As a consequence, students arrive at universities with such a weak grasp of the facts of the past that it is quite easy to convince them of just about anything. This weeks lesson provides you with examples of one of the most eggregious examples of politically motivated rewriting of history at the College level - "Afrocentrism". The dividing line between propaganda and serious inquiry has blurred. At the conclusion of lesson 4 we asked whether it was wise for liberals to weaken and propagandize the history curriculum. After all, there are alternative sources that would be happy to interpret the meaning of Western Civilization to curious European-Americans without the intervention of liberal integrationist professors. As you review the readings below, you should ask whether integration and assimilation are realistically possible when a group becomes so alienated from the majority that it manufactures a vision of the past regarded by the majority as fanciful. Can this be an optimistic sign for the future? YGGDRASIL recommends that you read the following: April 7, 1993 WSJ p A14 Afrocentrists Wage War on Ancient Greeks By MARY LEFKOWITZ Recently I heard a lecture at Wellesley College that, not so long ago, would have seemed strangely out of place in an academic setting. As if there were no question about the accuracy of his information, the speaker, Yosef A. A. ben-Jochannan, assured his young audience that Greek civilization dates from only 1000 B.C. (In fact, Greek speaking peoples occupied the Greek mainland for at least half a millennium before that.) He went on to suggest that Socrates was a figment of Plato's imagination. (In fact, the great philosopher is mentioned by several other contemporary writers, such as the comic poet Aristophanes and the historian Xenophon.) As for Plato himself, Mr. ben-Jochannan claimed that the philosopher had studied for 11 years in Egypt. (It is very unlikely that he even went there.) He said that Plato learned >from Egyptian sages in Masonic Grand Lodges an Egyptian "mystery" system. (In reality, there was no such system, and a literature about Greco-Egyptian philosophy did not come into existence until 500 years after Plato's death.) Then, as if to drive home the message of the treachery and inferiority of the ancient Greeks, he asserted that Aristotle sacked the Library of Alexandria and stole his philosophy from the Egyptians. In fact. the library was not built until after Aristotle's death and there is no evidence that Aristotle ever went to Egypt, much less stole his philosophy from there. When a colleague and I asked Mr. ben-Jochannan to identify the ancient sources on which he based his assertions, he declined to answer. When we pointed out one or two errors of fact, he accused us of arrogance and insolence. One student apologized to the speaker for our rudeness, and walked out. After the lecture other students surrounded us, saying: "You think you know the truth, but HE is telling the truth. What you learned is wrong." Despite appearances, this was no political rally, or at least it wasn't billed as such. It was the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Lecture in the Wellesley College Chapel, located on a campus that has until now prided itself on reasoned discourse and behavior. The speaker had been introduced by our college president as an "eminent Egyptologist and historian." One could just laugh and forget about it, if occasions like this were exceptional. But similar "facts" about the ancient world are routinely taught to some Wellesley students, and to other students throughout the country-at Temple, City University of New York and Cornell, to name only a few other schools--by professors eager to present an "Afrocentrist" perspective on the ancient world. These "historians" are determined to show that Africa is the true mother of Western civilization, and that Greek philosophy and religion were not invented by the Greeks but rather stolen by them from the ancient Egyptians. They depict the Egyptians, and other ancient peoples of Africa, as victims of a conspiracy: In their view, European historians have banded together to suppress the truth about the derivative and fraudulent nature of European civilization. This conspiracy theory gives the promoters of the Afrocentrist view of history license to ignore many established facts of history and to report (or invent) only data that support their paranoid account of ancient history. If someone can teach that the Greeks stole their philosophy from Egypt, he might as well claim that Jews (rather than Christian Europeans, Arabs and Africans) were primarily responsible for the 19th century slave trade. At Wellesley, the same instructor who assigns books like the Rev. G.G.M. James's "Stolen Legacy" in a course on ancient Africa employs the anonymously authored, notoriously anti-Semitic treatise "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" in a course on modern U.S. history. Those who believe in this conspiracy have a surprisingly easy time imposing their views in American universities today. They are protected, of course, by the doctrine of freedom of speech. But for many academics honoring this doctrine means never questioning the validity of what their colleagues are teaching, partly out of fear that some modern-day Joseph McCarthy will rise and begin to examine what they teach in their own classrooms. Another reason such appalling conspiracy theories can thrive in the academy is that most academics have now become so specialized that they are reluctant to question what is taught outside their own fields. Once faculty members have tenure, they have almost unlimited license to teach what they please, however untenable their views. And hard-core Afrocentrists know they need not fear the intervention of university administrators. Presidents and deans prefer not to take sides or make judgments, particularly in "sensitive" matters of this nature. Rather, they seem to regard themselves as politicians who need to keep the support of all their constituencies. It is beside the point to argue that untruths have always been taught at universities, and that material has always been presented in a biased way. Certainly it is true that as recently as 30 years ago religion professors could insist (with the full support of university trustees and administration) that only Protestant theologians could give a fair account of the history the early church. But there is a crucial difference between such narrow-minded thinking and the present attempts by certain Afrocentrists to denounce the ancient Greeks. The Protestant theologians, although equally convinced of their own objectivity, were not trying to claim that they needed to fight against a great Jewish or Catholic conspiracy. And they did not seek to dispute the basic facts reported in the ancient sources, even if they were written by pagans or Jews. It is clearly time for academics to come out of the closets of their specializations and complain, not only about biased interpretation but about deliberate misrepresentation and manipulation of facts, whether in their own subject areas or in someone else's. Unless they do, generations of students will come to believe that Aristotle put his own name and titles to nonexistent Egyptian treatises that he stole from a library that had not yet been built in a country that he never visited! Subjects like history and philosophy will be replaced by indoctrination, and each of us will believe the brand of "truth" that best serves his or her own selfish purposes. Ms. Lefkowitz, a professor of classics at Wellesley College, is the author "Women in Greek Myth" (Johns Hopkins, 1986). * * * * * * * * * Sep. 29, 1992 WSJ A-14 They Call It 'Diversity' The bill is now coming due for the commitment among colleges and universities to "diversity" and "multiculturalism." It could have been foreseen early on, and was indeed argued by dissenters >from these theories, that their logic would lead to separatism and division. Now the reality has arrived in a bitter, and bitterly ironic, dispute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A group there, led by the Black Student Movement, has demanded a freestanding cultural center for black students, has issued non- negotiable demands to university administrators, and has threatened black faculty members who questioned the strident tone of the demands. Directing attention to one such faculty member (and longtime civil rights activist), the head of the black student organization announced at a rally that this was a revolution and that there were black folk standing in the way of progress. Further, speaker Michelle Thomas warned those blacks, "You better be ready because you're next." Film maker Spike Lee also arrived on campus September 18 to vent his opinion to a rally of some 5,000 students. The director, who recently proposed that people skip school and work to attend the opening of his new film, suggested a playing boycott by black athletes. If black athletes got together, he said, "There wouldn't be no Final Four, no Rose Bowl . . ." etc. There were also exhortations by Muslim Minister Louis Farrakhan's representative, Khalib Muhammed. Socrates, Mr. Muhammed announced, was a "faggot" - a comment received with laughter and applause by many in the crowd. David Molpus, the National Public Radio correspondent who reported on the event, says it wasn't clear whether the crowd was applauding the attack on homosexuals (of which this was not the only example) or the one on Socrates. Mr. Muhammed followed this cultural insight with streams of invective directed at "blue - eyed devils" and "crackers." "We are," he announced, "tired of a blond-haired, pale-skinned blue- eyed buttermilk complexioned cracker Christ or peckerwood Jesus." The NPR reporter on the scene tells us that he approached speakers and organizers after the rally to ask them what they thought of all this and could find no one who had any disagreements with the comments. Some do, of course, but in the current campus climate they may not speak up. One UNC student told the News and Observer newspaper: "I understand their frustration. But now a lot of people will be afraid to speak up and be called racist. But we're afraid of our community being split up." The school administration's early position was that the idea of creating a student center distinctly separate from the rest of the campus would contradict the original ideals of the civil rights movement. It doesn't surprise us, though, that the current generation of university students, including those rallying at UNC for a separate center, would by now be quite confused about the civil rights movement's unifying ideals. All those students who have been targeted by faculty for inculcation in the diversity movement - blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, women - are taught to recognize and value their "distinctness." Can anyone seriously be surprised when they take the logic of this terribly unbalanced argument into separateness? In a new and biting report titled "Telling the Truth" - on the state of the campuses - the chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Lynne Cheney, names some of the administrators who have refused to be bulldozed by threats of unrest or by fear of being smeared as one of those who stands in the way of progress. They include the president of Wesleyan, William Chace, who defended a professor accused of sexism and racism in some books assigned in his course. President Chace noted the existence of a "sad honor roll" of institutions that have allowed and encouraged students to declare certain books and ideas illegitimate - and to consider as appropriate "only that which reinforces or exalts a group:" (In the columns nearby, Heather MacDonald describes the lengths some famous schools are now going to on behalf of group exaltation.) With a bicentennial fund-raising campaign near, North Carolina's Chancellor, Paul Hardin, has now taken the position that he might conceivably back such a center - if it agrees not to be separatist. We suspect Chancellor Hardin is acutely sensitive to the possibility that, in a catastrophic irony, this student center would resurrect on his campus the awful and false "separate but equal" standard of Plessy v. Ferguson. Unless a whole lot more people start to speak up, this is where the proponents of multicultural diversity will take us. * * * * * * * * July 31, 1991 WSJ The Tragedy of Multiculturalism BY IRVING KRISTOL It is difficult, and even dangerous, to talk candidly about "multiculturalism" these days- Such candor is bound to provoke accusations of "insensitivity" at least, "racism" at worst. Even some of the sharpest criticisms of multiculturalism are content to limit themselves to demonstrating how "illiberal" it is, how it violates traditional ideas about the substance of liberal education, and how it represents a deplorable deviation in the way our young-Americans, so heterogeneous in their origins, are to be educated to live together. This criticism is certainly valid and welcome. But it also implicitly concedes too much by going along with the assumption that there really is such a thing as multiculturalism-i.e., a sincere if overzealous effort by well-meaning educators to broaden the horizons of the conventional curriculum. Such educators doubtless exist, but their efforts end up being the victims of a far more aggressive mode of multiculturalism. Though the educational establishment would rather die than admit it, multiculturalism is a desperate--and surely self defeating--strategy for coping with the educational deficiencies, and associated social pathologies, of young blacks. Did these black students and their problems not exist, we would hear little of multiculturalism. There is no evidence that a substantial number of Hispanic parents would like their children to know more about Simon Bolivar and less about George Washington or that Oriental parents feel that their children are being educationally deprived because their textbooks teach them more about ancient Greece than about ancient China. After-School Instruction To the degree that there is any such sentiment in these minority groups, it can be coped with in the traditional way-by a few hours a week of after-school instruction for their children, privately arranged. (At the college level, of course, instruction in the relevant languages, literature, and history has always been available.) But most adult Hispanics and Orientals do not have any such concern. They are fully preoccupied with the process of "Americanization." The "roots~ these groups seek are right here in the U.S., not among the Aztecs or in the Ming dynasty. Most Hispanics are behaving very much like the Italians of yesteryear; most Orientals, like the Jews of yesteryear. Because of differences in cultural background, their integration into American society proceeds at different rates-but it does proceed. The process is not without pain and turmoil, but it works. Ironically, and sadly, it has not worked so well for American blacks, among the earliest arrivals. Hence, out of desperation, the turn to multiculturalism. Multiculturalism comes in varying kinds and varying degrees of intensity. A child may come home from elementary school knowing more about Harriet Tubman than about Abraham Lincoln. This can be disconcerting to white parents and baffling to Hispanics or Oriental, but presumably they can shrug it off as a transient phenomenon. The question is: Do such trivial pursuits of worthy but relatively obscure racial ancestors really help black students? There is no evidence that it does. In theory. it is supposed to elevate their sense of self esteem as individuals and as blacks. But genuine self-esteem comes from real-life experiences, not from the flattering attention of textbooks. In fact, as is well known by now, the problems of young blacks do not arise in our schools, nor are they remediable there. They are the product of their homes and environments-a terrible social problem, not an educational problem. But this does not prevent our overly ambitious educational establishment from engaging in a pretense of offering "solutions." In addition to promoting self- esteem among young blacks--our white students already have a wildly inflated notion of their academic capabilities, as researchers have demonstrated-it seeks to promote appropriate "role models" in the school. "Role models" and "self-esteem" are now crucial terms in the psychobabble of the educational world. Actually, hiring more black male teachers is a good idea. But it has nothing to do with the provision of role models. Just as fathers in the home are very important as' a source of moral authority, so black male teachers can be a useful source of authority in the school-especially when the home has no father. They can help make a school a more orderly and decent place. But just as fathers play their part without a thought of being role models, so do black male teachers play an equivalent part. Role models are largely a sociological fantasy. We all, when young, have known (or have known of) adults whom we respected and admired-until, with time, their images fade as our interests shift. Very few of us have gone through life gazing at role models we have known. And, unfortunately, there is as yet little evidence that black teachers have a significant, differential effect on the academic achievements of black students. It is in its most intense and extreme form, however, that multiculturalism is on its way to being a major educational, social and eventually political problem. This version is propagated on our college campuses by a coalition of nationalist- racist blacks, radical feminists, "gays" and lesbians, and a handful of aspiring demagogues who claim to represent various ethnic minorities. In this coalition, it is the blacks who provide the hard core of energy, because it is they who can intimidate the faculty and the administration, fearful of being branded "racist." This coalition's multiculturalism is an ideology whose educational program is subordinated to a political program that is, above all, anti-American and anti-Western. It is no exaggeration to say that these campus radicals (professors as well as students ), having given up on the "class struggle"--the American workers all being conscientious objectors-have now moved to an agenda of ethnic-racial conflict. The agenda, in its educational dimension, has as its explicit purpose to induce in the minds and sensibilities of minority students a "Third World consciousness"-that is the very phrase they use. In practice, this means an effort to persuade minority students to be contemptuous of and hostile to America and Western civilization as a whole, interpreted as an age-old system of oppression, colonialism and exploitation. What these radicals blandly call multiculturalism is as much a "war against the West" as Nazism and Stalinism ever were. Under the guise of multiculturalism, their ideas-whose radical substance often goes beyond the bounds of the political into sheer fantasy-are infiltrating our educational system at all levels. (On this page yesterday, Michael Meyers explored--and deplored-the preaching of some of these ideas by the "Africanists." ) Just as bad money drives out good, so the most intense versions of an ideology tend to color and shape the less intense. Concession After Concession It is now becoming ever more common within the American educational system for increasing numbers of young blacks to learn that what we call "Western civilization" was invented by black Egyptians and feloniously appropriated by the Greeks, or that black Africa was a peaceful, technologically advanced continent before the white Europeans devastated it. Such instruction can only inflame an already common belief among blacks that "white America" and its government are deliberately fostering drug addiction and diabolically tolerating the AIDS virus in the black community. Multiculturalism, as its most ardent proponents well understand, is a technique for "consciousness raising" by deliberately stroking this kind of paranoia. One does not wish to be apocalyptic though thoughtful and honest teachers may be forgiven for thinking their world is coming to an end. Most of those who tolerate or even advocate multiculturalism in our schools and colleges have educational, not ideological, intentions. But the force is with the extremists, who ride roughshod over the opposition by intimidating it with accusations of "racism." So the opposition timidly makes concession after concession while seeking shelter in anonymity. Recently, a journalist telephoned five leading professors of Egyptology, asking them what they thought about the claim of a black Egyptian provenance for Western civilization. They all said it is nonsense. At the same time, they all withheld permission for their names to be attached to this risky, "politically incorrect" position. There is no doubt that today, multiculturalism is beclouding and disorienting the minds of tens of thousands of our students-- mainly black students. It is not an educational reform. It is an educational and an American--tragedy.

Board of Education it is important to recognize that such attempts to extend American democracy were based upon setting aside superficial differences in the interests of individual possibility. Since then, however, another agenda has seized the wheel of the cultural bus. I'm referring to Afrocentrism. In fact, the emergence of Afrocentrism makes explicit a continuing crisis in the intellectual assessment of race, history and Culture in our nation. It serves as another example of how quickly we will submit to visions that are at odds with the heroic imperatives of shaping a cohesive society out of its fragmentary parts. When it comes to skin tone, we remain ever gullible, willing to sponsor almost any idea claiming to make fresh judgments of our society. Just as virtually anything can sell as art, no matter its lack of facility, most ideas can make their way onto our campuses and into our discussions of policy. As a movement, Afrocentrism is another clever but simple-minded hustle that has descended from what was once called "the professional Negro," a person whose "identity" and whose "struggle" constituted a public commodity. James Baldwin became a master of that form, as a writer, speaker and television guest, but he arrived before his brand of engagement by harangue was departmentalized. Now like most areas of specious American ideas claiming to "get the story straight," this commodity sells as academic pancakes, buttered by the naive indignation of students and sweetened by gushes of pitying syrup. Afrocentrism At its core, though, Afrocentrism has little to offer of any intellectual substance. It benefits in spades from the decline of faith so basic to how intellectuals have fumbled the heroic demands of our time. The discontinuity of ideals and actions, the blood spore that is history, and the long list of atrocities committed in the name of God and country have convinced many Western intellectuals that the only sensible postures are those of the defeatist and the cynic. As with the tenured Marxist, Afrocentrists will use the contradiction to define the whole, asserting that Western civilization is no more than the work of imperialists and racists who quest for an order of geopolitical domination that is inextricably connected to profit and exploitation, white over black. Where the Marxist looks forward to a sentimental paradise of workers uber alles, the Afrocentrist speaks of a paradise lost and the possibility of a paradise regained--if only black people will rediscover the essentials of their African identity. For all its pretensions to expanding our vision, the Afrocentric movement is not propelled by a desire to bring about any significant enrichment of our American culture. What Afrocentrists almost always want is power--the power to define. no matter how flimsy their cases might be. As with most movements built on conspiracy theories, only the sources of argument and the "proof" provided by Afrocentrists are acceptable; all else is either defined as willfully flawed or brought to debate solely in the interest of maintaining a vision of European domination throughout history and within the province of ideas. Thus, the worst insult is that critics are "Eurocentric." When charged with shoddy scholarship, the Afrocentrist's retort is that his or her purportedly revolutionary work arrives through means of research and assessment outside "European methodology." Afrocentrism, then, presents itself as ethnic liberation, a circling of the wagons within the academy, an attempt to impale Eurocentric authority on the dilemma of black intellectual rebellion. At the same time, Afrocentrism is like all of the protest versions of study that are actually extensions of soap operas in which the stars are paid to emote the effects of injustice. It's about achieving the respect held for traditional disciplines while not measuring up to the standards of traditional research. Though ever scoffing at the academy, the Afrocentrists want all of the prestige and the benefits that come with being there. No one should be surprised, since we live in a time in which it is not considered hypocritical to seek employment within a structure you claim is contemptuous. A central component of the Afrocentric argument is that Egypt was black and that Greco-Roman civilization resulted from its influence. This means that the foundation Of Western civilization is African- It's a relatively sophisticated version of Elijah Muhammad's Yacub myth, in which the white man is invented by a mad black scientist determined to destroy the world through an innately evil creature. Why this obsession with race and ancient Egypt? First, monuments. #here is no significant African architecture capable of rivaling the grand wonders of the world, European or not. Second, there is no written language or body of thought comparable to that upon which Western civilization has built and developed its morality, Politics, technology, economy and arts. More than a few of us yearn for pedigrees, wishing for access to aristocracy through the accumulated majesty of a long family line. If family won't do, then we might snatch the unwieldy crown of race for a coronation that defines the group as innately aristocratic. * * * College students swallow Afrocentrism whole and conclude that all of their problems result from lacking an "African centered" worldview that would provide them with an education Suitable to their history and to their needs in a racist Society. These are all responses to humiliation-expressions of having taken the insults of the opposition too seriously, retreats from engagement, dismissals of complexity, racial isolationism. Essential to the justification for the myopic vision that emerges is a list of real and imagined atrocities. The great tragedies of the white South were the loss of the Civil War and the humiliation of Reconstruction; for the black nationalist, they were slavery, the colonial exploitation of Africa, and the European denial of the moral superiority of African culture and civilization, beginning with Egypt. * * * Tribal Views In essence, Afrocentrists want to live on a high-grade reservation so they can ignore the national vision of human rights when it conflicts with their own tribal views. By attempting to win the souls of black college students and influence what is taught to black children in Public schools, Afrocentrists seek a large enough constituency to maintain what power now exists and extend it to what Segregation once Promised- "separate but equal". Yet the central failure of Afrocentrism is that it doesn't recognize that Afro-Americans have realized, over and over and often against terrible odds, the truest meanings of democratic possibility. Lincoln understood this when he told his secretary that, given his point of social origin, Frederick Douglass was probably the most meritorious man in the entire United States. The fact that the majority of black mayors have gained office Without dependence on majority-black electorates indicates how far we have moved beyond the political limits of both Northern and Southern segregation- Since 1954, black Americans have risen to the top of every sector of our society as Scientists, educators, aviators, politicians, artists, lawyers, judges and athletes. We can never forget that our fate as Americans is, finally, collective. We fail our mission as a democratic nation whenever we submit to any sort of segregation that would remake the rules and distort the truth in the interest of creating or satisfying a constituency unwilling to assert the tragic optimism so intrinsic to our national heritage. Mr. Crouch wrote other versions of this for the Manhattan Institute's booklet "Alternatives to Afrocentrism " and the summer issue of the Institute's City Journal.

As a consequence, students arrive at universities with such a weak grasp of the facts of the past that it is quite easy to convince them of just about anything. This weeks lesson provides you with examples of one of the most eggregious examples of politically motivated rewriting of history at the College level - "Afrocentrism". The dividing line between propaganda and serious inquiry has blurred. At the conclusion of lesson 4 we asked whether it was wise for liberals to weaken and propagandize the history curriculum. After all, there are alternative sources that would be happy to interpret the meaning of Western Civilization to curious European-Americans without the intervention of liberal integrationist professors. As you review the readings below, you should ask whether integration and assimilation are realistically possible when a group becomes so alienated from the majority that it manufactures a vision of the past regarded by the majority as fanciful. Can this be an optimistic sign for the future? YGGDRASIL recommends that you read the following: April 7, 1993 WSJ p A14 Afrocentrists Wage War on Ancient Greeks By MARY LEFKOWITZ Recently I heard a lecture at Wellesley College that, not so long ago, would have seemed strangely out of place in an academic setting. As if there were no question about the accuracy of his information, the speaker, Yosef A. A. ben-Jochannan, assured his young audience that Greek civilization dates from only 1000 B.C. (In fact, Greek speaking peoples occupied the Greek mainland for at least half a millennium before that.) He went on to suggest that Socrates was a figment of Plato's imagination. (In fact, the great philosopher is mentioned by several other contemporary writers, such as the comic poet Aristophanes and the historian Xenophon.) As for Plato himself, Mr. ben-Jochannan claimed that the philosopher had studied for 11 years in Egypt. (It is very unlikely that he even went there.) He said that Plato learned >from Egyptian sages in Masonic Grand Lodges an Egyptian "mystery" system. (In reality, there was no such system, and a literature about Greco-Egyptian philosophy did not come into existence until 500 years after Plato's death.) Then, as if to drive home the message of the treachery and inferiority of the ancient Greeks, he asserted that Aristotle sacked the Library of Alexandria and stole his philosophy from the Egyptians. In fact. the library was not built until after Aristotle's death and there is no evidence that Aristotle ever went to Egypt, much less stole his philosophy from there. When a colleague and I asked Mr. ben-Jochannan to identify the ancient sources on which he based his assertions, he declined to answer. When we pointed out one or two errors of fact, he accused us of arrogance and insolence. One student apologized to the speaker for our rudeness, and walked out. After the lecture other students surrounded us, saying: "You think you know the truth, but HE is telling the truth. What you learned is wrong." Despite appearances, this was no political rally, or at least it wasn't billed as such. It was the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Lecture in the Wellesley College Chapel, located on a campus that has until now prided itself on reasoned discourse and behavior. The speaker had been introduced by our college president as an "eminent Egyptologist and historian." One could just laugh and forget about it, if occasions like this were exceptional. But similar "facts" about the ancient world are routinely taught to some Wellesley students, and to other students throughout the country-at Temple, City University of New York and Cornell, to name only a few other schools--by professors eager to present an "Afrocentrist" perspective on the ancient world. These "historians" are determined to show that Africa is the true mother of Western civilization, and that Greek philosophy and religion were not invented by the Greeks but rather stolen by them from the ancient Egyptians. They depict the Egyptians, and other ancient peoples of Africa, as victims of a conspiracy: In their view, European historians have banded together to suppress the truth about the derivative and fraudulent nature of European civilization. This conspiracy theory gives the promoters of the Afrocentrist view of history license to ignore many established facts of history and to report (or invent) only data that support their paranoid account of ancient history. If someone can teach that the Greeks stole their philosophy from Egypt, he might as well claim that Jews (rather than Christian Europeans, Arabs and Africans) were primarily responsible for the 19th century slave trade. At Wellesley, the same instructor who assigns books like the Rev. G.G.M. James's "Stolen Legacy" in a course on ancient Africa employs the anonymously authored, notoriously anti-Semitic treatise "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" in a course on modern U.S. history. Those who believe in this conspiracy have a surprisingly easy time imposing their views in American universities today. They are protected, of course, by the doctrine of freedom of speech. But for many academics honoring this doctrine means never questioning the validity of what their colleagues are teaching, partly out of fear that some modern-day Joseph McCarthy will rise and begin to examine what they teach in their own classrooms. Another reason such appalling conspiracy theories can thrive in the academy is that most academics have now become so specialized that they are reluctant to question what is taught outside their own fields. Once faculty members have tenure, they have almost unlimited license to teach what they please, however untenable their views. And hard-core Afrocentrists know they need not fear the intervention of university administrators. Presidents and deans prefer not to take sides or make judgments, particularly in "sensitive" matters of this nature. Rather, they seem to regard themselves as politicians who need to keep the support of all their constituencies. It is beside the point to argue that untruths have always been taught at universities, and that material has always been presented in a biased way. Certainly it is true that as recently as 30 years ago religion professors could insist (with the full support of university trustees and administration) that only Protestant theologians could give a fair account of the history the early church. But there is a crucial difference between such narrow-minded thinking and the present attempts by certain Afrocentrists to denounce the ancient Greeks. The Protestant theologians, although equally convinced of their own objectivity, were not trying to claim that they needed to fight against a great Jewish or Catholic conspiracy. And they did not seek to dispute the basic facts reported in the ancient sources, even if they were written by pagans or Jews. It is clearly time for academics to come out of the closets of their specializations and complain, not only about biased interpretation but about deliberate misrepresentation and manipulation of facts, whether in their own subject areas or in someone else's. Unless they do, generations of students will come to believe that Aristotle put his own name and titles to nonexistent Egyptian treatises that he stole from a library that had not yet been built in a country that he never visited! Subjects like history and philosophy will be replaced by indoctrination, and each of us will believe the brand of "truth" that best serves his or her own selfish purposes. Ms. Lefkowitz, a professor of classics at Wellesley College, is the author "Women in Greek Myth" (Johns Hopkins, 1986). * * * * * * * * * Sep. 29, 1992 WSJ A-14 They Call It 'Diversity' The bill is now coming due for the commitment among colleges and universities to "diversity" and "multiculturalism." It could have been foreseen early on, and was indeed argued by dissenters >from these theories, that their logic would lead to separatism and division. Now the reality has arrived in a bitter, and bitterly ironic, dispute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A group there, led by the Black Student Movement, has demanded a freestanding cultural center for black students, has issued non- negotiable demands to university administrators, and has threatened black faculty members who questioned the strident tone of the demands. Directing attention to one such faculty member (and longtime civil rights activist), the head of the black student organization announced at a rally that this was a revolution and that there were black folk standing in the way of progress. Further, speaker Michelle Thomas warned those blacks, "You better be ready because you're next." Film maker Spike Lee also arrived on campus September 18 to vent his opinion to a rally of some 5,000 students. The director, who recently proposed that people skip school and work to attend the opening of his new film, suggested a playing boycott by black athletes. If black athletes got together, he said, "There wouldn't be no Final Four, no Rose Bowl . . ." etc. There were also exhortations by Muslim Minister Louis Farrakhan's representative, Khalib Muhammed. Socrates, Mr. Muhammed announced, was a "faggot" - a comment received with laughter and applause by many in the crowd. David Molpus, the National Public Radio correspondent who reported on the event, says it wasn't clear whether the crowd was applauding the attack on homosexuals (of which this was not the only example) or the one on Socrates. Mr. Muhammed followed this cultural insight with streams of invective directed at "blue - eyed devils" and "crackers." "We are," he announced, "tired of a blond-haired, pale-skinned blue- eyed buttermilk complexioned cracker Christ or peckerwood Jesus." The NPR reporter on the scene tells us that he approached speakers and organizers after the rally to ask them what they thought of all this and could find no one who had any disagreements with the comments. Some do, of course, but in the current campus climate they may not speak up. One UNC student told the News and Observer newspaper: "I understand their frustration. But now a lot of people will be afraid to speak up and be called racist. But we're afraid of our community being split up." The school administration's early position was that the idea of creating a student center distinctly separate from the rest of the campus would contradict the original ideals of the civil rights movement. It doesn't surprise us, though, that the current generation of university students, including those rallying at UNC for a separate center, would by now be quite confused about the civil rights movement's unifying ideals. All those students who have been targeted by faculty for inculcation in the diversity movement - blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, women - are taught to recognize and value their "distinctness." Can anyone seriously be surprised when they take the logic of this terribly unbalanced argument into separateness? In a new and biting report titled "Telling the Truth" - on the state of the campuses - the chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Lynne Cheney, names some of the administrators who have refused to be bulldozed by threats of unrest or by fear of being smeared as one of those who stands in the way of progress. They include the president of Wesleyan, William Chace, who defended a professor accused of sexism and racism in some books assigned in his course. President Chace noted the existence of a "sad honor roll" of institutions that have allowed and encouraged students to declare certain books and ideas illegitimate - and to consider as appropriate "only that which reinforces or exalts a group:" (In the columns nearby, Heather MacDonald describes the lengths some famous schools are now going to on behalf of group exaltation.) With a bicentennial fund-raising campaign near, North Carolina's Chancellor, Paul Hardin, has now taken the position that he might conceivably back such a center - if it agrees not to be separatist. We suspect Chancellor Hardin is acutely sensitive to the possibility that, in a catastrophic irony, this student center would resurrect on his campus the awful and false "separate but equal" standard of Plessy v. Ferguson. Unless a whole lot more people start to speak up, this is where the proponents of multicultural diversity will take us. * * * * * * * * July 31, 1991 WSJ The Tragedy of Multiculturalism BY IRVING KRISTOL It is difficult, and even dangerous, to talk candidly about "multiculturalism" these days- Such candor is bound to provoke accusations of "insensitivity" at least, "racism" at worst. Even some of the sharpest criticisms of multiculturalism are content to limit themselves to demonstrating how "illiberal" it is, how it violates traditional ideas about the substance of liberal education, and how it represents a deplorable deviation in the way our young-Americans, so heterogeneous in their origins, are to be educated to live together. This criticism is certainly valid and welcome. But it also implicitly concedes too much by going along with the assumption that there really is such a thing as multiculturalism-i.e., a sincere if overzealous effort by well-meaning educators to broaden the horizons of the conventional curriculum. Such educators doubtless exist, but their efforts end up being the victims of a far more aggressive mode of multiculturalism. Though the educational establishment would rather die than admit it, multiculturalism is a desperate--and surely self defeating--strategy for coping with the educational deficiencies, and associated social pathologies, of young blacks. Did these black students and their problems not exist, we would hear little of multiculturalism. There is no evidence that a substantial number of Hispanic parents would like their children to know more about Simon Bolivar and less about George Washington or that Oriental parents feel that their children are being educationally deprived because their textbooks teach them more about ancient Greece than about ancient China. After-School Instruction To the degree that there is any such sentiment in these minority groups, it can be coped with in the traditional way-by a few hours a week of after-school instruction for their children, privately arranged. (At the college level, of course, instruction in the relevant languages, literature, and history has always been available.) But most adult Hispanics and Orientals do not have any such concern. They are fully preoccupied with the process of "Americanization." The "roots~ these groups seek are right here in the U.S., not among the Aztecs or in the Ming dynasty. Most Hispanics are behaving very much like the Italians of yesteryear; most Orientals, like the Jews of yesteryear. Because of differences in cultural background, their integration into American society proceeds at different rates-but it does proceed. The process is not without pain and turmoil, but it works. Ironically, and sadly, it has not worked so well for American blacks, among the earliest arrivals. Hence, out of desperation, the turn to multiculturalism. Multiculturalism comes in varying kinds and varying degrees of intensity. A child may come home from elementary school knowing more about Harriet Tubman than about Abraham Lincoln. This can be disconcerting to white parents and baffling to Hispanics or Oriental, but presumably they can shrug it off as a transient phenomenon. The question is: Do such trivial pursuits of worthy but relatively obscure racial ancestors really help black students? There is no evidence that it does. In theory. it is supposed to elevate their sense of self esteem as individuals and as blacks. But genuine self-esteem comes from real-life experiences, not from the flattering attention of textbooks. In fact, as is well known by now, the problems of young blacks do not arise in our schools, nor are they remediable there. They are the product of their homes and environments-a terrible social problem, not an educational problem. But this does not prevent our overly ambitious educational establishment from engaging in a pretense of offering "solutions." In addition to promoting self- esteem among young blacks--our white students already have a wildly inflated notion of their academic capabilities, as researchers have demonstrated-it seeks to promote appropriate "role models" in the school. "Role models" and "self-esteem" are now crucial terms in the psychobabble of the educational world. Actually, hiring more black male teachers is a good idea. But it has nothing to do with the provision of role models. Just as fathers in the home are very important as' a source of moral authority, so black male teachers can be a useful source of authority in the school-especially when the home has no father. They can help make a school a more orderly and decent place. But just as fathers play their part without a thought of being role models, so do black male teachers play an equivalent part. Role models are largely a sociological fantasy. We all, when young, have known (or have known of) adults whom we respected and admired-until, with time, their images fade as our interests shift. Very few of us have gone through life gazing at role models we have known. And, unfortunately, there is as yet little evidence that black teachers have a significant, differential effect on the academic achievements of black students. It is in its most intense and extreme form, however, that multiculturalism is on its way to being a major educational, social and eventually political problem. This version is propagated on our college campuses by a coalition of nationalist- racist blacks, radical feminists, "gays" and lesbians, and a handful of aspiring demagogues who claim to represent various ethnic minorities. In this coalition, it is the blacks who provide the hard core of energy, because it is they who can intimidate the faculty and the administration, fearful of being branded "racist." This coalition's multiculturalism is an ideology whose educational program is subordinated to a political program that is, above all, anti-American and anti-Western. It is no exaggeration to say that these campus radicals (professors as well as students ), having given up on the "class struggle"--the American workers all being conscientious objectors-have now moved to an agenda of ethnic-racial conflict. The agenda, in its educational dimension, has as its explicit purpose to induce in the minds and sensibilities of minority students a "Third World consciousness"-that is the very phrase they use. In practice, this means an effort to persuade minority students to be contemptuous of and hostile to America and Western civilization as a whole, interpreted as an age-old system of oppression, colonialism and exploitation. What these radicals blandly call multiculturalism is as much a "war against the West" as Nazism and Stalinism ever were. Under the guise of multiculturalism, their ideas-whose radical substance often goes beyond the bounds of the political into sheer fantasy-are infiltrating our educational system at all levels. (On this page yesterday, Michael Meyers explored--and deplored-the preaching of some of these ideas by the "Africanists." ) Just as bad money drives out good, so the most intense versions of an ideology tend to color and shape the less intense. Concession After Concession It is now becoming ever more common within the American educational system for increasing numbers of young blacks to learn that what we call "Western civilization" was invented by black Egyptians and feloniously appropriated by the Greeks, or that black Africa was a peaceful, technologically advanced continent before the white Europeans devastated it. Such instruction can only inflame an already common belief among blacks that "white America" and its government are deliberately fostering drug addiction and diabolically tolerating the AIDS virus in the black community. Multiculturalism, as its most ardent proponents well understand, is a technique for "consciousness raising" by deliberately stroking this kind of paranoia. One does not wish to be apocalyptic though thoughtful and honest teachers may be forgiven for thinking their world is coming to an end. Most of those who tolerate or even advocate multiculturalism in our schools and colleges have educational, not ideological, intentions. But the force is with the extremists, who ride roughshod over the opposition by intimidating it with accusations of "racism." So the opposition timidly makes concession after concession while seeking shelter in anonymity. Recently, a journalist telephoned five leading professors of Egyptology, asking them what they thought about the claim of a black Egyptian provenance for Western civilization. They all said it is nonsense. At the same time, they all withheld permission for their names to be attached to this risky, "politically incorrect" position. There is no doubt that today, multiculturalism is beclouding and disorienting the minds of tens of thousands of our students-- mainly black students. It is not an educational reform. It is an educational and an American--tragedy.

Board of Education it is important to recognize that such attempts to extend American democracy were based upon setting aside superficial differences in the interests of individual possibility. Since then, however, another agenda has seized the wheel of the cultural bus. I'm referring to Afrocentrism. In fact, the emergence of Afrocentrism makes explicit a continuing crisis in the intellectual assessment of race, history and Culture in our nation. It serves as another example of how quickly we will submit to visions that are at odds with the heroic imperatives of shaping a cohesive society out of its fragmentary parts. When it comes to skin tone, we remain ever gullible, willing to sponsor almost any idea claiming to make fresh judgments of our society. Just as virtually anything can sell as art, no matter its lack of facility, most ideas can make their way onto our campuses and into our discussions of policy. As a movement, Afrocentrism is another clever but simple-minded hustle that has descended from what was once called "the professional Negro," a person whose "identity" and whose "struggle" constituted a public commodity. James Baldwin became a master of that form, as a writer, speaker and television guest, but he arrived before his brand of engagement by harangue was departmentalized. Now like most areas of specious American ideas claiming to "get the story straight," this commodity sells as academic pancakes, buttered by the naive indignation of students and sweetened by gushes of pitying syrup. Afrocentrism At its core, though, Afrocentrism has little to offer of any intellectual substance. It benefits in spades from the decline of faith so basic to how intellectuals have fumbled the heroic demands of our time. The discontinuity of ideals and actions, the blood spore that is history, and the long list of atrocities committed in the name of God and country have convinced many Western intellectuals that the only sensible postures are those of the defeatist and the cynic. As with the tenured Marxist, Afrocentrists will use the contradiction to define the whole, asserting that Western civilization is no more than the work of imperialists and racists who quest for an order of geopolitical domination that is inextricably connected to profit and exploitation, white over black. Where the Marxist looks forward to a sentimental paradise of workers uber alles, the Afrocentrist speaks of a paradise lost and the possibility of a paradise regained--if only black people will rediscover the essentials of their African identity. For all its pretensions to expanding our vision, the Afrocentric movement is not propelled by a desire to bring about any significant enrichment of our American culture. What Afrocentrists almost always want is power--the power to define. no matter how flimsy their cases might be. As with most movements built on conspiracy theories, only the sources of argument and the "proof" provided by Afrocentrists are acceptable; all else is either defined as willfully flawed or brought to debate solely in the interest of maintaining a vision of European domination throughout history and within the province of ideas. Thus, the worst insult is that critics are "Eurocentric." When charged with shoddy scholarship, the Afrocentrist's retort is that his or her purportedly revolutionary work arrives through means of research and assessment outside "European methodology." Afrocentrism, then, presents itself as ethnic liberation, a circling of the wagons within the academy, an attempt to impale Eurocentric authority on the dilemma of black intellectual rebellion. At the same time, Afrocentrism is like all of the protest versions of study that are actually extensions of soap operas in which the stars are paid to emote the effects of injustice. It's about achieving the respect held for traditional disciplines while not measuring up to the standards of traditional research. Though ever scoffing at the academy, the Afrocentrists want all of the prestige and the benefits that come with being there. No one should be surprised, since we live in a time in which it is not considered hypocritical to seek employment within a structure you claim is contemptuous. A central component of the Afrocentric argument is that Egypt was black and that Greco-Roman civilization resulted from its influence. This means that the foundation Of Western civilization is African- It's a relatively sophisticated version of Elijah Muhammad's Yacub myth, in which the white man is invented by a mad black scientist determined to destroy the world through an innately evil creature. Why this obsession with race and ancient Egypt? First, monuments. #here is no significant African architecture capable of rivaling the grand wonders of the world, European or not. Second, there is no written language or body of thought comparable to that upon which Western civilization has built and developed its morality, Politics, technology, economy and arts. More than a few of us yearn for pedigrees, wishing for access to aristocracy through the accumulated majesty of a long family line. If family won't do, then we might snatch the unwieldy crown of race for a coronation that defines the group as innately aristocratic. * * * College students swallow Afrocentrism whole and conclude that all of their problems result from lacking an "African centered" worldview that would provide them with an education Suitable to their history and to their needs in a racist Society. These are all responses to humiliation-expressions of having taken the insults of the opposition too seriously, retreats from engagement, dismissals of complexity, racial isolationism. Essential to the justification for the myopic vision that emerges is a list of real and imagined atrocities. The great tragedies of the white South were the loss of the Civil War and the humiliation of Reconstruction; for the black nationalist, they were slavery, the colonial exploitation of Africa, and the European denial of the moral superiority of African culture and civilization, beginning with Egypt. * * * Tribal Views In essence, Afrocentrists want to live on a high-grade reservation so they can ignore the national vision of human rights when it conflicts with their own tribal views. By attempting to win the souls of black college students and influence what is taught to black children in Public schools, Afrocentrists seek a large enough constituency to maintain what power now exists and extend it to what Segregation once Promised- "separate but equal". Yet the central failure of Afrocentrism is that it doesn't recognize that Afro-Americans have realized, over and over and often against terrible odds, the truest meanings of democratic possibility. Lincoln understood this when he told his secretary that, given his point of social origin, Frederick Douglass was probably the most meritorious man in the entire United States. The fact that the majority of black mayors have gained office Without dependence on majority-black electorates indicates how far we have moved beyond the political limits of both Northern and Southern segregation- Since 1954, black Americans have risen to the top of every sector of our society as Scientists, educators, aviators, politicians, artists, lawyers, judges and athletes. We can never forget that our fate as Americans is, finally, collective. We fail our mission as a democratic nation whenever we submit to any sort of segregation that would remake the rules and distort the truth in the interest of creating or satisfying a constituency unwilling to assert the tragic optimism so intrinsic to our national heritage. Mr. Crouch wrote other versions of this for the Manhattan Institute's booklet "Alternatives to Afrocentrism " and the summer issue of the Institute's City Journal.

Headed by former House Representative Barbara Jordan (D-TX), the nine-member commission was jointly created by the President and Congress to study legal immigration and provide recommendations for reform by September 1997. Republican pressure from Congressional immigration committees has forced the Commission to act ahead of schedule. At stake is the "family reunification" program, which allows legal immigrants and native-born citizens to bring relatives to the country. The program - which grants automatic citizenship to children, siblings, cousins, and parents - currently accounts for 70% of the 800,000 legal immigrants admitted to the U.S. every year. Family members admitted can then bring their extended family to America, resulting in "chain immigration"; immigrants admitted under these policies need not meet minimal job skill or fluency requirements. During the last week of May, the Commission met behind closed doors for three days and passed a number of resolutions on family reunification and total immigration levels. Based on unnamed, "knowledgable sources," the San Fransisco Chronicle predicted that the Commission will restrict reunification to the nuclear, rather than extended, family. By also halving the number of political refugees admitted from the current 135,000 per year, the Commission expects to reduce immigration by 25% over the next five years.

These "evil" statistics do not even occur with all the laws and scapegoating that are perpetuated against the politically incorrect white race. Surely as a sociology major you must be aware of the studies done by black sociologists which have proven that because minorities have less social scapegoating and economic pressures, that they thus have higher self-esteem.

Clarence Thomas, the only Negro member of the Supreme Court, described affirmative action as "a racial paternalism exception to the (constitutional) principle of equal protection." A government program which set aside construction contracts for non-White owned businesses was the case that Monday's decision was based upon. The ruling will affect not just this program but a wide range of other affirmative action programs including non-White hiring formulas and the awarding of broadcast licenses to non-Whites. The court also ruled on another race-related case by a 5-4 majority on Monday. The decision stated that a federal judge exceeded his authority in a Kansas City, Missouri, school desegregation case when he ordered increased steps toward desegregation because Negro students' test scores had not risen significantly after desegregation. -=<>=- ANA -=<>=- side note: The fight against Legal Racism is a slow battle in which we must first overcome many bureaucratic obstacles in order to be successful. Replacing qualified whites with unqualified ignorant minorities in the workforce has caused a great economic strain and profound loss of efficiency throughout our economy in the last 3 decades. The struggle against the third world take over will not be an easy battle, but in the end we will prevail only if we maintain a high level of awareness of the new liberal tactics in progress. The new liberal tactics will be highly sophisticated and will attempt to mask Affirmative Action programs behind politically correct agendas and movements.

SPY CASE NEWSPAPER STORIES Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith Conducted Massive National Surveillance Campaign -- Sold Dossiers on Leftists to Foreign Intelligence Agencies and Latin American Death Squad Governments Presented as a public information resource. FILE ONE OF TWO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright 1993 The Chronicle Publishing Co. The San Francisco Chronicle FORMER S.F. COP FOCUS OF PROBE He is suspected of peddling police files to South African spy BYLINE: Phillip Matier, Andrew Ross [JANUARY 15, 1993, FRIDAY, FINAL EDITION, Pg. A21; "The Matier & Ross Report".] Local and federal law enforcement authorities are investigating charges that a former San Francisco police officer sold secret police files to a South African intelligence agent, The Chronicle has learned. The South African agent operating in the United States allegedly paid more than $ 20,000 for police information on hate groups. Some hate group files, which were supposed to be classified, eventually wound up in the hands of the Anti-Defamation League, according to law enforcement sources close to the case. San Francisco Police Chief Anthony Ribera confirmed the probe yesterday, saying: ''Our department is conducting a criminal investigation of Inspector Tom Gerard, and our special investigation division is working with the district attorney's office on this investigation.'' The FBI is also reported to be investigating the matter. Leaders of the Jewish group deny any improprieties and say they are cooperating with the investigation. They did not say how the police information got to them. Jerrold Ladar, an attorney for the ADL, emphasized that the ADL has no ties to South African or Israeli intelligence services. Law enforcement officials would not divulge the contents of the purloined material, but suggested that it contained information on Nazi skinheads and others considered to be violent anti-Semites. Gerard, a 25-year department veteran, quit the force last month and moved to the Philippines, according to law enforcement sources. Sources within the Police Department say this is the first known case in the history of the department where confidential information was allegedly leaked or sold to a foreign agent. News of the case renewed concerns within the American Civil Liberties over the police department's intelligence-gathering procedures. It "raises questions about what else is going on," said San Francisco attorney John Crew of the ACLU, which has been pressing the Police Department to overhaul its intelligence gathering operations. ''. . . This whole area is potentially subject to enormous abuse.'' The joint federal and local is expected to continue for at least two more weeks, and in the meantime, neither the FBI nor the district attorney's office will discuss it or even confirm its existence. Police Chief Ribera, while also declining to talk about any specifics of the case, said he would ''aggressively seek prosecution'' of any police officer who ''compromised state or federal law as far as disseminating confidential information.'' Gerard's attorney, Jim Lassart, could not be reached for comment yesterday. Last month, authorities obtained a warrant to search Gerard's boat in Sausalito, along with other addresses in San Francisco and Southern California. The search warrant was sealed by Superior Court Judge Lenard Louie. But one source said that among the material seized from the boat where Gerard lived was a computer disk containing information from San Francisco police computer files. ''It's stuff that would have to have been stolen or removed illegally,'' said a police source familiar with the investigation. With cooperation from the ADL, district attorney investigators also searched that organization's offices both in San Francisco and Los Angeles on December 10. The search of ADL offices turned up information that had recently been taken from a national police computer network. How it landed in the ADL's offices is a mystery, investigators say. But South African and Israeli intelligence groups have long had close links. ADL RESPONSE ''The Anti-Defamation League is aware of an investigation and has made files in San Francisco and Los Angeles available to law enforcement officials,'' ADL Regional Director Richard Hirschhaut said yesterday in a prepared statement. ''ADL has been told by law enforcement officials conducting the investigation that it is not a subject or a target of any investigation.'' Hirschhaut and others representing the ADL denied that the group has any connection to Israeli intelligence, but said: ''ADL has consistently worked with law enforcement agencies and community groups in providing information on extremist groups and in assisting law enforcement officers with training on such issues as anti-Semitic vandalism and hate crimes.'' In 1991, Gerard joined other law enforcement officials on an ''ADL law enforcement mission'' to Israel, Hirschhaut said. ''The law enforcement missions further ADL's mandate of monitoring and exposing extremist and anti-Semitic groups.'' Fellow officers describe Gerard as a knowledgeable and capable intelligence officer, but say he has been an enigma within the department for years. ''He wanted to be perceived as a mysterious figure,'' said one law enforcement source, declining to be named. CIA CONNECTION Besides his intelligence gathering duties in the Police Department, several law enforcement sources said, Gerard did a stint with the CIA in the late 1970s or early '80s -- although the details of his CIA connection have always been vague. Police personnel records show he took a leave of absence from the Police Department from 1980 to 1983. Gerard also served as the Police Department's official liaison to the FBI in the early 1980s, and apparently continued to have access to many of its files in his most recent job as a member of the Police Department's Gang Task Force. But law enforcement sources have confirmed that an investigation was begun several months ago with cooperation between the FBI and local district attorney's office. It is unclear precisely how authorities became aware of Gerard's supposed illegal dealings. Sources say local charges could involve theft and computer fraud. FEDERAL CHARGES POSSIBLE Gerard could also face federal charges involving his failure to register as a foreign agent, as well as possible computer-related violations. But some wonder if Gerard will actually face prosecution. While still on the police force, Gerard moonlighted as a security guard with Philippine Airlines. Since the search, he has left the country and is believed to be building a new home for himself in the Philippines. ============================================================ ARAB AMERICANS DEMAND PROBE OF REPORT ON FILES >BYLINE: Teresa Moore, Chronicle Staff Writer >[JANUARY 16, 1993, SATURDAY, FINAL EDITION, Pg.

We believe that immigration is good in concept (many of us are recent immigrants or otherwise active in immigrant communities), but that current immigration policies are not working. We are working for _responsible_ reform of those policies. We invite you to join our e-mail list if you have concerns regarding any of the following topics: ---- Welfare use by legal immigrants. For instance, welfare use by elderly legal immigrants increased by 400% in the last ten years. Typically, these seniors are placed on welfare by their naturalized-citizen children, who are reneging on promises made, as a condition for immigration, to support their parents and keep them off welfare. Even immigrant advocacy groups now concede that welfare is a magnet which draws many to this country. ---- Overly liberal INS and DOL granting of work visas (H-1B and employment-based green cards) to foreign nationals, typically in the computer industry. The policy was warranted during the 1980s, when the industry had a labor shortage, but now the industry has matured and a labor surplus exists. Employer motivation here is a desire for cheap, compliant labor (one General Dynamics subcontractor even referred to the foreign nationals' status as "indentured"). Meanwhile, the talents of new university graduates and layed-off defense engineers are going to waste. ---- Adverse economic impacts of legal and illegal immigration on minorities, including native-born African-Americans and Asian-Americans, and earlier-arriving Asian and Latino immigrants. Even the stridently pro-immigrant Urban Institute has now conceded that such problems do exist. As a result, poll after poll in the last several years has shown that a majority of African-, Asian- and Latino- Americans wish to see reductions in both legal and illegal immigration. ---- Adverse environmental impacts of legal and illegal immigration. California, for instance, is projected to have severe water crises within the next decade, primarily due to population growth, fueled mainly by immigration. ---- Bilingual education.

Australia's 95% White majority is facing a racial threat from an ever increasing influx of Asians who now make up 4% of the total population of roughly 18 million.

The CP'86 developed from an old party which was founded in 1980's under the name Center Party. The word Center was in a meaning of being not capitalist and not communist. An early form of Third Way politics in The Netherlands. In 1984 there was a split and the more radical fraction, they reformed under the name Center Party '86, CP'86. In the beginning of the 90's there's a large group of young people who became members of the CP'86 and than the politics became pretty much radical, more or less like the BNP in England. Because the old fraction which was sort of kicked out of the Center Party reformed under the name CD instead of CP we had to change our name, and that was in November 1994. We changed our name to National People's Party/CP'86. Our politics have become more educational, radical, we try to break away from mainstream right-wing politics, and we now say that we're national revolutionary. We think in the Third Position way. *Recently you are engaged in a trial against your propaganda, that they take as racist. Could you tell us more about the trial? Yes, In September '93, our houses were searched, the houses of our members of our board, the presidium. They tried to locate weapons and all sorts of illegal things. But since they didn't manage in that we were trailed for our propaganda, which we used in elections in 1994, mainly for town-councils and for parliament. Because they couldn't find anything blatantly racist or blatantly anti-Jewish they now try to convict us on our usual very mild form of propaganda. I think the people in the States wouldn't understand what the fuss is all about. The only thing we say is, that there's more black criminals than white criminals, we don't even say that's a biological thing. We just happen to see things clearly. *What are the consequences of the trial? In the 2nd of May in 95 we were convicted as being a criminal organization, with some heavy fines for the members and for the party, also jail sentences on probation. Of course we will take this to a higher court, because we think if we really get convicted there will be no more nationalist opposition in The Netherlands, and probably elsewhere in Europe because the European Union is working closely together to out-ban every form of nationalist movement. *Could you say more specificly what they consider illegal slogans or propaganda? One of our leaflets was a post against the multiracial society which we think is not more than a waste bin were they mix cultures, where they get out the one-world idea, the MTV, Coca Cola sort of thing. An other leaflet read "Don't let yourself be discriminated just because you're Dutch". And an other on which is one of our main slogans read "Our own people first". Which is also the slogan of the fourth biggest party in Flanders and if they ban it in The Netherlands there's a big change they'll try to ban the Flemish Block also. Which means nearly 20% of the Flemish voters will be convicted as criminals in some sort of way. *Thank you You're welcome. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Arisch Nieuws Agentschap - Nederland + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- "Trouw Is Een Daad" 88/14 _ADL Releases Report On Militias_ (ANA) According to a report released yesterday (6/17/95) by the Anti-Defamation Leagu(ADL), membership in "paramilitary militias" has increased since the Oklahoma City bombing. The report, which was based on surveys of local police reports conducted by the ADL and "anecdotal information," says that there are 15,000 militia members in at least 40 states. The ADL accuses militia groups of stockpiling weapons and says that the militias use fax networks and the Interne"to promote their conspiratorial, anti-government, anti-gun control, and sometimes anti-Semitic message." ===== _National Front Victorious_ (ANA) The "far-right" National Front Party of France has achieved several victories iFrench elections today (6/19/95). The city of Toulon, whose population is 170,000, has elected a member of the Front as mayor. The southern cities of Marignane and Orange also elected mayors from the Front. Defense Minister Charles Million called the victories "a genuine fracture of society." A coalition of anti-racism groups told civic groups in Toulon, Marignane and Orange to moblize against the Front.

In Jackson's new song "They Don't Care About Us" he sings "jew me, sue me, everybody do me, kick me, kike me, don't you black and white me." Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center for"Holocaust" Studies, Rabbi Marvin Hier, said "It's the ambiguity that I'm afraidof when it reaches his 20 million buyers around the world." Regional director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, David A. Lehrer, wondered why Jackson singled out Jews. He said "The words are hateful and hurtful, and hate is too serious a subject for subtleties." Lehrer and Hier suggested that Jackson place a clear explanation of this song on the album and on the video. During the television show "PrimeTime Live" Wednesday night, Jackson denied he was racist and said the song refers to himself as the victim. He said "I love all races...My three best friends are Jewish -- David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenbergand Steven Spielberg." In another line on the song "They Don't Care About Us" Jackson sings "skinhead, deadhead, everybody, gone bad, situation, aggravation, everybody, allegation...Set me free." Rabbi Hier said he believes Jackson because he recalls his reaction when he visited Museum of Tolerance at the Wiesenthal Center. Hier said "He was visibly and emotionally shaken...So I knowenough to say that Michael Jackson is not a bigot or anti-Semite." ===== Racist Yearbook Message Results In Suspension Five Greenwich, Conn. High School students were suspended Monday after school officials questioned them about their involvement in the placing of a message of racial hatred in the school yearbook. The yearbook photograph captions contained words and letters which spelled out "Kill All Niggers" beneath the pictures of the five graduating seniors, all of them White males. At the end of a caption under one student's picture appeared the word "kill." Under a second was the word "ALL." The third, fourth and fifth captions end: "ni," "gg" "ERS." The pictures were on various pages of the yearbook. After the yearbook was released Monday the message was discovered when a student who was allegedly involved in putting it there bragged to friends, school superintendent John Whritner said. The suspensions may prevent them from graduating next week because they will be unable to write their exams or attend the graduation ceremony. Police said that as part of their investigation they are also "concerned about possible civil rights violations," Whritner said. When the five students were questioned they said the message was just a coincidence and the words or letters in their captions' each stood for something of significance to them. "We do not believe their response." Said the school's headmistress, Eileen Petruzillo. Blacks make up about 3 percent of the roughly 2,000 students who attend Greenwich high school. "Racism is not a problem at the school ," said school superintendent John Whritner, "but I'm afraid that this act will tarnish the reputation of the graduating class." "Of all senior classes this one has done the most towards enhancing relations between the races," Whritner added. "They even had a diversity week this year." He said he planned to send a letter out to all parents, and the school faculty would take out a full-page newspaper advertisement condemning the act. ========== To Join the ANA Mailing list contact: bf221@freenet.carleton.ca From xenith@clam.rutgers.edu Wed Jun 21 18:05:58 PDT 1995 Article: 16769 of alt.skinheads Path: news.port.island.net!news.island.net!news.bc.net!unixg.ubc.ca!vanbc.wimsey.com!news.mindlink.net!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!news.sprintlink.net!cs.utexas.edu!uunet!in1.uu.net!dziuxsolim.rutgers.edu!clam.rutgers.edu!not-for-mail From: xenith@clam.rutgers.edu (Marcus) Newsgroups: alt.skinheads Subject: Order Today Date: 19 Jun 1995 11:01:47 -0400 Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 22 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3s43gr$h82@clam.rutgers.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: clam.rutgers.edu "Aryan Homeland," by Lightning Rod.

In the last part I detailed how U.S. immigration policy since 1965 ended up bringing into this country immigrants who mostly came from the Third World with low levels of education and skills, while excluding others. This phenomenon was unlikely to be a co-incidence. A newspaper article published a survey recently that showed the vast majority of Hispanic and Asian ("Asian" does NOT mean just the prosperous parts of Asia. The largest groups of Asian immigrants are from India, Pakistan, the Phillipines and P.R. China.) voters are Democratic voters. In fact I remember one article in 1988 predicting that Michael Dukakis would capture Texas because of the Hispanic vote. It seems unlikely to be a co-incidence that only a few months into a Republican Congress, we see proposals to cut down drastically on the kind of immigration allowances that have produced the above result. It is admittedly politicking as usual, but in this case it seems to be a blessing for American society. American society was founded on the principle of personal responsibility. Yet Chinese immigrants routinely exploit the American welfare state. (I can only speak for the Chinese community of which I'm a part. I suspect other immigrant communities to be much the same. Witness the large numbers of Hispanic women coming here illegally to have their babies delivered for free -- "two birds with one stone".) I have witnessed so many families working a familiar scheme: one member of an extended family would gain a foothold here based on either employment or marriage to a U.S. citizen (the marriage could be either real or a sham). Then he would wait 3-5 years to gain U.S. citizenship, at which time he can bring his parents here. Once the parents arrive, they are each eligible for a few hundred dollars a month from the federal government, an entitlement called Social Supplement Income. (They would not be eligible for Social Security, since they haven't worked a day in this country.) SSI is meant for senior citizens whose Social Security payments are insufficient, but are granted to the new immigrants EVEN THOUGH THE RELATIVE SPONSORING THEIR IMMIGRATION HAS SIGNED AN AFFIDAVIT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE IMMIGRANTS' SUPPORT.) Fraudulant applications are routinely filed that claim "financial hardship" on the part of the immigrants, after money is transferred between a few bank accounts within the family. With some luck, the parents may even be given subsidized, low-cost (and very nice) elderly housing. Is it any co-incidence that minorities vote Democratic? This is not even to mention that the parents are immediately eligible (upon The original immigrant-cum-citizen is able to apply for his adult, married siblings to come here. A married immigrant can of course bring his spouse and under-age children. But after a few years, all the spouses will be able to start a whole new cycle as above. So here we have one immigrant (who PERHAPS will benefit American society) bringing in a entire sleuth of people who are likely to have no special desirability by this country. The very fact that they are willing to come here likely means that they didn't make much of their lives back home. Since 1965 it was mostly this kind of immigrants who came to this ccuntry. U.S. absorbs 50% of the world's migration flow. It's about time that the Jordan committee and Congressman Smith have come up with proposals to eliminate immigration for non-nuclear family members.

Lamar Smith introduces immigration reform bill Status: O PRESSRELEASE The Software Professionals' Political Action Committee 311 Ranch Rd 620 S, Ste. 209 Austin, TX 78734 For Immediate Release Date: June 21, 1995 Chairman of House Immigration Committee introduces Immigration Reform Bill Austin, TX--Lamar Smith, Chairman of the House subcommittee on Immigration and Claims introduced legislation today to reform the United States immigration system. In a news conference on Capitol Hill, Mr. Smith said that "immigrants have made tremendous contributions to America throughout our history and I want that to continue." But he added that his bill was designed to transform immigration policy from one that serves special interests to one serving national interests. "It doesn't matter where immigrants come from," Smith said, "What's important is where they're going." Mr. Smith's bill echo's many of the recommendations made two weeks ago by the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform--which is chaired by Barbara Jordan--regarding legal immigration. Family-Based Immigration reduced Specifically, it would reduce the number of "family reunification" categories to just three: spouses and unmarried children under 21 of U.S. citizens; spouses and unmarried children under 21 of legal permanent residents; and parents of U.S. citizens. For spouses and children of U.S. citizens, there would be no annual limit on admissions. For the nuclear family of legal permanent residents there would be a limit of 85,000 a year; and for parents of U.S. citizens the limit would be set at 50,000 a year. These categories would be subject to an overall cap of 330,000. But in addition, over the next five year period, 50,000 visas a year would be available to spouses and children of legal permanent residents to reduce the back-log in this category, which currently can last as long as three years. Employment-Based Immigration largely unchanged For employment-based immigrants, an annual quota of 135,000 slots would be available. This is 5,000 less than the current total. While the current mix of immigrants would remain largely unchanged, the 10,000 slots now available for unskilled workers would be done away with. For what are labeled "humanitarian immigrants" an annual ceiling of 70,000 would be set. "Humanitarian immigrants" would include refugees, asylees and "other humanitarian immigrants." Steps to deal with illegal immigration Several sections of the bill deal with illegal immigrants. The number of border patrol agents would be increased by 5,000, the number of INS employer sanctions investigators would be increased by 350 while the number of Labor Department investigators would be increased by 150. The bill would establish an "employment eligibility confirmation system." Critics have labeled such a system a "national ID card" and have expressed concern about possible violations of privacy and civil liberties. Such a system was recommended last year by the Jordan Commission and has been endorsed by President Clinton. Public benefits denied to legal and illegal aliens The act also "specifies that illegal aliens are denied public benefits," according to a fact sheet issued by Mr. Smith's office. It would require applicants for Federal benefits to show documentation that they are eligible to receive benefits. Legal aliens would be defined as "public charges" if they were to receive benefits such as SSI, AFDC, Medicaid or Food Stamps for an aggregate of 12 months within seven years of the date of their admission and thus be subject to deportation. Sponsors of family-based immigrants would be required to "demonstrate the means to maintain an annual income equal to at least 200 percent of the poverty level." The sponsors income would be "deemed" to be available to the immigrant for purposes of applying for Federal benefits for seven years from the date of admission. Dealing with the H-1B mess In response to employers concerns about recently released Labor Department regulations regarding H-1B nonimmigrant visas, Mr. Smith's bill would exempt employers from investigations by the Labor Dept. in the absence of a complaint unless more than 10 percent of the employer's work force consisted of H-1B nonimmigrants. The 10 percent threshold would seem to be aimed at employers, commonly referred to as "body shops," that employ almost exclusively nonimmigrant workers. This practice has received a great deal of attention in the computer software industry with both "60 Minutes" and "48 Hours" having run stories about the displacement of American workers by foreign programmers. In addition, employers would be required to attest that "they have not laid off or displaced an American worker in the 6 months prior to filing the labor condition application for H-1B nonimmigrants, unless the employer pays the nonimmigrant worker 110 percent of the wage paid to the American worker." A no lay-off provision was sought by Secretary of Labor Robert Reich as long ago as 1993 but was not acted upon in the previous Congress. Reaction to Immigration Bill Reaction to the bill by Lawrence Richards, executive director of the Software Professionals' Political Action Committee, was mixed. "I am very happy to see that Mr. Smith has responded to our concerns about the impact of H-1B nonimmigrants on American software professionals," he said. "The no layoffs provision makes me cautiously optimistic that the experiences we have had at places like AIG will not happen again. But I will have to examine the language in more detail." In November of last year, American International Group, or AIG, laid-off 250 MIS workers and allowed them to be replaced by programmers from India working in the U.S. on H-1B visas according to a CBS "48 Hours" story. The Indian programmers were employed by a contract agency named Syntel Inc., of Troy Michigan. In April of this year, Syntel was found by the Labor Department to have "willfully" violated the wage provisions of the H-1B visa and fined $117,000 in back wages and civil penalties. Mr. Richards worked at IBM in Austin when he says his management started using H-1B programmers from India to replace higher paid American workers. In response, he quit his position as a software consultant to work full time trying to "reform the laws that were causing my coworkers to lose their jobs." Richards was also cautious about the 10 percent threshold on nonimmigrants employers may hire as envisioned in Rep. Smith's bill. "It might end the practice of companies hiring exclusively nonimmigrant workers," he said, "but it seems a very limited response to a situation where a company located in the U.S. feels free to not hire any Americans. But again, I will need to examine the language more closely." While cautiously optimistic about the proposed changes to the H- 1B law, Mr. Richards cautioned that this visa was only one of many temporary work visas that are subject to abuse. "There is an alphabet soup of visas available to foreign nationals that wish to work in the U.S. It is our position that if an foreigner wishes to work in the U.S., he should be an immigrant, not a guest worker. Temporary work visas 'indenture' foreigners to the company they are working for. This means that their wages are not set by the market, but by their employer." Without the freedom to seek work on the open market, Richards believes, foreigner "guest workers" are subject to exploitation at the expense of American workers. Skills Based Immigration "Should have been reduced" "The employment-based immigration numbers should have been reduced," stated Richards. "The 1990 Immigration Act increased the "skilled worker" category from about 23,000 a year to around 110,000 based on an assumption that we would have a shortage of scientists and engineers. Instead, unemployment for engineers has reached record high levels." Bureau of Labor Statistics data also shows the number of engineering jobs declined by 135,000 between 1990 and 1993. And Richards also noted that U.S. colleges have been graduating twice as many engineers as job openings being created through replacement. "Newsweek last December reported that new science Ph.D.s 'have unemployment rates like tailors at a nudist colony'. How can we then claim that we need more?" he asked. "It seems only right that since Congress was obviously misled about the need for engineers and scientists, it should reverse the policies it adopted based on that mistaken assumption." Richards also pointed to a 1992 Urban Institute report that found that of employment-based, family-based and illegal immigrants, the only types that were found to have a significant negative impact on native wages were employment-based immigrants. "Mr. Smith seems to feel we need to cut immigration. In that case, why not start with those immigrants which studies show hurt native wages? I would definitely support a limit of 25,000 employment based immigrants a year," said Richards. "This is a level that Rep. Bill Archer [ Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee] thought was appropriate in legislation he introduced last year. I hope that he will try to amend Mr. Smith's bill in this area." - end - **************************************************************************** * Software Professionals' Political Action Committee * * 311 Ranch Rd. 620 South, Suite 209 * * Austin, TX 78734 * * for more information, email "softpac-info@infoark.com" or * * gopher infoark.com or www http://infoark.com * **************************************************************************** From xenith@clam.rutgers.edu Sat Jun 24 22:55:50 PDT 1995 Article: 6038 of alt.politics.nationalism.white Path: news.port.island.net!news.island.net!news.bc.net!unixg.ubc.ca!vanbc.wimsey.com!news.mindlink.net!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!math.ohio-state.edu!cis.ohio-state.edu!rutgers!dziuxsolim.rutgers.edu!clam.rutgers.edu!not-for-mail From: xenith@clam.rutgers.edu (Marcus) Newsgroups: alt.politics.nationalism.white,alt.activism Subject: CensorThought in Canada Date: 22 Jun 1995 08:40:31 -0400 Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 18 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3sbobv$5dh@clam.rutgers.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: clam.rutgers.edu Xref: news.port.island.net alt.politics.nationalism.white:6038 alt.activism:64168 "Human Rights" Commission To Investigate Hot-Line The Canadian Human Rights Commission will investigate B.C. resident Charles Scott after a complaint claimed he is spreading "racist and anti- Semitic" ideas with his telephone hot-line.

Big Brother Covets the Internet by Daniel Brandt "The Internet offers intelligence agencies an amazing potential source for information collection and for monitoring the activities of their targets. They not only can plug into communications through the names of senders and receivers of e-mail, but also through keyword monitoring of messages as they have done for many years. If you add e-mail to their monitoring of telephone and other credit card transactions, they can get a very complete picture of a given person's activities. "On my long trips to the United States for university lecturing and other activities, such monitoring enables them to know my every flight, hotel and car rental, and local contacts, not to mention my complete itineraries. All this prior to my flight from Germany to the U.S. Add to this my other calls and bank transactions and you ahve almost every imaginable detail. It is a perfect system for spy agencies and getting better all the time." -- former CIA officer Philip Agee What the government giveth, the government can taketh away. This message has been received by Internet watchers recently, as Big Brother begins to confront the issue of online computer security. Internet hacking is at an all-time high, the Pentagon claims, just as big business is buying into the Internet in a big way. Something has to give. "Hackers are even better than communists," says one Washington activist who deals with civil rights and electronic privacy issues. Several weeks later, on November 22, 1994, NBC News with Tom Brokaw underscored his point with an alarmist segment by Robert Hager: A Pentagon unit is poised to combat unauthorized entries into some of the world's most sensitive computer systems. But despite all the safeguards and a computer security budget in the hundreds of millions of dollars, attempts were made to break into the Pentagon's computers on 254 separate occasions in the last twelve months alone, almost always through the Internet.... NBC News has learned that intrusions into the Defense Department's computers go unreported 98 percent of the time -- 98 percent! -- often because no one is aware information is being pirated. Pentagon officials are worried the nation's security is being compromised. Only Joe McCarthy knows how Robert Hager came up with a figure of 98 percent for undetected break-ins, and then pretended it was worth repeating. Hager continued with his voice-over and began talking about hackers breaking into one nameless hospital's records and reversing the results of a dozen pap smears. Patients who may have had ovarian cancer, Hager claimed, were told instead that they were okay. If this were an isolated story, then the Newsgroup subscribers on who reacted to Hager's segment, by speculating that something must be behind it, might be dismissed for weaving yet another paranoid thread. But here I have to agree that even if you're paranoid, they still might be after you. On this story, at least, NBC seems to be the mouthpiece for larger forces. "Organized Crime Hackers Jeopardize Security of U.S." reads the headline in "Defense News" (October 3-9, 1994). This article reported on a conference sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a prestigious Washington think tank with close connections to the intelligence community. Dain Gary from the Computer Emergency Response Team in Pittsburgh, a hacker-buster group funded by the Pentagon, claimed that "there are universities in Bulgaria that teach how to create more effective viruses." Mr. Gary did not respond to my letter requesting more information. The government started the Internet, and then over a period of years it lost control. This was partly due to the unique architecture of the Internet, which has its roots in a 1964 Rand Corporation proposal for a post-Doomsday network. Rand's idea was that information packets could contain their own routing information, and would not have to rely on centralized switching. Anarchy, it seems, is the best antidote to vulnerable communications systems. Recently the government, due to a combination of tight budgets and a trend toward deregulation, has allowed big business to take over the main conduits, or "backbone" of the Net. Corporations smell a huge potential cybermarket, and are investing money to get themselves positioned on the Net. They want to be ready when it comes time to harvest the expected profits. Today we have a global network with 30 million users. No one is in control, and no one can pull the plug. If one telecommunications company decided to shut off the segment of the Net that they administer, other companies could simply route their traffic around them. And if it weren't for password protection and the "firewalls" installed by corporations to protect their local turf from other computers, each of Internet's users would have access to all the other computers on the Net. Passwords and firewalls don't always work. A hacker who burrows in and obtains the right sort of access can watch the passwords of other users fly by, and can capture them for later use. In November 1994, General Electric's robust firewalls were circumvented by hackers, according to a company spokeswoman, and GE had to pull their computers off the Net for a week to revamp their security procedures. In two other incidents, a group of hackers calling itself the Internet Liberation Front managed to break into systems. On one they posted a message warning corporate America against turning the Internet into a "cesspool of greed." So Big Brother has a problem. But it's not so much a problem of national security, except perhaps in the broad sense of economic vulnerability. Defense and intelligence systems that are classified are not connected to the Internet. When the Pentagon complains to NBC about national security, what they really mean is that they might have to forego the convenience of Internet contacts with their contractors, and use other means instead. No, Big Brother in this case is not the Pentagon, it's really big business. They're chomping at the Net's information bits, while the computer security problem is reining them back. Until this problem is solved, the Net cannot be used for serious commercial transactions. Big business seems to be feeding scare stories to the media, and the Pentagon is helping them out by raising the time-tested bugaboo of national security -- the only surefire way to scare Congress into repressive legislation. America leads the world in information technology, and the Internet is potentially a lucrative link in tomorrow's profit chain. If only those pesky hackers would go away. The hackers that do exist are grist for the system's disinformation mill, so if they didn't exist the system would probably have to invent them. The bottom line for those whose opinions matter is that the Internet has potential to help the rich get richer. Hackers belong in jail, of course, but there's also the Net surfer who's clogging bandwidth with idle chatter, or even swapping copyrighted material with their friends. Frequently this unprofitable silliness is subsidized by the universities. All big business wants from these folks is consumption -- they may browse through online catalogs and debit their credit lines, but forget all this virtual community stuff. It's got to go. The way to reboot the system is to boot the little guy, and the best way to do this has always been to let the government bash some heads. The digital equivalent of this is the one-two punch of the Clipper chip and the Digital Telephony Bill. Clipper is an ongoing government effort to encourage the mass marketing of a encryption standard that can be tapped by them. It was developed with help from the National Security Agency (NSA), which is worried about the emergence of encryption that can't be easily broken by their supercomputers. The FBI's favorite is the Digital Telephony Bill, which was passed without debate by Congress last October. It forces telecommunications companies to modify their digital equipment so that the government has access to wiretapping ports when they come calling with a warrant. Warrants? When was the last time the intelligence community took warrants seriously? Just in case a few of them get nervous while breaking the law, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 set up a secret court to issue warrants in situations involving a foreign threat. This court has yet to turn down a single request put before it -- even rubber stamps don't perform this well. All it would take is a vague rumor of a Bulgarian virus with Russian organized crime lurking close behind, and presto, a secret warrant is issued to tap the Internet backbone so that U.S. spooks can look for nasty digital germs. The judges aren't competent to evaluate technical rumors, and with their track record, no one pretends that they will call in their own experts. Why bother, since the proceedings are secret and there's no accountability? But then, who needs a warrant? According to reports, the NSA, Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), and Canada's Communications Security Establishment, all practice what might be termed the "sister agency gambit." They do this by stationing liaison officers in each of the other agencies. When they want to tap their own citizens without a warrant, they just call over the liaison officer to throw the switch. Now it's called "intelligence from a friendly foreign agency" and it's all legal. Particularly with the Internet, where jurisdictional problems involve many nations, this sort of transnational cooperation will be the rule rather than the exception. The excuse for monitoring the Net today might be the security problem. Tomorrow the security problem may be solved, one way or another, and the Net will be used for commercial transactions. Then the excuse for monitoring will be the need to detect patterns of commerce indicative of money laundering, much like FinCen does today. FinCen, the Financial Crime Enforcement Network, monitors Currency Transaction Reports from banks, and other records from over 35 financial databases, as well as NSA intercepts of wire transfers into and out of the U.S. This data is shared with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), CIA, DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), IRS, FBI, BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms), and the Secret Service. FinCen, which began in 1990, is an attempt to track, cross-reference, and apply artificial-intelligence modeling to all the relevant data from government agencies. Now they are floating a proposal for a deposit tracking system. When the Internet begins carrying financial transactions, FinCen is sure to be poking around behind the scenes. One characteristic of the Internet is that surveillance on a massive scale is easy to accomplish. With telephone voice or fax transmissions, the digital signal is an approximation of the analog signal. Massive computing power, relatively speaking, is needed to extract the content in the form of words or numbers. This is called "speech recognition" for voice, or "optical character recognition" for fax. Data on the Internet, on the other hand, is already in the form that computers use directly. Moreover, each packet conveniently includes the address of the sender and receiver. It's a simple matter to tap an Internet backbone and scan every packet in real time for certain keywords. With voice and fax, it's only practical to capture specific circuits, and then examine them later for content. On the Internet, even encryption doesn't solve the privacy problem, because the Net is also ideal for message traffic analysis. A stream of encrypted messages between two points could be detected by a computer, which then spits out a report that's sure to attract attention. Each end of this stream is now identified as a target, which means that other types of surveillance are now practical. The Internet, in other words, increases opportunities for surveillance by many orders of magnitude, with or without encryption. Those who have the resources can try to befuddle the spooks who monitor them by disguising their transactions. Shell corporations, off-shore banks, and cash-intensive businesses will still be popular with money launderers. Seemingly innocent transactions will slip through the net, and for the most part only the little guy without transnational resources will get caught. Which is exactly the point. The little guy on the Net is surfing on borrowed time. There are too many pressures at work, too many powerful interests to consider. The Net is too important to the Suits -- if not now, then soon. If it were only a case of Us and Them, it would be easier to sort it all out. But the self-styled Internet Liberation Front, and similar types with hacker nonethics, are part of the problem as surely as the greedy capitalists. Nor is it easy to see much hope in the way the little guy -- the one who obeys the law -- has used the Internet. The entire experiment has left us with 30 million connections but very little public-sector content. Apart from the sense of community found in Newsgroups, list servers, and e-mail, not much is happening in cyberspace. And just how deep is this community when the crunch comes? Not nearly as deep as the counterculture of the 1960s, and look what happened to them. Rand Corporation, meanwhile, is churning out studies on cyberwar, netwar, and information warfare. The Defense Department, at the urging of their Advanced Research Projects Agency (which started the Internet), recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Justice Department, at the urging of the FBI and the National Institute of Justice. This memorandum anticipates a coordinated effort on high-tech applications for "Operations Other Than War" and "Law Enforcement." The game is on, and the high-tech high rollers are getting it together. The neat graphics and sassy prose in "Wired" and "Mondo 2000" magazines notwithstanding, the Net-surfing culture is more virtual than real. Cyberspace cadets are no match for the real players, and it's going to be like taking candy from a baby. Lots of squeals, but nothing to raise any eyebrows. It's all so much spectacle anyway. Guy Debord (1932-1994) summed it up in "Society of the Spectacle" in 1967, when Rand was still tinkering with their Doomsday idea: The technology is based on isolation, and the technical process isolates in turn. From the automobile to television, all the goods selected by the spectacular system are also its weapons for a constant reinforcement of the conditions of isolation of "lonely crowds." The spectacle constantly rediscovers its own assumptions more concretely.... In the spectacle, which is the image of the ruling economy, the goal is nothing, development everything. The spectacle aims at nothing other than itself. Then again, the Spectacle does make for excellent Internet watching, once silly notions like "information wants to be free" are discarded, and the drama can be enjoyed for what it is. Basically, it's one more example of something that happens frequently in history. The little guy thinks he has created something new and powerful. He's so busy congratulating himself, that when the Big Dogs begin to notice, the little guy doesn't. In the end, it's merely another dog-bites-man nonstory that won't be found on NBC News. This just in: "Little guy gets screwed." END END END Flatland can be reached at PO Box 2420, Fort Bragg CA 95437-2420, Tel: 707-964-8326.

However, they will be forced to spend time this summer seeing "the full spectrum of black people -- from the homeless to the Colin Powells." Roy Innis, chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, met with the lawyers of the youths and school officials and worked out an agreement. The youths agreed to spend the summer meeting Blacks, Asians, Hispanics and other minorities from all socio-economic levels. A similar incident took place in a New York City school -- five seniors are accused of sending an "anti-Semitic" note to a Jewish teacher. They allegedly sent a note with a swastika on it to the teacher and are now charged by the police with aggravated harassment. The youths had been suspended for a week and banned from their graduation ceremony. On Tuesday, the Chancellor of the school had changed his mind and allowed the youths to attend their ceremony, but changed his mind back again the next day after faculty members threatened a boycott if the youths attended the ceremony. ===== To be added to the ANA Mailing list contact: bf221@freenet.carleton.ca From xenith@clam.rutgers.edu Sat Jun 24 23:13:58 PDT 1995 Article: 16962 of alt.skinheads Path: news.port.island.net!news.island.net!news.bc.net!info.ucla.edu!library.ucla.edu!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!usc!rutgers!dziuxsolim.rutgers.edu!clam.rutgers.edu!not-for-mail From: xenith@clam.rutgers.edu (Marcus) Newsgroups: alt.skinheads Subject: Re: Starkman?

The Internet was formulated in the last few decades to evolve as it is today. This self-evolution was created out of need for many things-but it was created by those whose need shaped the paths of the Internet. The modern Internet has become a dynamic place which is now under opposition and control from values, restrictions and laws that were created for the needs and ways of life of of the last few centuries. This is long before the Internet was even a scientists experiment. How can they even perceive what the Internet has the potential of becoming in the next few decades. I understand their fear, they took their power in an industrial era. The transition into another era is happening. This will happen regardless of what anyone may expect. How it is shaped in the future is now going to be an ever-changing issue, like many others in our society. Without an inner-voice, the Internet may evolve in ways more influenced by external factors than internal ones. The Internet Users Consortium hopes to become a voice from the Internet community. The members of the community should decide the uses and appearances of that community. All we need is a louder voice. Our government, like many, fails to listen, unless its constituents have a strong voice. I hope this sparks your interest in taking interest in an organized voice for the Internet. Find out about the groups in your area, if you do not have one-let us help you start one. ________________________________________________ Voices ________________________________________________ A friend with sreen name colley says, 'Someone aught to make a WWW Site with links to e-mail each senator congressman etc that has addresses...'

What purposes are you thinking of meeting in the community you envision? I am marginally interested in political action alone. A community, I believe, needs more than just that, to become one. You are correct, sir. There is much more that will inevitable evolve from the formation of organizations designed to protect people in the Internet Community from outsiders, such as our governments, who see it as a reelection issue or a political favors issue. Unfortunately they cannot allow us our freedom. The Internet Community is a diverse place with its own standards of what is acceptable and what is not. The Internet Users Consortium's primary concern is the open expression of our thoughts and opinions, and to continue having this distinction from the outworld. At this point in history, it appears that our first concern is establishing the Internet as a distinct Community. It is no longer the research toy of a few scholars and military scientists. They have done what they could not have imagined-created a new form of life and a new way of community. We must now establish ourselves as a distinct form of life-grateful for our creation but with no desire to become another form of wasted technology for commercial exploitation by billion dollar conglomerates. __________________________________ Opinions __________________________________ EYGV46A, a frustrated Internet user declares, 'It is necessary that we continue communications regarding the censorship and invasion of privacy issues...they are taking away our rights and we sit passively too often!'

Obviously the majority of net users in NZ don't want this to happen... ' It is so sad that politicians are playing their little politician games, and we are the cannon fodder. They are using the Internet for paying back favors and regaining the support of this or that group of votes. Note we are no longer people, but votes. The white male vote, the black male vote, the under 30 vote, etc... A user who wished to remain anonymous exclaims, 'Just to put things in perspective, I'm not an anarchist or paranoid wacko who thinks the government is out to get us. I'm actually an officer in the Air Force, an air traffic controller and commercial pilot (though I don't fly much any more) and I KNOW the government is out to get us, not due to a conscious effort, but due to A LOSS OF TOUCH WITH REAL PEOPLE. A perfect example is when former President Bush thought that optical scanners in the supermarkets were incredible! Politicians who are involved with neither criminals, poverty, nor guns, are making decisions for the people who are on the front lines daily. Ask a real street cop about gun control. I got another one; in the election before last, a reporter asked a senator what the price of bread was.... Faster than a speeding bullet, he changed the subject. Your right they shouldn't pass laws on things that effect us everyday when they don't know what we have to deal with everyday. Adam in Guam points out how the government might proceed to censor the newsgroups: "We are already feeling the bite of this new bill. There are several of us here that feel that we have the right to access the alt.sex newsgroups and others. We had only been receiving alt.pantyhose and now that's gone. Because our server is the sole provider on Guam, they have a monopoly on I-Net here." KEvin suggests an interesting idea that we would love to hear opinions on: "Perhaps what we need is a political party. Call it the ELectronic Freedom party, or ELF. A vote for ELF is a vote for the little guy ;-) we could hold our caucus on-line, and our "contract with America" could be that we will abide by electronic democracy. on any issue, we will have a forum set up for people to vote. after so many votes (say 100,000 just for arguments sake) we (whatever people get elected) will vote that way in whatever bodies we are elected to. we run candidates in every district, (we should certainly have the people to draw upon) we run our campaigns on the net, so that if someone puts out a mudball commercial, it can be rebutted right then and there. In the manner to which we have all become accustomed. if we can get the support of the Netizens, we should be able to win several seats, enough to form a real voting block." __________________________________ Concerns __________________________________ What you can do __________________________________ If you would like to know the Senator or Representative in Washington DC who is representing the views of your state, please email us with your respective state (or any you are interested in) and we will provide the names and numbers (and email addresses if they have one) to you.

The state is third behind New York and California in having the largest immigrant population, Florida says it costs $2.5 billion a year to provide for both legal and illegal immigrants. (Florida Govenor's Office) Education Florida's education costs for both legal and illegal immigrants in 1993 were $517.6 million, which is up 24 percent from 1992's expenditure of $418.5 million. The state spent $254 million alone on the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program. ("The Unfair Burden: Immigration's Impact on Florida," March 1994, Florida Governor's Office). Education for illegal aliens totaled $180.4 million in 1993. This number represents another 24 percent increase in costs from the previous year when illegal alien education was $145.9 million. The increase is due to the rise in illegal aliens arriving in Florida. (Ibid.) Health Care and Welfare Health and welfare services for both legal and illegal aliens cost Florida $39.4 million in 1993, which is up by almost $10 million from the $29.4 million spent in 1992. These costs include -Medicaid costs and include numbers from Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration and Health and Rehabilitative Services. (Ibid.) Welfare costs for illegal immigrants in Florida have driven the state to deny foster care for children of illegal aliens. (Washington Times, February 12, 1994) Crime About 4,100 of Florida's prisoners are immigrants, and 1,400 of those inmates are illegal aliens. (New York-Times, April 9, 1994) According to Florida's lawsuit against the federal government, Chiles v. United States, et al., the state says it pays $58.6 million a year to incarcerate criminal aliens. Over the decade: $52.6 million from 1988-1993 for the Mariel Reimbursement program $130.7 million from 1998-93 for other incarcerations $33.1 million from 1980-1993 for probation and parole $33.6 million from 1980-1993 for public infrastructure for criminal justice (Tampa Tribune, Februrary 25, 1994) On April 8, 1994, Florida prison officials settled a first-of-its-kind agreement with the Immigration and Naturalization Service to deport 500 to 1,000 criminal aliens being held in the state's prisons. On average, prisoners in Florida serve only 41 percent of their sentence because the jails are so crowded. (New York Times, April 9, 1994) Environment Due to the rapid population expansion in Florida from more than a decade of high-level immigration to the area, the Western Florida Bay is rapidly becoming an ecological disaster. About 450 square miles of the bay, termed the "dead zone' by local fishermen, have turned from clear waters with teeming sea life to pea-green gruel. Experts theorize that development has drastically' reduced the flow of fresh water across the Everglades' sawgrass prairie, changing water temperatures, increasing salinity levels and killing off sea animals and plants. (The Miami Herald, August 11, 1992) The change in the Florida Bay also threatens the delicate coral reef off the Florida Keys which depends on stable and precise water conditions for its survival.(Ibid.) What is the FLA-187 COMMITTEE, INC.? We're a non partisan Political Action Committee (PAC) formed by concerned Florida voters who want to make a positive change for Florida next November. We're truly a grassroots effort, created and staffed by volunteers. OUR GOAL: Place four (4) Petitions regarding illegal immigration on the November 1996 ballot. WHAT OUR FOUR PETITIONS WILL DO: * End welfare benefits for illegal immigrants * End public education benefits for illegal immigrants * Require state and local government to cooperate with immigration officials * Implement English as the official language of Florida FLA-187 Committee, Inc., PO Box 110 - Boca Raton, FL 33429- 0110 1-407-393-6547 voice 1-407-393-6277 FAX PLEASE COPY AND DISTRIBUTE FREELY From xenith@clam.rutgers.edu Fri Jun 30 15:20:26 PDT 1995 Article: 22923 of alt.revisionism Path: news.port.island.net!news.island.net!news.bc.net!unixg.ubc.ca!nntp.cs.ubc.ca!psgrain!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!news-e1a.megaweb.com!newstf01.news.aol.com!uunet!in1.uu.net!dziuxsolim.rutgers.edu!clam.rutgers.edu!not-for-mail From: xenith@clam.rutgers.edu (Marcus) Newsgroups: alt.politics.nationalism.white,alt.skinheads,alt.revisionism Subject: New Nationalistic BBS in Norway Date: 27 Jun 1995 14:08:19 -0400 Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 32 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3sphej$csv@clam.rutgers.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: clam.rutgers.edu Xref: news.port.island.net alt.politics.nationalism.white:6223 alt.skinheads:17302 alt.revisionism:22923 -=<>=- ANA -=<>=- New Nationalistic BBS in Oslo, Norway 6 months after the norwegian databas 'Nasjonal Allianse BBS' was effectively shut down by the media abd press groups, a new nationalistic BBS opened yesterday.

Remer is a German chemist who wrote a paper saying the gas chambers in Auschwitz were a jewish hoax. He was sentenced on charges of incitement and racial hatred. Remer reportedly paid Germar Scheerer to test bricks at Auschwitz for deadly cyanide. Scheerer found nothing and was later fired from his job at the Max Planck Institute after publishing his findings. The judge in this case, Dietmar Mayer, called Scheerer an anti-semite who is "fanatically committed" to denying the "holocaust." Remer has already been charged with racial hatred and has been living under house arrest in Spain since 1992.
