APOLOGY FOR LATE ISSUES:
FASCIST COMPLAINTS SHUT DOWN OUR INTERNET SERVICE
Please accept our apologies for these late issues.
We temporarily lost our internet account in the face of an ongoing fascist
campaign to have people launch complaints against their opponents.
RoadRunner security chose to kill our account after receiving a complaint.
We have yet to receive their letter listing their reasons and authority for
such an action. The account was given a special flag by the head of
RoadRunner security. Nobody else at RoadRunner was authorized to handle the
dispute and the head of security was out of town for a week.
We will inform you about the details as they come in.
Meanwhile, following our established policy of never letting the fascists
succeed at anything, we will publish all normal issues, however delayed
they may be.
Moreover, we believe it is important to hit the fascists harder than they
tried to hit us. Normal issues of the newsletter run about 32 Kb. Our
reduced summer schedule had issues around half that. But we intend to
publish double-length issues whenever the fascists tried to prevent
publication.

OBITUARIES:
Neuman Britton, heir apparent to the bankrupt Aryan Nations
AP
20 Aug 01
SAN DIEGO -- Neuman Britton, the pastor of a small white supremacist
congregation and the heir apparent to the bankrupt Aryan Nations
organization, died Saturday of cancer. He was 75.
The longtime white supremacist leader and former member of the American
Nazi Party was known to be suffering from melanoma for several years,
though he had continued to hold small gatherings and church services at
his family's six-acre, hillside compound in Escondido.
Aryan Nations leader Richard Butler named Britton as his successor in 1998,
but because of his illness Britton did not take over the organization.
The Aryan Nations was forced into bankruptcy last year when it lost a $6.3
million civil rights lawsuit filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center on
behalf of two people who were assaulted by security guards at the group's
headquarters near Hayden Lake, Idaho.

Aryan Nations Successor Neuman Britton Dead
via Vinland Records
19 Aug 01
Pastor Neuman Britton, national chaplain for the Church of Jesus Christ
Christian / Aryan Nations passed away Saturday August 18, at 6:30am. He
died peacefully in San Diego, California surrounded by his children and
grandchildren.
Pastor Britton Pastor was named successor of Church of Jesus Christ
Christian / Aryan Nations in 1998 by Pastor Richard Butler.
Pastor Britton also held monthly Christian Identity services in Escondido,
California and was known for his fiery sermons.
Pastor Britton was not just a preacher but took the Christian Identity
message across the country and served his time in the streets during
several race riots. He and his brother Ruffus along with J.B. Stoner's
National States Rights Party, struck terror in the hearts of
integrationists during the sixties. On the night of June 25, 1964, Pastor
Britton along with Connie Lynch, engineered the famous St. Augustine,
Florida counterattack against Martin Luther King Jr. as he rallied for
blacks to come to the newly integrated beaches. Both Britton and Lynch
lead thousands of Klansmen and other Whites and drove Martin Luther King
Jr. and the blacks off the beaches out of St. Augustine. After the riot,
Connie Lynch stated, "We spoke for white people. The white people rallied
behind it and we kicked the living hell out of the niggers, sent the out-
of-town niggers back to their home towns where they ought to have been, and
the niggers of St. Augustine got quiet and went back over to niggertown
where they belong." Their crusades could fill a book.
We are in the process of organizing a memorial service for Pastor
Britton. As of right now we desperately need financial help in organizing
a fitting memorial service for this fallen hero.

293 Drug Arrests in Calif. Probe
AP
21 Aug 01
LANCASTER, Calif. -- Drug enforcement agents concluded an 18-month
investigation Tuesday by arresting nearly 300 people and seizing more than
$2 million worth of methamphetamines.
More than 200 agents raided two dozen buildings throughout northeast Los
Angeles County, authorities said.
The investigation targeted mainly methamphetamine traffickers, Los Angeles
County Deputy Margarita Velazquez said.
Many of the 293 people arrested were associated with "organizations
practicing white supremacist ideologies," Velazquez said.
During the investigation, agents closed 16 methamphetamine labs, seized
more than $500,000 in cash and hundreds of firearms, including automatic
weapons and explosives, officials said.
A routine drug arrest 18 months ago triggered the investigation.

White Supremacist Fliers Found in Mass.
AP
19 Aug 01
SHARON, Mass. -- Hundreds of packets of racist and anti-Semitic pamphlets
and fliers were dropped on lawns across this predominantly Jewish Boston
suburb.
The white supremacist leaflets, found Saturday, were signed by a West
Virginia-based group called the National Alliance.
As Daniel Spira walked to synagogue Saturday morning, he picked the packets
up from lawns and shook his head at ``the cowards who dropped them in the
middle of the night.''
The pamphleteers' only violation was littering, but police ``still want to
find out who did this,'' police Lt. J.J. McGrath told the Boston Sunday
Globe.
Rob Leikind, director of the Anti-Defamation League of New England, called
the contents of the leaflets ``classic Nazi hate theories.'' Included were
pamphlets by William L. Pierce, the National Alliance leader whose book
``The Turner Diaries'' is believed to have inspired Oklahoma bomber Timothy
McVeigh (news - web sites).
There was no answer on Sunday at a telephone listing for a Massachusetts
chapter of the National Alliance

Southeast Missouri man pleads guilty to federal racial intimidation charge
AP
21 Aug 01
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- A southeast Missouri man was sentenced to one year
and four months in prison Tuesday for burning an eight-foot cross in the
yard of black family last year.
Justin Scapino, 23, of Sikeston pleaded guilty to a federal charge of
racial intimidation in May. He could have faced up to 10 years in prison.
Sikeston resident George Austin, who lives with his mother and sister, saw
the cross burning on his lawn at approximately 1 a.m. Nov. 3, prosecutors
said. Austin and his sister ran from the home to a pay phone and called
police.
An investigation led authorities to the Sikeston home of Thomas Lehmann,
who was 17 at the time. During a search, police found a complete Ku Klux
Klan outfit, as well as gasoline, hammers, nails and wood similar to that
used to construct the cross, authorities said.
Police said Lehmann told them burning the cross had to do with white power,
the KKK and "getting the black people out of here." He also told police of
Scapino's involvement.
Scapino admitted that he had provided Lehmann with the nails to build the
cross, blocks to hold it while it burned, and matches with which to light
it.
"The burning of a cross in the yard of an African-American family is a
universally recognized symbol of racial intolerance," U.S. Attorney Raymond
Gruender said. "Such acts are designed solely to intimidate and incite
terror and have no place in our society."
Lehmann pleaded guilty to felony state charges of knowingly burning in
March. He will be sentenced Thursday. Federal authorities said they
deferred to the state charges because Lehmann would have been tried as a
juvenile in federal court.

White House 'Advocacy' Report Calls for End to Barriers of Faith-Based
Program Hand Outs: Religion-Based Providers Already Receiving Billions
In Tax Funds!
AA News
17 Aug 01
A White Survey released yesterday faulted government agencies for not
making more funds available to religious groups wishing to operate
faith-based programs, and called for an end to "barriers" to the use of
public money to subsidize religious community service outreaches.
"The system has been hostile to faith-based and community-based groups when
it ought to have been neutral," said John Bridgeland of the White House
Domestic Policy Council.
The document, "Unlevel Playing Field," was unveiled Thursday at a
joint media conference hosted by the White House and the Washington, D.C.-
based Brookings Institution. It examined the efforts of five
agencies, including the Departments of Justices, Health and Human
Services, Education, Labor and Housing and Urban Development to
implement new strategies and efforts to reach out to faith-based
social service groups. The report comes as President Bush again tries to
energize his flagging initiative to divert more public money into the
coffers of houses of worship for their charitable activities.
While calling for greater acceptance of religious groups in the social
service mix, though, the report could turn out to be a bombshell in
the debate over public funding of faith-based programs. On one hand, it
encouraged more efforts to fund religious groups, but confirmed
charges made by critics that the government has no clear fix on the
amount of money already subsidizing houses or worship, or even if
these programs work. Incredibly, the White House survey found that in most
government departments, despite the availability for grants there was a
serious lack of performance measures, or information about
program design or grantee accountability.
"This report confirms what we've been saying all along," said Ellen
Johnson, President of American Atheists. "Bush wants to raid the
public treasury in order to fund churches, but the government doesn't even
have standards or monitoring programs in place to determine how and where
money is being spent, or whether it produces effective
results."
Johnson added, "Even this report suggests that we take the President's
faith-based initiative 'on faith'!"
The document cited a number of "barriers" which the White House Office of
Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and the Bush administration say need
to be removed in order to encourage wider funding
availability for religious groups. The first was "A Pervasive
Suspicion About Faith-based Organizations," although the report
praised "Recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions (which) have shifted
markedly over the past few decades toward a neutrality framework that
honors evenhandedness and pluralism, allowing the Government to treat all
potential providers equally without singling out some as being
'too religious' for Government support."
"But," the survey continues, "Federal officials, and state and local
officials participating in Federal formula grant programs, often seem stuck
in a 'no-aid,' strict separationist framework..."
Another "barrier" involved exclusion of religious groups from
obtaining funds to operate residences for the elderly and those with
disabilities. Current HUD rules do not permit "religious
organizations or ones that have religious purposes" to own housing
complexes, although they may "sponsor" and initiate" projects. In
practice, religious groups simply establish separate non-profit
corporations for such ventures. The document criticized standards
which prohibited involvement by houses of worship in projects that
were "pervasively sectarian" or "too religious."
Other impediments to "neutral" tax funding of faith-based enterprises
included "Excessive Restrictions," "Inappropriate Expansion of
Religious Restrictions to New Programs," and "Denial of Faith-Based
Organizations' Established Right to Take Religion Into Account in
Employment Decisions." The latter has been a touchy issue for the
Bush administration, especially after recent exposes of a covert
influence-peddling scheme by the Salvation Army to extract White House
guarantees that faith groups could accept government money, and still
discriminate in employment standards. The fact that the White House paper
mentions this as a "barrier" could jeopardize efforts to pass
compromise legislation now being crafted by Sen. Joseph Lieberman
that would expand funding for faith-based programs, but compel
churches to obey local and state civil rights protections.
"Unlevel Playing Field" relies heavily on the so-called "charitable
choice" provision of the 1996 welfare reform act, which for the first time
invited religious groups to compete with secular counterparts for
government funds in order to operate social service programs without
compromising their "religious character." It describes "charitable
choice" as a legal instrument which "replaces government suspicion of
religious providers with a welcoming environment by giving a 'green
light' to expanded collaboration with Government and making such
partnerships plausible and possible..." In addition, "It helps
current religiously affiliated providers to better fulfill their
service mission by permitting established groups ... to get rid of
the excessive Government-imposed limits that have wrongly hobbled
services offered by religious groups and thus kept them from better
integrating a moral dimension into their programs..."
Other "barrier" are identified, including "The Heavy Weight of
Regulations and Other Requirements," and "Requirements to Meet Before
Applying for Support." The latter tasks a Department of Labor
requirement that grantees "have an extensive financial and
administrative management system." In other words, the White House
objects to the need for prospective grantees to have in place a system of
fiscal accountability before receiving government funds.
Money? What Money? Where's 'da Money?
A last-minute amendment inserted into H.R. 7 ("Community Solutions
Act), the measure passed by the House of Representatives which is
considered a key component in funding the Bush faith-based agenda
would permit cabinet-level federal department heads to open $47
billion in public funds to solicitation by faith-based groups. The
White House report, though, admits that even with the "limited"
current funding for religious organizations, no one has any idea of
how much money is being disbursed, to whom it is going, and whether
the results of such funding justify continued subsidies.
* The report rhetorically asks: "What proportion of Federal funding
goes to the faith-and community-based organizations that play such key
roles in the lives of suffering people and in neighborhoods all across the
nation? It is impossible to know the exact percentages across
Federal programs, but we have some indication of the share that such
organizations receive of some Federal programs..."
* "To complicate matters, there are no standard Federal definitions of
faith-based and community-based organizations, and the databases on
discretionary grants do not provide any such identifiers..."
In terms of fiscal accountability and performance, "Unlevel Playing
Field" is equally ignorant. It notes that despite the 1993 Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) which requires departments to be
more "results oriented" and assess the effectiveness of programs:
"The Federal Government has made scant progress in showcasing program
performance and managing for results... Indeed, a recent GAO report
examining GPRA compliance showed that, in the 28 Federal agencies
surveyed, only in 7 did a majority of managers say they used
performance information in setting program priorities, adopting new
approaches, allocating resources, coordinating program efforts, or
setting job expectations for employees..."
The report even admits that a General Accounting Office survey "shows that
results-based management under GPRA has actually decreased in
recent years."
Ignoring the constitutional or political problems of the faith-based
initiative, the issue of "results" has raised concerns from social
researchers who question the claims of many service providers that a
religion-oriented regimen is a successful one. "We've created an
office (of faith-based initiatives) out of anecdotes," said University of
Pennsylvania criminologist Byron R. Johnson in a recent New York Times
interview. While in the past he has argued for a greater role by religious
groups in the social welfare mix, Johnson admits that
"there is little reliable research proving the effectiveness of
religious programs."
Other researchers, noted the Times, "add that there is scant evidence
showing which religious programs show the best results and how they
stack up against secular programs."
Faith-Funders Praying For Senate Approval --
Or, The Bully Presidency
For White House strategists, the new report is yet another effort to build
momentum behind a faith-based funding initiative which even supporters say
faces significant legal and political obstacles. Compromise
legislation, such as requiring religious groups which accept public
funding to obey anti-discrimination statutes, may woo wavering
Democrats, but could undermine many of Bush's religious right
supporters.
Any faith-based enabling legislation is sure to encounter legal
challenge in the courts. In Texas, where as governor Mr. Bush
encouraged the inclusion of religious groups in the welfare services
sector, one jobs training program which included Bible study and other
religious activities is already the object of a law suit.
Ironically, faith-based subsidies may fail on Capitol Hill only to
find President Bush using Executive Orders -- a unilateral decree
process which during the Clinton era was widely attacked by
Republicans as dictatorial -- to make the program a reality.
Brookings Institution scholar Jonathan Rauch told the Washington post that
Bush could resort to an Executive Order "if the legislation is
killed or watered down." The President used two EO's in creating his White
House Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives, and in
ordering federal agencies to create faith-based liaison sections.
One administration official signaled, "For all the people who
predicted this initiative was dead, it's just getting started. This is a
four-year or, if we're lucky enough, eight-year initiative."
