Who put the pressure on police? Who did that?

Illinois Congressman Paul Finley, a 22-year veteran of the U.S. House of Representatives, was defeated in his last election bid, following an intense and inflammatory campaign against him by various pro-Israel groups. They regarded Finley as highly critical of Israel's policies. Two of Finley's fellow Illinois politicians were also defeated for re-election on the same grounds, Senator Charles Pierce Percy and Adley Stevenson III. And sentenced by the power of the forces arrayed against him, Finley wrote a definitive expose of the Israeli lobby entitled They Dare to Speak Out. The book is in no way hateful or even remotely anti-Semitic. It was on bestseller. You don't get to decide that. Only they get to decide that.

It was on bestseller list for several weeks and is considered a definitive study of interest group politics. This, however, did not keep the ADL. through its Nebraska regional director, Robert Wolfson, from defaming the book and its author. A local activist had mailed out several thousand copies to Nebraska professionals, such as secondary school teachers, university professors, and attorneys.

In a statement, the ADL's Wolfson said the Finley's book is a work of Holocaust revisionism seeking to spread the claim that the Nazi slaughter of Jews was a hoax. Frederick Casman, chairman of the Omaha ADL chapter, said, criticize the Israel lobby, they are actually distributing plainly anti-Semitic material.

They dare to speak out makes absolutely no such claim. Finley does not support, nor does he even mention any form of Holocaust revision in his book. The ADL claim was an absolute lie, but certainly produced the adverse publicity against the book they sought. You mean they just flat out lied? Are you fucking kidding me? They lied? I'm shocked. Shocked.

Suffolk County District Attorney Robert Kassase found himself charged with referring to defense attorney Robert Gottlieb as a little Jew bastard in October 1990. The conversation in which he was alleged to have made the remark was with attorney, Reynolds Morrow, in a Riverside, New York restaurant. Gottlieb had been his adversary in a highly publicized murder. murder case. So great was the outcry against Casase, who was Italian, that its superior Suffolk County District Attorney James Catterson conducted a year-long investigation of the fair. The claim against Casas apparently proved to be a fabrication. According to Catterson, I find not one of many allegations concerning improper remarks or behavior to be substantiated. I am unable to substantiate one instance

of anti-Semitic comment or behavior on the part of assistant attorney, Anthony. Casas. The charge of Nazi sympathies is so devastating that it is a convenient device to defame political candidates. In 1986, a campaign flyer circulated to Costa Mesa, California residents, claimed that Doug A. Yates, a two-time city councilman, was a member of a secret underground Nazi party. The two-page typewritten flyer written on the stationary of Mesa Action, a local political action committee, attack Yates, claiming he was a member of an underground Nazi party now operating in the Western Hemisphere. That nailed, that just narrowed it down. That narrowed it.

I mean, shoot, the Western Hemisphere. Wow. The flyer advised anyone seeing Yates to contact Rabbi Stinovitz at the Jewish Defense League office in Los Angeles. JDL leader, Irv Rubin, said he had never heard of Rabbi Stinovitz. Mesa Action board members deny having anything to do with the flyer. Doug Yates, the target of the apparent defamation said, I don't know why I'm singled out for this kind of activity.

Maybe there are people who think I have a good chance of winning. Another case of bogus anti-Semitic literature occurred in Yorba Linda, California in 1990. On March 25th, residents found hundreds of flyers exhorting them to kill every Jew and stating that they were distributed by the Methodist Fellowship. Reverend Kenneth Chriswell, pastor at the local UMC, distributed a letter to the community stating that the literature was, falsely and fraudulently attributed to the Methodist Church. The Orange County Register reported,

One side of the flyer pictures Jesus Christ, quotes from the New Testament, Gospel Luke, and says, kill every Jew. The other side lists supposed reasons not to trust Jews. The literature was apparently an attempt to link a Christian denomination with hatred of Jews. A similar incident had occurred a few months earlier in Fullerton, California, where bogus publications were also placed in mailboxes and doorsteps. Oklahoma Department of Human Services Director Benjamin Dempz Jr. might have thought he was being harassed by the KKK when he saw a memo referring to him as a flying coon and pledging a continuation of the good old boy weighs in the department. Most puzzling is that the February 1990 memo was supposedly signed by a top OHS official. Investigators soon determined that the signature was taken from another document sent by the official to an outside group. The memo was taken.

is not written in the matter of bona fide OHS memos and everyone involved with it has denied knowledge of it. Affirmative action officer Kim Jones Shelton said the department did not intend to pursue investigation. Another fake memo containing a variety of racial and other epithet, epithets, made a similar stir in California. Hudson T. Carlisle Jr., a member of the Public Employment Relations Board, had asked for an investigation after the memo was sent to the state union leaders over his signature. According to Carlisle, someone is really sick

and attempting to discredit me. They Xerox my signature from another memo and pasted it on this one. The fake memo dated December 1991 was written on an official letter had to mail through a state postal meter. Carlisle is quoted as referring to his critics

in racist, sexist, anti-homosexual and anti-Jewish terms. Chapter 9. Whites. Not all hoaxers are minorities. With whites, however, the motive is usually to implicate someone else in a crime that they committed themselves, and the account seems more credible if, under the circumstances, the offender is black or some other minority. Several of the cases discovered also included

false rape accusations directed towards black anonymous males. Cases where the motive of the hoax is to falsely implicate minorities in anti-white racism are apparently rare. Benjamin Hull, a lab technician at Sunridge Foods in Sunnyside, Washington, reported that a group of Hispanic youth shot off his leg on New Year's Day in 1991 when he surprised them outside his place of employment. Hull filed disability claims and collected some 95,000 in benefits. Nearly two years later, Hull pled guilty to filing false claims and theft. He admitted that he shot himself to end pain in his leg resulting from a 1970, industrial accident. Hull was sentenced to an additional six months of work release because of aggravating circumstances in the case. According to Yakima County Superior Court Judge Susan Hahn,

the aggravating circumstance is his use of a negative social stereotype, especially here when we fight this every day. Our quality of life depends on us making significant headway on these problems. Another case in which a minority was falsely blamed in conjunction with the cover-up of a crime involved the widely publicized 1989 Boston case, in which a murder committed to collect insurance, was falsely attributed to an anonymous black man. On the evening of October 23rd, 1989, Charles Stewart and his pregnant wife, Carol,

left a childbirth class at a local hospital and were on their way home when, according to Charles Stewart, a black gunman forced his way into their automobile. The gunman forced them to drive to another location where he demanded cash and jewelry. Then the gunman shot Carol Stewart in the head and wounded Charles Stewart in the abdomen. Charles Stewart called police on a car telephone to report that his wife had been killed,

and he had been shot by a black assailant in the Mission Hill District. The gruesome scene, including a dramatic tape of rescue efforts by police and paramedics, stirred a volatile mixture of fear and outrage. As a victim, Stewart became a media hero. In the meantime, Willie Bennett, a black man was arrested after Stewart identified him as looking most like the murderer. The story began to unravel when, skillful police investigation produced evidence that pointed to Stewart as to kill her out to collect

a substantial insurance policy. Charles's brother, Matthew Stewart, went to police and confessed to being an accessory after the fact. He had helped Charles dispose of incriminating evidence. With police closing in, Charles Stewart committed suicide by jumping off a bridge into the Mystic River. Willie Bennett, of course, exonerated. Willie Bennett was, of course, exonerated. What was scary about the case is how journalists initially bought Charles Stewart's story when there was evidence to doubt it from the beginning. According to news reports, many Boston journalists can see that they were aware of rumors and inconsistencies almost from the start about the husband's account. It's important to note that the purpose of Stewart's fabrication was not to commit a hate crime hoax, but to divert

attention from himself. His designation of the killer as a black man was credible in a community with a high black crime rate. Statistically, the killer was more likely to be black than white. occasionally one member of a victimized class will perpetrate a hoax or fabrication against a member of another victimized class. The most common example is when a woman claims to have been raped by a member of a minority group. This happened at George Washington University in the District of Columbia in December 1990 when a student, Mariam Koshani, reported a rape incident which never occurred to the campus paper appropriately named the Hatchet. She told them an incident in which two young black men with particularly bad biopards, body odor, had raped a white female student at knife point, and the hatchet reported the

incident without sufficiently confirming the authenticity of the various sources. According to New York Times reporter Felicity Berenger, the effect was electric. Students called their parents, university administrators called trustees, the campus police called the district the Columbia police. Then the day after the newspaper report, a lawyer from Merriam Kashani, the sophomore who said she knew the victim and was the newspaper's main. source of information about the attack called the campus police to say she made up the report. Ms. Kashani, an active feminist, who had been involved in rape crisis counseling at Tulane University,

had also said the rapist had told the victim, you are pretty good for a white girl. When confronted about the incident, Ms. Kashani used an excuse often involved in invoked in hoaxes. She said that she had hoped the story, as reported, would highlight the problem of safety for women. Ronnie Thaxton, campus black activist, said, I was outraged. I think it was just another attempt by some white people to discredit young black males in this country. In December 1993, a 15-year-old Norwood, Massachusetts white girl falsely claimed that she had been attacked by four black women who shouted racial slurs at her, according to news reports. Norwood police detective Sergeant William G. Brooks said the girl who reported being attacked

December 23 by four strangers was actually injured in a pre-arranged fight with another young woman. Brooke said that when the victim's the state cuts and scratches, she invented the story about being jumped to explain the injuries to her parents. Police charged a girl as juvenile with falsely reporting a crime, a misdemeanor that carries a fine of up to $500 or one year in jail. In Hazel Park, Michigan, a 31-year-old white woman told police that three bat-wielding black men beat her and kidnapped her friend last November at an automatic teller machine in Ferndale. According to police, the whole thing was a hoaxe of a vogue. by the woman who was married, concocted after her boyfriend beat her up. In October 1989, two white women from Sterling Heights

falsely reported that two black males robbed and beat them in the Oakland Mall parking lot. The woman said that the man fired a shot into their car. Police investigators said the women, both 18, were indeed robbed, but police said the assault occurred as the women were trying to buy marijuana in a Detroit alley. police said the women made up the story to explain the damage to the car. But things are, when you're looking at like incidents where you have a group that does the overwhelming amount of crime, especially violent crime, you have to make shit up.

Don't. Don't do that. Just let it go. Let it, let the facts cover everything. Chapter 10. International. Sometimes racist and anti-Semitic hoaxes involved parties. We would never think of. Hoaxes have been a common device used by Iron Curtain intelligence services and communist organizations to discredit their enemies and win support from racial, ethnic, and even religious interest groups since before the Russian Revolution. Oh! During the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, in 1984, a number of Asian and African Olympic Committee offices found themselves recipients of racist literature. The Zimbabwe Committee, for example, received flyers containing some threatening language and illustrated with a drawing of a white-hitted clansman on a rearing horse and a monkey with a rope tied around his neck. Other delegations received similar literature.

An investigation followed in the culprit was determined in short order. U.S. Attorney General William French Smith confirmed that the racially defamatory material was not the work of the Ku Klux Klan, but rather the Soviet KGB. The effort was part of a disinformation campaign to mislead public opinion and create the impression of widespread racism. According to Smith, although I can't detail all of what we know about these documents for fear of helping the authors to refine their techniques, a thorough analysis, including linguistic and forensic techniques,

reveals that they are classic examples of a Soviet forgery or disinformation operation. Inform sources close to the FBI report that other incidents may also be KGB-related. It's rather interesting, considering, if I remember correctly, the Soviets didn't show up to the L.A. Olympics. Because the United States boycotted the 1980 Olympics, which I believe were in Moscow. I think that's how that worked. Another case involving the KGB surfaced recently with the defection of East German intelligence agents. The West German newspaper Velt reported in 1990 that West German security authorities had determined that the KGB or other Soviet state security services were responsible for numerous desecrations of synagogues in West Germany over the past 40 years. The article also noted that the KGB worked in close cooperation with neo-Nazi groups.

I'm thinking of one that people call. You know, oh, okay. John Barron in his book KGB, Secret Work of Soviet Secret Agents, discussed his communist complicity and anti-Semitic hoaxes. He says, under KGB guidance to Czech STB, started mailing virulent anti-Semitic tracks to French, British, and American officials in Europe. They bore the impromptor imprimatur of non-Semitism. existent Nazi group.

Let's also remember that at this time that he's writing this, the Soviet Union had just fell. This could all still be, I'm not saying that this didn't happen. This sounds like stuff that could have happened, but we're also there's a

back and forth going on of propaganda. Additional evidence for the role of the KGB and other Iron Curtain Intelligence agencies and bogus neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic activities is Christopher Andrew and Oleg Gordievsky's detailed 1990 account of the Soviet secret police KGB, The Inside Story. The author cite the case of KGB General Ivan Ivanovich, Agayans, who in 1959 created a new disinformation section within the first chief directorate of the KGB. One of his first targets was

West Germany, which the KGB wanted to portray as riddled with neo-Nazis and anti-Semites. To test one of his techniques, Agaianz sent a group of KGB officers to a village near Moscow, where they dab swastikers, anti-Jewish slogans, and kicked over Jewish tombstones. A small anti-Jewish minority in the village took the bait and performed copycat anti-Jewish acts on their own. According to the authors, during the winter of 1959 to 60, Aga Yance used the same technique with great success in West Germany. East German agents were disdivis. dispatched to the West to deface Jewish memorials, synagogues, and shops, and to paint anti-Semitic

slogans. Local hooligans and neo-Nazis then spontaneously continued the KGB campaign. Between Christmas Eve, 1959, and mid-February 1960, 833 anti-Semitic acts were recorded by the West German authorities. The campaign then suddenly ceased, but not before the Federal Republic's international reputation had been gravely damaged. There are serious suspicion in intelligence circles that much of the current neo-Nazi activity in the new United Germany may have the mark of a rogue communist intelligence operation. See what happens when communism falls? The Nazis return. I think this points a lot towards what Thomas has been talking about in a few of our series. Yeah, these, you know, East Germany and the Soviet Union were very, very.

anti-Zionist. We're very anti. They saw West Germany as an occupation, a Zionist occupation regime.

And, you know, what is it? 50, 60 years later. Pretty much the whole West. Lendoslav Biedmann, an agent for the Czechoslovak intelligence agency, defectors of the United States in 1974.

All right. I'm going to read this, but I will warn you. Don't trust anything defectors say. The first thing they do is go to the State Department, and they immediately are basically told what they're allowed to say. They get their stories. A lot of people like to talk about Yuri Besmanoff.

Notice that none, none of these none of these people who come defected talk about a certain group ever I interviewed a defector once someone who defected from the Soviet Union to the United States it was tedious and I wasn't asking hard questions now a professor of Boston University

and living under the name Lawrence Martin Bitman he teaches classes on propaganda and disinformation According to F. Mark Wyatt, a retired CIA official who has dealt with defectors, Bittman was really one of the great experts of the communist bloc, the Soviet bloc on disinformation. Bitman's reputation was built largely on one of the most effective disinformation campaigns of post-war Europe, i.e. keeping the Nazi menace alive for propaganda purposes, not unlike some hoaxes in the United States. According to news reports, his greatest success was Operation Neptune, a 1964 ruse intended to damage West Germany's relationship with his European neighbors. Professor Martin Bittman secretly placed what he said were four boxes

of Nazi archives on the murky bottom of a lake in Czechoslovakia. Then he helped the television crew discover the boxes which contained lists of purported Nazi spies and collaborators. A documentary about the apparent discovery of a cadre of previously undisclosed Nazi spies raised anew the issue of prosecutions for war crimes and the West German government extended the statute of limitations for such crimes. fake documents published by Eastern Bloc Intelligence Agency surfaced in the scandal involving Austrian president and former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim.

He was accused of war crime complicitly during World War II. In February 1988, the Yugoslav Press agency reported that a document linking Waldheim to Nazi war crimes was a fake. According to news reports, the document was purported to be a 1942 telegram advising that a lieutenant, Kurt Waldheim, requested the deportation of more than 4,000 Yugoslav citizens during World War II. The West German magazine Der Spiegel published a document February 1st

and said it had been provided by a Yugoslav historian. A typewriting expert had concluded that the machine used to type the fake telegram was not available before 1948. What I said. A year earlier in April, 1987, the Israeli Jerusalem Post admitted that it had published a forged letter purportedly from Austrian Prime Minister Alouis Mock to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, suggesting that Austrian President Kurt Waldheim should resign in the wake of a scandal involving his alleged wartime activities

in the German army. Mr. Mock denied ever writing a letter. The Post said a lengthy inquiry had determined that the letter, which had published in February, was a fabrication. The Anti-Nazi League is a major British anti-fascist group. It works closely with Jewish and other minority interest groups. However, to the consternation of representatives of the Brighton and Hove Hebrew congregation in March 1993, the ANL organized a march in protest against an anti-Semitic cemetery desecration that never occurred. Some 300 people took part in the march. A security officer at the cemetery became suspicious when he was told that the graves in the congregations Florence Road Cemetery, had been dobed with swastikers and that they had been removed by the gardener.

The cemetery, however, does not employ a gardener. The officer noted that the cemetery has no record of dobbings for at least 30 years. The incident, in fact, had never occurred. Jules Crosette, the Dutch actor whose father was Jewish, reported being abducted by neo-Nazis in the city of Charleroi, Belgium, in December in 1987. just did a substack about Charleroy, Pennsylvania, which was originally a Belgian city.

Imagine that. According to Corse, he was seized by two men and a woman who forced him into a sewer, tied him up, took his star of David Chain from his neck, and dobs a swastika on his chest, among other violent humiliations. The news electrified the Netherlands. Cossette was known for his anti-Nazi views.

He was prominent in a theater sit-in preventing states, of a play that critics had denounced as anti-Semitic. On December 12th, a large demonstration was held in an Amsterdam church in support of Crosette. The Speaker of the Dutch Parliament said the neo-Nazi rats were coming out of their holes. On the 6th of January 1988, however, Belgian police announced that Jules Cresset had admitted to having staged a kidnapping. He had also sent anti-semitic letters to prominent Dutch Jews. What you doing there, Rabbi? Also in the Netherlands, the capital, of Amsterdam was fooled for five days in February 1993 into thinking that violent neo-Nazis were active in the community. A monument of victims of the Auschwitz concentration camp had been

smashed, one of the worst recent acts of anti-Semitic violence in the small nation. However, according to news reports, the nation seemed placated after hearing that a glass cutter identified as Rood S had confessed to shattering the monument. He claimed he was under orders to remove all evidence of a construction flaw that would have been a terrific embarrassment to the company. In Haifa Israel, two Jewish men, David Goldner, 41, and Gershont Tenenbaum, 32, were arrested in May 1990 following the desecration of two Jewish graveyards, an event which received worldwide attention. Slogans in perfect Hebrew calling for the destruction of Judaism and for the founding of a Palestinian state were found out more than 250 headstones. One inscription read,

Arabs will kill the Jews. Israeli religious affairs minister Zevalon Hammer said that there may have been a connection with this incident in the desecration of Jewish graves in France, which were widely Brahimna and white right-wing hate groups. Goldman and Tenenbaum reported that their motive was to unite the Jewish people against the Arab states. In Israel, eight Jewish settlers were charged in the September 1989 firebombing of Israeli property and stoning of other Jewish citizens. settlers to stir up anti-Arab settlement. Jewish settlers are fucking nuts. In one instant, Israeli radio said,

settlers hold a fire bomb at an Israeli-owned car near Gino Shomron somewhere, a settlement in the West Bank. In response, settlers from the Jewish enclave of Ariel raided a nearby Arab village and vandalized property. Ariel had earlier acquired Arab workers to wear tags identifying themselves as alien workers. Had to wear them, huh? On their shirt? There have been numerous instances of Israeli extremist staging hoaxes to implicate Arabs in terrorism.

A black swastika was painted on the grave of former Israeli Prime Minister Manachem Begin in Jerusalem in November 1992. after the vandalism, Israeli newspapers in the state-run radio received phone calls from men who said the attack was in response to the desecration of the graves of the righteous. Police said the vandalism seemed to be the work of fanatic religious Jews. The British Daily, the Guardian, reported in April 1992 that a Berlin woman who reported her infant son had been kidnapped by neo-Nazi skidheads later admitted she killed the baby. Police reported. The body, the three-month-old, was boy. found in a pool pond in Berlin a group of neo-Nazi raiders set fire to the home of a jewish restaurant owner in august nine and squalled swastikas and anti-semitic slogans on the walls jreraos jews get out

the attack in berlin's elegant grunewald residential district fanned fears of a nazi revival and was widely reported as evidence for such following an investigation however the police determined that the incident was an arson plot to collect insurance on the building the businessman Gunter Allen, whose house was burned, was in on the plot. One of the hired arsonists was badly burned when the gasoline blew up in his face. In Hala, Germany, 10,000 people demonstrated in January 1994 to protest a neo-Nazi attack on a teenage girl confined to a wheelchair. The 17-year-old girl had told police the three neo-Nazis had carved a swastika on her left cheek after she refused to repeat slogans such as Heil Hitler and gasped the cripples.

For five days, the incident in the eastern German city captured headlines around the world. Police reported that they had no clues. Two days later, it became apparent why there were no clues. The Saxony-unholt prosecutor's office reported the girl had apparently inflicted the wound herself. Interrogation had produced discrepancies and inconsistencies in her story. The fake attack was unpleasant consequences for, bona fide and suspected neo-Nazis. However, as is so often in the case, as is so often in the case. According to news reports, where did the attack stun Germans? Leading politicians demanded

quick police action, and President Richard von Vysecker condemned the assault. Hundreds tried to track down the alleged attackers and authorities searched a homed of dozens of suspected neo-Nazis. An item in the January 15, 1994 International Herald Tribune noted that the doctors who examine the wound also suspect that it was self-inflicted. The article also noted that several recent attacks by neo-Nazis have been exposed as fraud. Two weeks after the hoax in Hale, another German girl committed a copycat hoax in Munich. According to news reports, a 14-year-old Bavarian schoolgirl sliced herself with a razor and claimed she had been attacked by neo-Nazis and what appears. to be an imitation of the wheelchair-bound girl's hoax that caused national outrage. Munich police said, Munich police said, a spokesman said 20 school children had dared each other

to fake attacks to see whether their parents would believe them after hearing about a case in the eastern city of Hala. Switzerland's Jewish community was shocked when a 1983 rash of anti-Semitic graffiti appeared on walls at local synagogues, the Jewish cemetery, and other buildings. Death threats and anonymous telephone calls to Jewish parents stated that your son has been killed. At the medical school in Basel, Jewish students reported receiving an anonymous letters saying death to the Jews and no more Jewish doctors in Switzerland. Swiss police soon had their culprit, but he was not a neo-Nazi. He was not the neo-Nazi many had expected. According to news reports, a 23-year-old Jewish medical student arrested in Basel was described by police

as the perpetrator of the campaign of virulent anti-Semitic graffiti harassment and death threats in that city last month. The disclosure by police that Philip Gatchell, son of a prominent Jewish family, was solely responsible for the acts called unprecedented in Switzerland, stunned Jews and non-Jews alike. The anti-Semitic campaign aroused such concern that Swiss Army units were sent to help local police protect Jewish students. Apparently obsessed with persecution fantasies, I wonder where he got those from. Gatchell claimed that right-wing students had broken into his family's home. Police said that it was Gatchel himself that broke the window.

Gatchel was placed under psychiatric care. That's it. I mean, that's basically it. There's one more section here. I'm going to read. And yeah. So he added this on at the end, and I think this is pretty cool. Traits that suggest commission of a hoax. What, if anything, distinguishes hoaxes and fabrications from real racist and anti-Semitism. incidents. Are there patterns to be on the watch for? What are the clues that a hoax might be afoot? Consider these. One, an incident that can't be corroborated with reasonable evidence or disinterested witnesses or is accompanied by an account which contains inconsistencies or when the alleged victim suddenly refuses to talk to police. Two, an incident that occurs just when it's needed

to promote awareness or sensitivity to racism or anti-Semitism to disarm critics and make them reluctant to talk back. The conveniently occurring incident should be carefully investigated. Often the perpetrator will confide in others or even brag about the hoax. Extensive questioning may be necessary. Repeat incidents, especially with difficult, resentful, and easily offended individuals who frequently complain of disrespect, slights, insults, or harassment. I wonder who he could be talking about. Incidents directed at specific individuals are unusual. Barron mind, however, that these individuals often create a self-fulfilling prophecy with their behavior and actually antagonize others to the point where they will retaliate in some manner. Very important.

Four, an incident that is particularly skillfully exploited by the alleged victim to attain victim status, to manipulate institutions, to obtain concessions from others, to obtain special privileges, or to obtain money. Because of the possibility of civil damages and hate crime cases, it is likely that hoaxes of this nature will be increasing, don't they always? Incidents which occur in improbable circumstances, such as racist graffiti in a mostly black dormitory or neighborhood, assaults that allegedly occurred in normally crowded areas with no witnesses, graffiti or vandalism in a room occupied only by the victim and so on. Some hoaxes are surprisingly poorly planned.

In the case of graffiti, carefully drawn symbols or slurs suggest that the author really wants to get a point across. precisely what is meant in the repulsive character of the person behind it, and this suggests a hoax. Most bona fide incidents represent impulsive, striking out, not carefully planned, generally speaking, the more elaborate the circumstances to greater likelihood of a hoax. Another trait that suggests a hoax surfaced in several of the cases mentioned here, where authorities suspect a hoax and this fact becomes known, the likelihood is enhanced somewhat when local anti-racist and radical special interests, groups defame and vilify doubters. In fact, they may suspect it themselves. Finally, several hoaxers

have reported markings or symbols painted on their bodies by their alleged assailants. This rarely occurs in bona fide cases. For reasons that are not clear, body markings on the victim by the alleged perpetrators are apparently a cause for suspicion. And nine, copycat hoaxes are likely to occur after an earlier, perhaps bona fide incident has taken place that has aroused great publicity. Often some of the same people will be involved in the same symbols used. A large number of similar incidents probably contains some hoaxes. His conclusion. The information I have pulled together in this report is, in my opinion, merely the tip of the iceberg.

The hoaxes I have recounted are, with a few exceptions, publicly discovered and publicly reported hoaxes. countless more hoaxes, undiscovered and unreported, have undoubtedly also occurred. I see no hard evidence of an organized conspiracy to commit racial and anti-Semitic hoaxes. Everything points to individuals or small groups of individuals as to perpetrators of the hoaxes. The usefulness of hoaxes is sufficiently obvious to potential hoaxers that a conspiracy is not required to explain the large number of hoaxes or the similarity of some hoaxes. Why do people commit hoaxes? Three main reasons.

first has to do with the personal payoff for victimization, i.e. attention, sympathy, a sense of importance, feeding persecution fantasies, and material payoffs. The second has to do with advancing a political or social agenda, as in the case of hoaxes intended to create support for regulations or legislation, or to help create a climate sympathetic to specific interest groups. The third has to do with insurance fraud, with the racial and anti-Semitic element almost an afterthought. Most hoaxes are combinations of the first two types. Carefully done, the risk of discovery of a hoax is minimal. Most hoaxes simply remain unsolved hate crimes.

Those that are discovered may not result in criminal action against the hoaxers. When criminal charges are filed, they can have wide range of consequences, from long prison terms in some cases to a slap on the wrist and others, with most cases tending toward the latter. What can be done about hoaxes? Probably very little as long as victimization claims are so uncritically accepted, and the payoff for alleged victimization is sufficiently tempting and rewarding. Hate crime legislation, although well-intentioned has... I got to remember he's the leftist. Hate crime legislation, although well-intention, has created a powerful market for the side benefit of alleged hate crimes.

When these crimes are not naturally occurring or are not occurring in sufficient numbers, a motive to commit hoaxes is created. provisions in hate crime legislation for civil damages also creates a powerful motive to commit hoaxes. Vigilance in discovering hoaxes and apparent and appropriate publicity may discourage some potential hoaxers. Punishment for hoaxers equal to bona fide hate crimes, including sentence enhancement, would probably have a greater deterrent effect, but would also perpetrate the injustices inherent in the hate crime concept itself. Probably the most effective thing would be for universities, police agencies, and the media to entertain a healthy skepticism about hate crimes, and to establish a category of not proven in cases where no perpetrator is identified or charged.

Any unsolved case may be a hoax, including those intuitively thought to be bona fide. Finally, on a personal note, I think it's important to bear in mind that human beings are fallible creatures who make mistakes, often not realizing the consequences of their actions, the older I get, the more forgiving I become, and the more aware I am of the harm done by righteous indignation, fanaticism, and vengefulness in the pursuit of justice. Sorry, buddy. That's human. A little slack and a little forgiveness all the way around wouldn't hurt either.

It's going to take that if we're all going to get along in this world. Well, Laird, we're not. That's been proven. appreciate you but appreciate this work but it's been proven so he's also got if you get this there's some uh he provides a bunch of uh well not a bunch but a couple correspondences with uh ADL um letter from Jared Ger Hoover we'll like the ADL report. Yeah.

But that's it. Another book in the books. And we'll see what we're going to do next. Somebody gave me an idea. It would be a project. But we'll see what happens. It depends on somebody else. So we'll see.
