THE EDUCATION OF
A CONSERVATIVE
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Revilo
Pendleton Oliver, Professor of; the
Classics at the University of Illinois
for 32 years, is a scholar of inter-
national distinction who has writ-
ten articles in four languages for the
most prestigious academic publi-
cations in the United States and
Europe,,
During World War II, Dr. Oliver
was Director of Research in a high-
ly secret agency of the War Depart-
ment, and was cited 'for outstanding
service to his country.
One of the very few acade-
’ micians who has been outspoken in
his opposition to the progressive
defacement of our civilization, Dr. Oliver has long insisted that the
fate of his countrymen hangs on their willingness to subordinate
their doctrinal differences to the tough but idealistic solidarity
which is the prerequisite of a Majority resurgence.

On the 18th Amendment (Prohibition): “Very few Americans were*
sufficiently sane to perceive that they had repudiated the American
conception of government and had replaced it with the legal
principle of the ‘dictatorship of the -proletariat,* which was the
theoretical justification* of the Jews* revolution in Russia.”

On Race: “We must further understand that all races naturally
regard themselves as superior to all others. We think Congoids
unintelligent, but they feel only contempt for a race so stupid or
craven that it fawns on them, gives them votes, lavishly subsidizes
them with its own earnings, and even oppresses its own people to
curry their favor, We are a race as are the others. If we attribute to
ourselves a superiority, intellectual, moral,, or other, in terms of our
own standards, we are simply indulging in a tautology. The only
objective criterion of superiority, among human races as among all
other species, is biological: the strong survive, the weak perish. The
superior race of mankind today is the one that will emerge
victorious-whether by its technology or its fecundity— from the
proximate struggle for life on an overcrowded planet/*

FREEDOM OF SPEECH— FREEDOM OF THOUGHT I
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION I
The editor-publisher of Liberty Bell does not necessarily agree with I
each and every article in this magazine, nor does he subscribe to all I
conclusions arrived at by various writers; however, he does endeavor I
to permit the exposure of ideas suppressed by the controlled news 8
media of this country. 1
It is, therefore, in the best tradition of America and of free men I
everywhere that Liberty Bell strives to give free reign to ideas for I
ultimately it is ideas which rule the world and determine both the I
content and structure of culture. I
We believe that we can and will change our society for the better I
We declare our long-held view that no institution or government I
created by men, for men, is inviolable, incorruptible, and not subject 1
to evolution, change or replacement by the will of the people. I
To this we dedicate our lives and our work. No effort will be spared I
and no idea will be allowed to go unexpressed if we think it will benefit f
the Thinking People, not only of America, but the entire world. I

BYPASSING THE CENSORSHIP
In Liberty Bell, March 1988, pp. 19-22, Jim Taylor reported
the sorry career of a Cuban brother and sister, Nestor and Gladys
Garcia, who were hired by our bungling C.I.A. to act as spies in
Cuba, and were watched and finally arrested by the Cuban Secret
Service. Americans learned about this episode only from Mr.
Taylor and this magazine.
On the first of April, Mr. Taylor learned from his private
sources that the siblings had been convicted by the Cuban court
and sentenced to eight years in prison. Cuba, however, did not
try to keep this fact seci’et. The news was broadcast by Radio
Havana, and tbe Cuban government says it specifically informed
the Associated Press, the New York Times, the Washington Post,
and the television news service of the American Broadcasting
System. So far as we have ascertained, no mention of the spies or
news of their conviction has appeared in any American publica-
tion, and Americans will first learn of the event from Mr. Taylor
and this notice in Liberty Bell.
THE CHRISTIAN NAZIS
As everyone knows, “Nazis” are lowly Aryans so wicked that
they do not worship Yahweh’s Yammering Yids or appreciate the
honor of being robbed and humiliated by those godly super-
humans. They are also called "Fascists” and "Aunteye-Seemites”
and many other things by the prostitutes who write in the Jews'
liepapers or jabber over the Jews’ hypnagogic picture-machines.
Most Western states have had organizations that wanted
their nations to become independent in fact as well as name, but
few of them attained such success that they could influence their
nation's destiny. In Italy, the Fascists rescued the kingdom from
"democratic” corruption. In Germany, the National Socialists
freed the nation from Jewish parasitism and by great heroism al-
most ensured the survival of our race. In Spain, the Falange

And m Romania, the Iron Guard defended White men against
their predators and for a time almost had their irresponsible and '
venal king under control. P e and

the Vatican but his eyes were on the nobler civilization of an-
cient Rome before it was corrupted by Oriental superstitions and

though the Falange delivered the Church in Spain from^he hor-
rors of Communist rale, its members were, for the most part
atheists and apiostics with a few deists of one kind or another.'
But Codreanu s Iron Guard was specifically Christian in its basic
or allv itsSf d °^f^ ation ' and ’ indeed - could accept no recruits,
or ally itself with leaders, who were not Christian.
Th ® re ? s a significant corollary. As Warren B. Heath pointed
out m his introduction to D. Bacu’s Anti-Humans, 1 the religious
difference prevented cooperation between the Iron Guard and
■, SOr A ' C - Cuza s Christian Defense League, although both
had the same primary objective, the liberation of Romania from
ommation and exploitation by its voracious and insatiable
parasites. In the name of Cuza's organization, ‘Christian’ was
probably used ambiguously to mean 'non-Jewish.' The
organization's leaders and publications were rationalistic. Accord-
mg to Heath, "Professor Cuza's creed was the elegant scepticism

with cold objectivity. And Octavian Goga... seems to have held at
heart a view of Christianity similar to that set forth in

1. The Anti-ffumms is a study of an experiment in dehumanization ear-
ned out m a prison on members of the Iron Guard who remained in
Romania after the capture and occupation of that country by the Soviet
division of the great Judaeo-Communist engine of destruction. It is a
painful but highly instructive story of the ferocious sadism of individuals
who might lead ordinary lives in a civilized and stable society, but who
probably because they have innate criminal tendencies, are dehumanized
2
Liberty Bell / May 1988
The Christian Defense League enlisted a considerable num-
* ber of well-educated men, probably the elite of Romania's limited
class of intellectuals (I use that word in its correct meaning, not
as American jabberwockies arrogate it to themselves). But I
believe that all who have studied closely the history of Romania
between 1923 and 1945 agree that the Christian Defense League
never had the slightest chance of attaining such political power
that it could sensibly influence the destiny of Romania. Codreanu,
wvith a specifically Christian organization that also called itself
the Legion of St. Michael the Archangel and meant it, almost at-
tained in Romania the position held by Mussolini in Italy and by
Hitler in Germany. It can be reasonably argued that he would
have succeeded, had he not had to face an obstacle they did not
have to surmount, a stupid and venal king.
The Iron Guard and the career of Comeliu Zelea Codreanu
deserve the closest study by all who are interested in the
dynamics of politics. They will bear in mind, of course, that
.. Romania differed profoundly in culture and population from the
United States, and was not so far gone down the road to perdi-
tion. They will also try to measure the force of what is now called
charisma, the effect of a leader's character and personality, as
distinct from his policies and programs.
The force of Codreanu's charisma is shown by the devotion
he inspired. Time has not withered it. Forty-five years and more
after he was murdered, forty years after their country was seized
by the Soviet arm of the Judaeo-Communists who triumphed in
1945, the loyal survivors of the Iron Guard are working to ensure
the preservation of the historical record by having the essential
documents translated into the major languages of Europe.
Codreanu's own candid account of his career has been trans-
■ lated into French, German, Italian, and Spanish. 2 The English
translation, For My Legionaries, was published in 1976 by
Editura "Libertatea" in Madrid, and may be obtained in this

This was followed in what is to be a series by The Nest
Leader’s Manual (Madrid, 1987; from Liberty Bell Publications
$4.00 + postage). Organizations for political action designate
their local units as cells, chapters, priories, commanderies, etc.
Codreanu selected for the primary units of the Legion the term
‘nest,' regarding it as a school from which would come disciplined
and resolute young men, prepared to fight to liberate their
country from the alien parasites who were devouring it. He was
doubtless influenced by the French use of nid in much the same
sense.
This edition, published by Editura "Libertatea,” is the only
authorized edition in English. I am asked to make it clear that a
truncated and mutilated printing of this translation in England
with the title Legion was unauthorized and is in many places in-
correct and misleading.
The book opens with a long introduction by C. Papanace, who
quotes and appraises European opinion of the Legionary Move-
ment in Romania, noting its difference from comparable move-
ments elsewhere,, and finally describes the murder of Codreanu
and thirteen of his closest associates by the Romanian police on
the orders of the infamous King Carol, transmitted by his Prime
Minister.
The author emphasizes one instructive detail, which will
astonish only naive readers. Although Codreanu's Iron Guard was
informed by a Christian' religiosity which reached mysticism,"
the Prime Minister who plotted the murders and, with Carol's
consent, seized Codreanu and his comrades, taking them by
surprise on Palm Sunday, imprisoned them under conditions that
amounted to torture, and finally ordered the Police to kill them
by the Jewish rite of strangulation, was Miron Cristea, the
Patriarch of the Orthodox Church in Romania, the supreme ruler
of that Church and the most venerated and presumably holiest of
the holy men in the country. No man can rise very high in the
Jesus-business if he is not immune to religiosity.
After the murders, bullets were fired through the corpses to
lend some verisemblance to the official story that the victims had
been shot while trying to escape. Mr. Papanace quotes the confes-
sion of the commander of the Police (Gendarmes) who superin-
tended the murders. (The confession of one of the gendarmes is
quoted in an appendix to For My Legionaries.) Political activists
should note that although the Police were reluctant to commit
-4
Liberty Bell /May 1988
the crime, they obeyed orders. That will be the attitude of police
everywhere.
The Manual is Codreanu's instructions and directives to the
leaders of each local unit of his organization. The reader will note
the insistence on Christian faith and the efficacy of prayer; on
the discipline of plain living without self-indulgence, amounting
to what some would call asceticism; and the constant emphasis on
a spiritual rebirth of the nation through the example set by the
Legionaries' integrity and devotion. The leaders of all patriotic
endeavors, however, will be most of all impressed by Codreanu's
eminently practical judgement in arranging all the details of or-
ganization', even the most minute, and they will admire the
prudence off his measures to avert internal dissension, the harm
that may be caused by dunderheaded sympathizers, and penetra-
tion by agents of the enemy. And Americans with experience in
the harassing business of trying to form and maintain a cadre of
loyal followers, will wonder where they are to look in this
country for recruits of the moral caliber of the Iron Guard.
A WHIFF OF TRUTH
When Yahweh's Master Race began to prepare the Aryan
boobs in the United States for eventual use as a horde of crazed
cattle, stampeded into Europe to consummate the Suicide of the
West and, in all probability, the suicide of our race, the world-
destroyers hired the prostitutes of the press to propagate lies
about Adolf Hitler. It took the hostes generis humani years to in-
vent the Holohoax they now use to plunder and cow their serfs,
but from the first they forged documents to show that Hitler had
been the illegitimate offspring of a Kike; by mistranslating a Ger-
man idiom that designates a man who habitually walks about
while talking to intimates of serious matters, they were able to
concoct a silly story that he often fell into such rages that he
chewed the carpet; they told persons who could not read German
that Hitler had advocated in his great work, Mein Kampf, the
technique of the Big Lie, which he there accurately identified as
the standard technique of the Jews (as now witness their
Holohoax, which may be the most enormous lie perpetrated since
their tale about Esther in the Jew-Book); and among many lesser
applications of their racial technique, they devised the story that
Hitler had been a house-painter.

you will learn from the volume that while the great champion of
our race was not a great artist, he was, in art, as in his ultimate
political purposes, an honest man, and we may hope that he will
be remembered as such by the descendants of the nation that
defeated him and destroyed itself— and that memory of him may
even give to those descendants some strength to endure the
degradation* and wretchedness to which, as they will discover
before long, they have been condemned by their thoughtless
parents.
TRAILING TOYNBEE
I have received from an American Classical scholar a letter in
the course of which he says: "At first it seemed incredible to me
that the quotation from Toynbee that you adduced in a recent ar-
ticle [July 1987, p. 8; the quotation may also be found at the head
of the very important article by Ivor Benson in the issue for April
1988] could really be accurate, but I verified that it does indeed
appear on p. 809 of "The Trend of International Affairs since
the War," International Affairs , Vol. X, No. 6 (November 1931),
803-826, wherein he allows that after 'this mysterious force called
sovereignty' has been extirpated, 'the 50 or 60 local states of the
world will no doubt survive as administrative conveniences.' "
The quotation in question was one in which Toynbee, address-
ing his fellow conspirators, admitted that he and they were
engaged in a covert conspiracy against Great Britain and all the
civilized nations to which the other members of the gang
belonged, and he boasted of the hypocrisy with which they were
deluding their victims. It deserves repetition at a time when the
United States is becoming an "administrative convenience" in
the Jews' One World:
"We are at present working discreetly, but with all our
might, to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of
the clutches of the local national states of the world. And all the
time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our
hands” (My emphasis.)
Seldom has a pack of sneaking traitors been so indiscreet as
to put on paper a description of the insidious conspiracy in which
they were secretly engaged, let alone publish it, even if only in an
obscure journal usually filled with such pretentious drivel that
Liberty Bell /May 1988

men of sense wasted no time on it. For the egregious folly of nut
ting such things on paper, one could adduce the famous
Protocols of the Elders of Zion” as a parallel, if they were in
deed written out by the Jews whose activity they so accurately
describe, although there is the significant difference that the lat
ter describe treachery, but not treason.

atrocities to pep up the herds of cattle who were being
democratically driven onto the battlefields. That historical fact
should have been suppressed, according to Von Mises, because
Professor James Bryce, who was eventually elevated to the
peerage as a Viscount, was a writer "whom political scientists

raged by an article by my esteemed colleague, Westbrook Pegler
entitled Zangara Missed,” in which Mr. Pegler discussed what '
would probably have happened, if Zangara had succeeded in kill-
ing the foul and diseased creature named Franklin Roosevelt
with the result that an American politican, Gamer, would have
become President. Von Mises may have been appalled by the
thought of how many Americans would not have been killed in a
war in which they fought against their own race and civilization.

Toynbee’s Study of History, I did not know of his much earlier

THE
ZIONIZATION OF
JESSE HELMS
ONE WHO KNOWS CHRONICLES THE BETRAYAL
M Y ACQUAINTANCE WITH Jesse Helms goes back quite a
few years. I was not at all surprised some time ago to hear that a
copy of The Dispossessed Majority [available from Liberty Bell Publi-
cations] reposed on the shelf in his Raleigh (NC) residence. When I
first came to know him, I believed Jesse to be a man of strong moral
conviction. All outward indications were that he was. Ever fond of
quoting the time-honored lessons of his father and his old school prin-
cipal, Ray House, he even has a plaque on his office wall bearing his
father’s words: “Son, the Lord doesn’t expect you to win, He only ex-
pects you to try.” Upon his election to the Senate in 1972, 1 was confi-
dent he would go to Washington and stand up for the rights of the
beleaguered white Majority, that this man was really a credit to his
race— or so I thought.
Veteran staffer George Dunlop, who has lived well off Jesse and
who now holds down the job of assistant secretary of agriculture,
characterized his boss and mentor as the personification of “Sibyl,” the
leading character of the book and movie of the same name, because he
possesses multiple personalities, “and if you understand that, you can
get what you want.” I attributed Jesse’s growing personal rudeness and
inconsideration to the many preoccupations of an overworked
politician, yet certainly not characteristic of those early American
statesmen he is so fond of quoting.
I had always known our new leader could “charm a cat off a
shrimp boat,” as someone wrote of him, and right after the election I
learned that he could turn the charm on and off instantaneously. In the
course of my exposure to him and his operation, I encountered a great
deal of double-dealing, which I was willing to overlook, thinking it less
of an evil for a politician to be Machiavellian than to be a complete
sellout like Ted Kennedy.
Helms, the private man, was the prey of numerous conflicting
emotions. Most evident were his hangups about never having earned a
Liberty Bell / May 1 988 9
i
college degree and his humble origins (humble perhaps to those with
whom he now consorts). I should have realized his unabashed craving
for respectability and legitimacy would have dire consequences some 6
day for me and other Majority members. Jesse’s personal secretary at-
tributed her boss’s problems to “a massive inferiority complex.” His
administrative assistant said the spotlight of the 1976 Republican Na-
tional Convention put the finishing touches on the change. “Now you
can hardly hve with his ego- or believe anything he says.”
Wheeling and Dealing
• w ^. t , he r har f; foug 1 ht ’ ^ultuous, down-to-the-wire 1984 Senate race
. . S C , a f° h ” a ’ the em battled hero of the “New Right” fought for
s political life. Some two years previously he had changed his mind at
the. last minute and cast the deciding vote for a 100% boost in the tax
on cigarettes. A pack of Winstons or Salems in his home state, the
nation s leadmg tobacco producer, would now be taxed at 16 cents.
y, many wondered, did Jesse oppose the vital economic interests of
his constituents?
Here’s what happened. At 4:45 A.M. on the day of the vote in late
summer 1982, President Reagan’s tax package was certain to be
defeated. Helms was against it because it included the tobacco tax
provision. Minutes before the vote, Majority Leader Howard Baker
and Finance Committee Chairman Robert Dole approached Jesse and
cut a deal right on the Senate floor. If Jesse would switch his vote, the
Republican leadership would see that his anti-abortion bill got to the
floor, and the tobacco tax would be dropped in the Senate-House con-
ference on the tax package.
Unusual? Not for most senators in this era of unprincipled legisla-
te wheeling and dealing. Since he was chairman of the Senate
gnculture Committee, as well as being from tobacco land, Jesse’s
vote was all the more surprising to those not privy to the deal. But the
Senator had his reasons. He no longer wanted to be chairman of the
Ag Committee. His eyes were focusing on bigger game: the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, where he was chairman of the Subcom-
mittee on Hemispheric (Latin American) affairs. He wanted to be the
top man of the full committee someday, and to get that plum he would
have to begin playing ball with the boys who run the Senate. Years of
hyperconservative tirades, parliamentary obstructionism and anti-
establishment posturing had engendered among his colleagues a
perish the thought” attitude at the prospect of his ever landing such
an important chairmanship.

In writing about the man we know as Ronald Wilson Reagan, who
holds the highest office in the land, the establishment press has just
about convinced the public that he is an arch conservative and a tax
cutter. He is neither! During Mr, Reagan’s two terms, taxes have gone
up, not down. He is now and always has been a bleeding-heart liberal
of the Franklin D, Roosevelt variety. Except for, the war criminals who
have run Israel since 1948, old FDR is the man Mr. Reagan professes
to admire most of all. .
Despite: Mr. Reagan’s talk about cutting down on government
waste and overspending the budget, he has done just the opposite, So,
instead of being deceived by political talk from the White House, why
don’t we simply examine the facts?
It took the combined federal, state and local governments 155
years, from the founding of our republic in 1789 to 1944, to spend a
hundred billion dollars. Compare this to Mr. Reagan’s administration,
which in only seven years, so enormously increased national expendi-
ture that, it accumulated indebtedness of nearly three trillion dollars.
Yet “hard-line conservatives” still try to pass Mr. Reagan off as any-
thing but a free and reckless, spender of your money.
While federal revenues increased by thirty-five bilhon dollars since
1981, a rate of increase more than four times that of the rate of infla-
tion, excess spending during the Reagan administration soared by
more than one hundred fifty billion dollars ($150,000,000,000) during
that same period. ... ■
Mr, Reagan has not made any attempt to call for a balanced . ;
budget for any year since he has been in the White House, In 1982, the
first budget for which he was responsible, the deficit was calculated at ' ,
forty-billion dollars. However, with all the extra expenditures Reagan . 7
added it turned out to be one hundred twenty-seven billion dollars
i.i i ,
Liberty Bell /May 1988 11
($127,000,000,000) a far cry from the projected forty billion, wouldn’t
you say? The next year he even increased his spending for s^ch cor
ruptmg items as more welfare payments and proposed to have a politi
cal spree by spending ninety-one billion, five hundred million dollars
more than even the revenue from oppressive taxation. But that
revenue, as always with irresponsible spenders, proved insufficient for
Mr_ Reagan. The deficit turned out to be two hundred seven billion
$ fo soomomo Th dol i? rs ($ 207 ,800,000,000^or more than
tionwwT’r 00 ?°a\. ha ° What he Claimed t0 be an accurate projec-
when he foisted the economic insanity on a thoughtless public.
situafi^ eS Mr° Rer der h the y ° U d ° n>t 6Ven gUm P se the true

Mr. Stockman wrote a book about Mr. Reagans revolution that
failed. Here is a telling excerpt -from that book.
“After 40 years in loyal opposition to the ever-growing size of the
federal budget,, after four decades of railing against an onerous govern-
ment increasingly intruding into the lwes of its citizens, the Republican
Party Suddenly, in 1980, found itself with a genuine ‘conservative’ in
the White House . and in .possession of the power to effect a tot.al
change in American history. /;
- “As it turned out,: the arch conservative presided Over ari
economic shell game resulting in unprecedented deficit spending/’
Representative Morris Udall (D-Arizona) said, “It took 39 presi-
dents, two expensive world wars, 200 years and all manner of difficul-
ties to slowly create a huge national debt. It took Mr, Reagan only five
years of unheard-of wild spending to double it, and before he leaves
he’ll more than, triple if Trillions of wasted dollars, yet people still
can’t believe that he’s a wild-eyed spender. They won’t even believe it,
even when, in plain fact, it’s true.”
, I agree with both Mr. Stockman and Mr,; Udall. But most
Americans still refuse to admit the facts/ :
Allow me to give an example of Mr. /Reagan’s determination to
spend more of your tax dollars on social programs than any other
president— exactly the, opposite of tlje reasons you voted for him twice.
Consider his liberal programs that were supposed to provide jobs for
people who found themselves unemployed during the, nation-wide
economic slowdown. He urged Congress to spend an additional nine
billion dollars via the Emergency Jobs Appropriation Act of 1983. Fif-
teen months later, the General Accounting Office found that the
program had an effective cost of $88,571“ for each person enrolled —
enough to send every one of those “students” through both under-
graduate and graduate school at Harvard; and still have money left
over. Is this economical? Is this conservative?
Despite all the clear evidence against him, Mr. Reagan’s Teflon
coating is not wearing thin. For seven years he has managed to come
out of a myriad of potentially damaging setbacks without any lasting -
damage to either his record of accomplishments or his credibility.
ThereUl never be another one like him.

Like water off a duck’s back, domestic and foreign policy failures

bureaucracy under Mr. Reagan actually has grown from 2,840 000
Federal employees in 1981 to 2,980,000 in January of 1986 ’and
will be over three million by the end of 1988. ’
• Despite an increasing campaign against deficit spending, Mr
Reagan now presides over two-trillion-dollar budgets, still one
hundred fifty billion ($150,000,000,000) short of balancing.
• Several top-level aides have resigned rather than engage in any
more of Mr. Reagan’s free-spending tactics.
• I , shou ! d 11116 to remind everyone that when Mr. Reagan became
President he vowed “to clean up waste, fraud and abuse” throughout
the federal government. Those were his very own words, not mine.
Now, seven years later, more billions of our tax dollars have been
wasted than under any previous administration.
• Mismanagement (stealing) has been most publicly exposed in the
Department of Defense which buys precious amenities that range
from $900 toilet-seat covers to $7,622 for coffee makers. But even
these disclosures pale m comparison to the totality of waste un-
covered elsewhere in the wild-spending Reagan administration.
5 ] Tr SK m ° nths of fiscal 1986 > inspectors general
identified $8,700,000,000 in spending that was wasted through mis-
management, inefficiency and outright fraud.
• Transportation Department investigators uncovered fraud amount-
ing to $370,000,000 in just one year.
• The Agriculture Department auditors found evidence of fraud
amounting to $36,000,000. One of these concerned a Memphis
woman who had stolen $26,589 in food stamps and other federal
poverty 5 benefits. A Chicago black woman screwed the govern-
ment out of $136,000 in the same manner. In Salinas, California
two employees made off with $255,000 in money for school-lunch
programs. This pair also took a vacation trip to Italy at govern-
luent expense.
• Investigations in the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment uncovered $43,600,000 in waste and fraud. In Chicago 18
tenants stole $172,000 in fake rent subsidies. And, I might add,
some of these people were earning over $40,000 a year at the time.’
• Auditors at the Labor Department found $3,300,000,000 had been
paid in fraudulent employee benefits.
• Agents exposed two billion dollars squandered in waste and fraud
by the Department of Health and Human services.
, • Over fifty-eight million dollars were misused in the Education
Department.

$586,900,000 in a single year.
Etc., etc., etc. It never ends. v
You could wallpaper the Washington Monument yvith General
Accounting Office audits that urged departments to close the spending
loopholes. But, at the White House, it fell on deaf ears. Writer Garry
Wills described Mr. Reagan as “the perfect Scout, a perfect Hol-
lywood chastity symbol, a company man and a durable daylight bundle
of meanings.” '
If you listen closely to Mr. Reagan you will hear the ghost of old
FDR chuckling. His most famous prot6g6 is still carrying out
Roosevelt’s “tax and spend” policy. Mr, Reagan praises his ,idol,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in almost every speech. Democrats of today of
the ultra liberal persuasion have accused Mr. Reagan of stealing their
lunch when he comes out with the old FDR “New Deal” policy of tax
to spend to elect to tax, etc.
Of course, it goes without saying that Mr. Reagan has not been
honest with the American people. But then, the American people, in
general, have not asked that he be honest with them. They are blind
followers, They adore him as he is, without changes. Just as happened
with FDR, people are mesmerized by President Reagan. '
Naturally, Mr, Reagan is not alone as far as throwing away tax
money goes. Congress does its share too. Although the country was
$200,000,000,000 in the red that year, Congressmen had the nerve to
give themselves a huge pay raise, a 75^ percent increase despite the fact
that the “company” is losing money each year. Is this good business? It
could not happen in the business/ world because the stockholders
would revolt very quickly. But the official “stockholders” in America,
the taxpaying voters, have not even bothered to complain when a
bankrupt country nearly doubles' the salaries of the “board” (Con-
gress), which drove it into bankruptcy in the first place. 1
Representative William Gray (D-Penna.) played musical chairman
at a budget hearing when he called Mr, Reagan “The Great
Pretender” 1

“Oh yes, Pm the greatest spender,

Mr. Gray should include himself and his fellow members of Con-’^V'V
gress in that song and dance to fool the public, * '<■

hasn’t raised taxes. Here are some Mr. Reagan’s tax increases:. , - ( ! 1

Security taxes on every worker and every retiree in America.
• The so-called “deficit redaction” Budget Act of 1984, a slight-of-
hand grab bag of tax increases. 1
In essence, complimenting Mr. Reagan for being a conservative
spender is like citing Nero for a medal because he was kind to
animals— he fed the lions really well- with Christians, supposedly.
Reagan’s frantic squandering of American resources would be in-
sane, if it was not planned and contrived to follow the “tax to spend to
elect to tax to spend” etc. endless cycle used by the infamous
Roosevelt, and perhaps to go even beyond that and aim at the total
prostration and destruction of what is left of the United States in
preparation for the imposition by violence of an admittedly Judaeo-
Commumst despotism.
Many expenditures were made in open or covert action to further
the purposes of the enemies of the American people or to mile the
United States even more contemptible in the eyes of the European na-
tions and of civilized peoples everywhere. Here is just a partial and
random list of some of Reagan’s most noteworthy exploits as they
occur to one’s mind:
• He ordered the CIA to mine the harbors of Nicaragua and
professed hypocritical concern for “anti-Communists” in that
country to mask his covert supply of arms to Iran for the purpose
of starting a war to destroy the Arabian nations for the profit of
Israel.
«... i
• His administration has, under the cover of some futile pretenses,
abetted the massive invasion of the United States by mestizos from
Mexico, who now openly speak of the time when they will retake
the Southwestern states and rid them of the vile gringos.
• He deliberately lied to other nations, urging them not to send
arms to Iran at the very time he was doing precisely that.
• He secretly plotted and attempted the assassination of the heads
of two Moslem states, Iraq and Libya, with which the United
States has not the slightest quarrel. He did so as a ‘hit-man’ for the
Israelis, and the exposure of his attempts at murder have covered
him, and the United States with him, with merited disgrace and
ridicule.,
■ : /:• He personally conducted a vile campaign of disinformation and
misinformation, which was too much for even our news media in
; stomach wilhoul protest, to bring down t he governZt of L.bya

to please the would-be Masters of the World.
© He personally ordered a sneaking terrorist attack on Libya, an act
of war and unjustifiable aggression, on the orders of his Zionist
masters.
• By this and many similar acts the United States has now made it-
self reviled as the great terrorist power by the civilized nations
from whom those acts could not be concealed, as they were
sedulously concealed from Americans by the captive press, and
covered by Reagan’s hypocritical mouthings about “terrorism.”
• He has done everything possible to afflict all mankind with the in-
herent evil of the most vicious and inhuman power that ever ap-
peared on this earth: world Zionism.
• He procured the adoption of the treasonable “Genocide Treaty”
which even the worst of preceding regimes dared not enact —an
anti-American measure which, under much pretentious gabble, is
intended eventually to make it a criminal and perhaps capital of-
fense to displease a Jew.
• He sanctioned the pseudo-legal kidnapping of American citizens,
who were carried captive to be murdered by the Soviets or
harassed in obscene show-trials to amuse Jews in Israel.
• He established the infamous O.S.I. as an extension of the terrorist
arm of Mossad, the Zionists’ espionage and murder agency, to
persecute American citizens selected by the world’s most bar-
barous nation for revenge or just for fun.
• He sanctioned and perhaps ordered revival of the incredible law
about “sedition” by which the nation’s first crypto-Communist
President sought prematurely totestablish himself as the American
Lenin— a law which, as applied in the infamous “Sedition Trial” in
1944, held that persons who liave never even heard of one another *
are guilty of conspiracy if they send letters that mention a given
subject to addresses within a given state or territory. The “law” is
now being applied to cow Americans who do not know that
America is a thing of the past.
# After much prating about “Star Wars” to make alien “scientists”
in the United States “concerned” lest the American serfs be able
to defend themselves against the Soviets, he and his counterpart at
the other end of the Washington-Moscow Axis, with many a
chuckle negotiated an “arms control treaty” that effectively dis-
arms the United States and precludes American intervention in
Europe.
The list could be extended indefinitely. It will, however, serve to
show, first, for what much of your money was expended, and second,

the possibility that the wild squandering of your money and a foreicm
pohcy that makes the United States a satellite of Israel may not beT

Never before has the White House been occupied by a man about
Whom most Americans know so little. This is true although Mr.
dl ! n ? g aU his adult life > has almost constantly been in the
public hmehght: as a lifeguard,, a sports announcer, a Hollywood star,
Governor of California, 2 and finally President of the United States.
L, To llJu f" ate this momentous lack of public knowledge about Mr.
Reagan and his many unpublicized activities which are not in the best
interest of America or Americans, I should like to mention a couple of
incidents which at this writing have not been mentioned in the closed
U.S. media.
First of all, Mrs. Reagan carried on a secret campaign last year ur-
ging her good Marxist friend, Dr. Armand Hammer, to secure a Nobel
reace Prize for her husband as some sort of “leaving the White
House present. According to her, it would be a fitting finale to the
President s dong career in and out of politics. And since a group of
European Jews now make the selections for the Nobel awards she
spo e with the right person. The Reagans have done a lot for Mr.
Hammer, such as allowing him to cut any deals he liked with the
Soviets, no matter how, much they harmed America. Now we can wait
and see if Mr. Hammer will reciprocate by doing something for Mr.
Reagan, the best friend the world Zionists ever had.

precisely the opposite of what he intended to do and in fact did. He simplv followed the
precedent set by the foul creature called Franklin Roosevelt, who crawled into the
Whde House by precisely the same technique of cunning duplicity. What is almost un-
eltevable is that Americans could have been herded into tolerating Reagan in politics

It is my opinion that Mrs. Reagan will not succeed in getting this
award for her husband. Knowing the Jews the way I do, I know they
are never inclined to do something for anyone who’s leaving office and
who cannot assist them greatly in the future. And according to some 1
polls, Jews in general hate Mr. Reagan, personally, despite all he has j
done for them. . j
Of course, by the present standard of awarding “Peace” prizes
only to war criminals and bloody terrorists, such as the recent
recipients, Menachem Begin (certainly the product of the Devil’s loins
if there ever was one), Ho Chi Minh, and that little black terrorist ras-
cal in the red suit and clerical collar, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Mr.
Reagan is well qualified. He has Certainly murdered people indis-
criminately in four countries, i.e. Grenada, Lebanon, Syria and Libya.
He also tried to have two heads of state assassinated: Colonel Qaddafi
of Libya and President Saddam Hussein of Iraq. So he roundly deser-
ves this now infamous “bloody hands” Nobel prize. He has qualified.
But he won’t get it.
The other case involving Mr. Reagan is far more important and !
even threatens the freedom of everyone reading this. Quietly, last
November, Mr. Reagan, appearing as a ( private citizen and not as
President of the United States, filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme
Court to ; gain the power to prevent any foreigner from making
speeches in the U.S. on the grounds of being against the interests of
the U.S. and Israel. What caused him to file this secretly has nothing at
all to do with any American interests. It was the Israelis who put him
up to it. The Zionists are angry because , former senator frorU South - ■
Dakota, James Abourezk, an Arab-Americap, has organized speakers
from Arab countries to refute all the outright lies the Israelis have
been feeding Americans for years with Israeli speakers, the press, etc. !
Mr. Abourezk had Ambassador Clovis Maksoud of the Arab
League at the UN^ and other Arab leaders, speak to Americans in
Detroit, Phoenix and other cities. The many Jewish hate groups in the
U.S. are viciously angry about this and want, it stopped. Hence, Mr.
Reagan’s case against the former South Dakota senator. The official
case heading follows:

Reagan wins. It will not only mean that American citizens cannot hear
the Arab side of the Mideast conflict from Arab leaders; this decision
will also be used to prevent other people, like me, from presenting the
Arab viewpoints in this publication, on radio or via television. If
freedom of speech can be denied one group, how long before all of us
will be denied that same Constitutional right? Think about it. If the
decision favors Mr. Reagan and his Zionists who run Washington,
watch out. You may be next. And remember you read it here first.
* * *
In 1947, Mr. Reagan became president of the extremely left-wing
Screen Actors Guild. His closest collaborators at that time were James
Roosevelt, son of FDR, and Mr. Dore Schary, head of the notorious
Anti-Defamation League. At first, Mr. Reagan joined the Hollywood
Jewish leaders in claiming that blacklisted Communists were innocent
and were being unreasonably persecuted. Later, probably for political
reasons, he backed down on this stand and went over to the anti-Com-
munist side.
Mr. Reagan was happy to become a charter member of the Fabian
Socialist- controlled Americans for Democratic Action in 1950, He ac-
tively campaigned for FDR and Harry Truman, castigating the
Republicans for causing inflation. He also campaigned and raised
funds for the Red-leaning Mrs. Helen Gehagan Douglas, who opposed
Richard Nixon in a California Congressional election.
In 1958, Mr. Reagan became an active member of a Communist-
front organization, the National Advisory Committee of the American
Veterans. (This information comes from a report of the California
Senate Committee on Un-American Activities. Anyone can check it
out.)
Two other Communist groups to which Mr. Reagan belonged
were the Hollywood Branch of the American Veterans Committee and
the Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts and Scien-
ces and Professions. Another Red-tinged organization in which Mr.
Reagan played a leading role was the California League for a
Democratic Far-Eastern Policy. This outfit was made up of a bunch of
all-out Maoists backing Red China. Senator Pat McCarran headed a
committee that found this group to be an instrument of the Communist
Party, which gathered military intelligence for Russia and Red China.
When the FBI raided the headquarters, 1800 stolen U.S. army docu-
ments were found.
1 Mr. Reagan worked closely with the notorious Alan Cranston, now
a Dem ocratic senator from California, on the Communist-dominated
Liberty Bell /May 1988
20
\
United World Federalists.
All of these various Red associations took place after he had
reached middle-age, so they cannot possibly be written off as the rash
actions of a callow youth at school, a method commonly used to gloss
over links to subversive groups.
In 1954, Mr. Reagan was hired by the General Electric Corpora-
tion and became one of their best public relations men and a close
friend of Mr. Gerard Swope, head of G.E, and the author of FDR’s
blueprint for' national socialism in America. And Fd like to remind all
readers that G.E. was and still is one of our leading multi-national cor-
porations that are active in building up the military capabilities of the
Soviet Union through the transfer of American technology.
During Mr. Reagan’s tenure as governor of California, he advo-
cated a change in the state constitution to give a non-government body
the power to tax the citizens.
In 1971, Mr. Reagan signed into law AB 1301, making it man-
datory for Californians to obtain state regional approval before they
could sell their own land, no matter how small a parcel He further
decreased property rights through a series of land-use bills and
redevelopment laws. He urged state authority over privately-owned
coastal property.
Polls showed that most gun owners voted for Mr. Reagan.
However, perhaps they did not know that Governor Reagan signed
into California law the Mulford Act, the most sweeping and repressive
gun control legislation passed anywhere in the U.S. to date— except for
two small towns where guns are banned completely. Then Governor
Reagan proposed a plan for the confiscation of guns from private
citizens in order to make California a model pilot state for the entire
country. This project failed.
Let us study Mr. Reagan’s political life before he arrived in
California in order to understand his views right from the start. In
1928, he campaigned hard for A1 Smith against Herbert Hoover.
An anti-third term resolution had been passed in the Senate,
making certain that no Republican, such as Calvin Coolidge, could run
for a third term. Yet Roosevelt, excepted and exempted from this rule,
ran for and won a third and even a fourth term with Mr. Reagan’s full
support. Mr. Reagan then proudly called himself a hemophiliac
Democrat, saying he would forever bleed for liberal social welfare
states and would never change these radical views. He spoke the truth.
He has never changed. You have just been led to believe that he
changed.
One summer, young Ronald Reagan was a caddy at the Hazel-
Liberty Bell / May 1988 21
wood Golf Club in Dixon, Illinois, then owned by Charles Walgreen, a
Chicago pharmacist who founded the cut-rate drug store chain that
still bears his name, Mr. Walgreen made his money during Prohibition
by selling “prescription” drugs quite legally, which had hardly anything
in them other than alcohol and some coloring. His “drug” stores be-
came legalized saloons. ,
Mr. Reagan, although’ actually born in Tampico, Illinois, is one of
two rather famous personalities from Dixon, Illinois, the other being
the columnist, Louella Parsons.
. * Mr. Reagan* class of 1932 at Eureka College, wore a badge on his
lifeguard bathing suit in Dixon, reading: “Win with Roosevelt.” He
voted for FDR at South Central School in Dixon. , - : ' ,
While an announcer at Station WHO Radio in Des Moines, Mr,
Reagan backed Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace and gave him
unauthorized farm belt plugs every time he could get by with it on the
air. He also served as a promoter of FDR's New Deal while at WHO,
often mentioning a government official visiting his native Montana.
This official said he saw men with whom he had been to school digging
ditches and laying sewer pipe in their regular business suits because
. they had no money to buy overalls. One man told him, “This is the first
money I've had in my pockets for a year and a half,' ? as he pulled some
coins from his pockets. Hoover and the Republicans had cost him
everything he once had, according to Mr. Reagan's version of things.
Roosevelt and the New Deal had given him a return to good times and
money in his pocket. ‘
In 1937, Mr. Reagan signed a seven-year contract with Warner
Brothers, when Hollywood still used strawberry gelatin for blood and
bleached corn flakes for snow. Jack Warner didn't waste money any
more than his across-town counterpart at MGM, Louis B. Mayer. The
biggest stars at Warners were Barbara Stanwyck, Ann Sheridan and
Emmanuel Goldenberg (alias Edward G. Robinson),
There were three Warner brothers: Harry, Abe, and Jack. Two
were based in New York, where Harry served as president with Abe as
treasurer. Jack, in Hollywood, was vice-president in charge of produc-
tion. He ran 'everything. He had a built-in hatred for Germans and in-
stilled this same hatred in Reagan, his prot6g6.
Jack, with a massive inferiority complex, the chief ailment of his
people, was something of a totalitarian godhead, in his own mind, at
least. Actually, he was merely a bargain-basement type of dictator.
Even his brightest and highest paid stars had to punch a time clock.
He paid Ronald Reagan $200 per week for seven years.
Commissaries at the other studios served three meals a day.
22 Liberty Bejl / May 1988
Warner Brothers served one. The studio police, headed by F. Blayney
Mathews, a former investigator for the Los Angeles district attorney,
were a combination of FBI types and storm troopers.
Jack made all employees fill out forms giving their religion, lodge
or club affiliations, assets, debts, insurance, etc, before they could
j work. When he wanted to contact an employee, he would send a
I telegram even if the person was right next door on the lot. And these
insulting telegrams usually ran to several pages in length. Actor Errol
Flynn was said to be the only employee who never read them. Mr.
Reagan always took the telegrams very seriously, even humbly answer-
v ing every word of them. Most of the stars treated the telegrams as a
j joke. But not Ronald Reagan. He treated them as the word of God
I and obeyed every single suggestion to the letter. And he still obeys or-
' ders from his directors today.
Jack wrote memos by the thousands, on blue paper. All other
Warner executives had to use pink to differentiate their memos from
his. When an employee got a blue envelope, he or she knew before
opening it that it was a message from the master on high, usually some
sort of reprimand.
Bigshot Jack Warner spent the Christmas holiday season in France
each year; and he sent his stars and other special employees a
telegram signed: Jack and Ann Warner, Cannes, France, But he was
such a cheapskate that he had his secretary send all these wires from
the Hollywood office of Western Union because it was much less ex-
pensive this way. And from reading such telegrams, there was no way
to know they didn't come from France,
Jack Warner was even more crude than most of his kind. He was
t
especially uncouth and abrasive to underlings aixd servants. At this
time, Hollywood was full of abusive Jews; but Jack Warner seemed to
be the nastiest of all the Kikes. He had no respect for anyone. When
this Jewish racist was introduced to Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the
wife of the President of China, he calmly told her, “Too bad I forgot
\ my laundry.”
Many of Reagan's early notes to Jack Warner show a great
\l deference usually reserved for great leaders, which Warner was not.
I Actor Reagan admired Jack and tried his best to please him. He was
the opposite of Errol Flynn, who despised Warner and never hesitated
to say so. Flynn always called Jack “the ludicrous little Kike,”
Since Reagan treated the boss with respect and kindness, while
Flynn treated Warner quite gruffly, the young actor from Illinois
! thought about challenging Flynn to a fist fight in order to teach him a
\ lesson in respect so that henceforth Flynn would be nicer to Warner,

But Reagan’s friends talked him out of this bit of foolhardiness. Flynn
was a professional boxer, who could have killed Ronald Reagan. Flynn
did fight John Huston, also a boxer of sorts, for over an hour at a Hol-
lywood party because of an imagined insult to a certain lady
i Just as Flynn described him, Jack Warner was a ludicrous little
man in every way. Jack tried to look and dress like a Hollywood star,
but he couldn’t make the grade. He wore white-collared shirts tight
around his short, stout neck. Pin-striped suits gave him a comical ap-
pearance. He liked to use his power on maids, waiters, and others not
in any position to fight back. In other words, like most Jews, he was an
insolent coward. He had the common arrogance which flares out in
Jews aware of their innate inferiority.
In restaurants, Jack used every possible discourtesy toward the
hired help.. His favorite trick, to regale his friends and show that he
had made it in Hollywood, was to turn to the waiter with an ashtray
from the table and command him, saying, “Here, take this back and
have them put some butter in it.” Talk about crudity! He epitomized it.
Every time he noticed the French word for fish (poisson ) on a menu,
he would call the head waiter over and exclaim, “So you serve poison
in here, eh?”
He also thought of himself as a comedian. When a newspaper man
said to him, “I hear you are quite a raconteur,” he answered, “That’s
right; I play one hell of a game of tennis.”
Mr. Reagan immediately took up Jack Warner’s stand for Zionist
and Jewish so-called “rights” in Palestine, as well as his strong anti-
German stance. This caused Jack to favor him. And President Reagan
still has these same ingrained prejudices today that he learned while
worshiping at the feet of Jack Warner in Hollywood.
Actor Reagan arrived in Hollywood young and impressionable. He
was trained well by his Jewish bosses in the art of hatred and racist at-
titudes toward certain parts of the world. And, to this day, Mr. Reagan
maintains these' finely-tuned prejudices, such as stating that Arabs are
an inferior people with no redeeming qualities. This was evidenced for
all to see when he jumped for joy at the mistaken report that he had
killed Colonel Qaddafi in the vicious raid he ordered on Tripoli.
Just after he married actress Jane Wyman, because both enjoyed
golf, Reagan applied for membership in the Lakeside Country Club, It
was located in North Hollywood, a short distance from the studio. By
some strange coincidence, his boss, Jack Warner, had also applied for
membership at Lakeside on the day Mr. Reagan was accepted for
membership. Warner was rejected, of course. For readers ofi the

As we have observed, during the early 1980s Zundel had a knack
for always coming out on top, when he was ambushed legally or illegal-
ly by the Zionists or by the State* , ,
During the night of 24-25 March 1981, the West German police
raided the homes 6f his supporters and carted away “forbidden”
Samisdat literature* Zundel was charged in absentia with, ^disseminat-
ing hate propaganda.” However, in August 1982, when the case even-
tually came to trial (again in Zundeks absence) he was completely ex-
onerated, and the government was ordered to pay his costs.
On 31 May 1981, a Jewish rally at Allen, Gardens — about twb
blocks from the Ziindelhaus- attracted a restless throng of 2000 pro-
testors; all of them angry at Zundefs continued audacity. Inflamed by
the rabble-rousing of the speakers, about two-thirds of the mob broke
away from the rally and swarmed around the front of number 206
Carlton Street, jeering and chanting. The police were severely outnum-
bered and unprepared; for two hours the lynch mob was allowed, to
block all traffic on the busy street. If it had not been for the courage
and self-discipline of the Zundelists, a bloody riot could easily have oc-
curred. ;
. In November 1981, Canada Post made Zundel into a “non person”
, and suspended ZiindePs mailing “privileges” without any hearing
whatsoever. Zundel successfully took the government to court, and his
mail was restored in December 1982. v
In January 1983, the West German government tried again. Their
Toronto consulate refused to renew Ztindel’s passport. Zundel suc-
cessfully sued* in the West German courts— again in absentia — and won
every step of the way. The government appealed each and every ruling
in his favor, and would not admit defeat until late 1987; 4 1/2 years
later, when his passport was finally restored. Since their bureaucratic
strategies against Zundel were not working, the Zionists tried a new
tactic. Throughout 1982 and 1983 they tried to drive him out of busi-
ness by harassing and threatening his customers. The terrorist Jewish
Defense League mounted night-and-day pickets outside the Zundel-
haus — even in the depths of- winter— in order to enforce a blockade of
his art studio. Messengers and delivery people were insulted and yelled 1
at. Once in a while the police would cruise by, observing, but taking i^o 1 r ,
action. The phone would ring constantly in order to keep the line tied 1 ;

up. (Eventually, in 1987, the police finally arrested a Jewish stock-
broker for this harassment.) The physical attacks on the Ziindelhaus
(but not the telephone threats) finally ended with a crescendo. At
4:20am on 9 September 1984 a pipe-bomb exploded at Ziindel’s rear
garage door, blasting holes in adjacent properties, and causing con-
siderable shrapnel damage. No one was hurt in the explosion, and to
date, no one has been arrested, despite the fact that responsibility was
claimed by the “Liberation Movement of the Jewish Defense League.”
The blast appeared to be some kind of farewell message: that if
violence and intimidation would not make Ziindel behave, then the
Zionists had a few more tricks up their sleeve..,
One of Ziindel’s most virulent opponents was a maverick Jewish
“survivor” by the name of Mrs Sabina Citron. She claimed to have sur-
vived numerous Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, and
was now, along with her husband, the owner of a prosperous plastics
factory in Toronto. Just like California’s infamous Mel Mermelstein,
she was basically a one-[wo]man band; her Holocaust Remembrance
Association had been expelled from the Canadian Jewish Federation,
and thus was not subject to their strategy decisions. (Later on, her
single-mindedness and lack of discipline would get her into trouble
with the law: her business was fined $6000 for union-busting activities,
even though she had strenuously tried to avoid such a problem by
hiring only cheap labor from India.)
Throughout the early 1980s, Mrs Citron had waged a sniping at-
tack on Ziindel through the media. Then, sometime during 1983, she
was placed on the spot by a mischievous Canadian Broadcasting Cor- j
poration reporter, Steve Peabody. The CBC reporter showed Mrs |
Citron one of the 2000 copies of D6MRD? which Ziindel had mailed
out to the press in January 1980. Anxious. to “create” news, Peabody
asked Citron what she was going to do about it. Litigation was of
course the first option that sprang to her mind. ;
Of course, there was the problem of what cause of action she
could pursue. Since she was not mentioned by name in the booklet, she
could not sue for libel, and Canada does not [yet] have any “defama-
tion of the dead” laws, such as exist in West Germany. She could not f
sue under Canada’s “race hate” laws (§281.2) which, since 1970, had
made “willfully promoting hatred” into a criminal offense, because |
such law-suits were the prerogative of the Attorneys General. After
much head-scratching- and considerable, Talmudic scouring of The
Law- Mrs Citron and her lawyers pulled a remarkable rabbit out of
the hat. She would file a private suit against Ziindel for “publishing >
false news.”
14
According to this extremely obscure section (§177) of the
Canadian Criminal Code: “Everyone who willfully publishes a state-
ment, tale or news that he knows is false and that causes, or is likely to
cause, injury or mischief to a public interest, is guilty of an indictable
offense and is liable to imprisonment for two years.”
The advantage of this charge was that an action did not require
the approval' or sponsorship, of the Attorney General, though the At-
torney General did have the authority to take over the case once it had
been filed, if he felt it to be in the public interest.
The lawmakers had, of course, never intended this clause to inhibit
the expression of opinions or conclusions. The legislation was drawn
up in the days of the sailing ships, when communications with the old
country could take weeks or months. It was to prevent rumor monger-
ing along the lines of “the King is dead” or “the war is lost” which
would spread panic and unrest.
Of course, pone of this inhibited the gargoyle-like Mrs Sabina
Citron. She filed suit against Ernst Ziindel under §177, Alleging that
D6MRD? was “false news” and that Ziindel “knew it to be false” and
that the booklet “caused injury or mischief to a public interest” namely
racial harmony, since the Jewish community didn’t like it.
Apparently, she sent out press releases, bragging about her im-
pending service of the suit. For, on 28 November 1983, both Sabina
Citron and Ernst Ziindel were invited down to Hamilton, Ontario, to
appear on the Cherington Show — a daytime television chat-show
similar to the American Donahue, albeit without the live audience.
Mrs Citron was visibly upset that the precocious Englishman
Cherington (motto: “No Bull”) had dared to “ambush” her by con-
fronting her with her arch-enemy. She refused 'to address Ziindel
directly, and would only refer to him as "this person.” As usual, Ernst
Ziindel was right on top of everything.
- Ziindel had correctly anticipated that Mrs Citron would bring up
the old canard about the “Big Lie” and had brought along a copy of
Mein Kampf to prove that Hitler was denouncing the Big Lie techni-
que as Jewish; he was not' advocating that the Big Lie technique be
used against the Jews, 1 '
Ziindel finished off the' virulent virago with a few well-placed ju-
jitsu ploys. He compared her ignorant behavior to that of his own
mother; a peasant woman of little education who lived in a stone cot-
tage, who always treated everyone with courtesy and respect.
Ziindel challenged Mrs Citron’s allegation that he had been found
guilty of fomenting “race hate” in West Germany. The host immediate- 1
ly instructed his assistants to call up the West German consul in 1
15
Toronto, and to have him state-over the telephone, on live tele-
vision— what ZundePs legal status actually was;
Over the air, the voice of consul Dr Erast-Gunther Koch con-
tradicted the hideous harpy’s wild allegation that Ziindel had been
convicted of “race hate” in the Federal Republic of Germany, He con-
fessed that on 23 August 1982 the Stuttgart courts had found that there
was no evidence to support such a charge against Ziindel, and had dis-
missed the government’s case, ordering them to pay all Ziindel’s costs.
The reconstructed German bureaucrat added that his government was
trying a new tactic against Ziindel; in January 1983 they had refused to
renew his passport, thus stranding him in Canada, presumably for ever,
(After further legal battles, ZiindePs illegally-withdrawn passport was
finally restored in the Fall of 1987.
Mrs Citron s expression was crestfallen; but she still retained a
definite sneer (even more than she usually does) as if she had another
trick up her sleeve for Ziindel. Indeed, at the end of the show, the host
Cherington signed off with some flippant remarks about the argument
being tried “in court.” Ziindel left the studios, and drove back to
Toronto, puzzled.
It seems that ten days before the TV show, on 18 November, Mrs
Citron had sworn out her private complaint, in front of a justice of the
peace. A few days after the Cherington broadcast, on 2 December, a
process-server came to 206 Carlton Street, and handed Ziindel
Citron’s summons to appear in court on 28 December. The scene was
set for the Trial of the Century!
28 December 1983; Ziindel responded to the summons and ap-
peared at Toronto’s Old City Hall, which is now used as an overflow
courthouse to accommodate minor cases, arraignments, and the like.
Ziindel had hired his family lawyer, Mrs Lauren Marshall, to represent
him. However, a gang of about 30 supporters of the Jewish Defense
League lay in wait for Ziindel, and his small group of companions.
Heavily outnumbered, the Ziindelists were kicked, beaten, and spat
upon, by the JDL thugs. Ziindel himself was thrown to the ground;
after he regained his feet he had to elbow his way through the mel6e to
enter the courthouse. All of a sudden, reinforcements arrived with the
dramatic appearance of Don Andrews and his tough Band of
Canadian Nationalist Party members. This unexpected evening of the
odds forced the JDLers to back off, and sulk their way into the build-
ing, where they brazenly continued to hurl insults, though not blows, at
the Ziindelists. After all the commotion, the hearing lasted less than
ten minutes, and the case was adjourned until the New Year.
16
16 January 1984; Once again there was a reception party waiting
for the Ziindelists. But this time the Ziindelists were prepared. Ziindel
had been expecting more trouble, not only because of the ambush
three weeks before, but because of the night- and-day picketing at his
j business, and the telephoned threats, both of which were designed to
| wear him down physically, mentally, and financially. Ziindel invited all
f supporters he could muster, to accompany him to the courthouse.
Vj He himself wore a blue hard-hat and a bulletproof vest, as he led the
I phalanx of about 30 Ziindelists toward the courthouse steps, where a
(J f " mob of about 60 JDLers blocked the way, so that Ziindel had to
j literally fight his way up the steps and into the building. Here was the
ultimate irony of our modern situation: one bunch of Jews had sum-
1, moned Ziindel into court, and another bunch of Jews was trying to
! stop him! With totally inadequate police deployment, fighting broke
out immediately, and Eric Thomson was sent sprawling on the icy
• ground, where a Jewess (who’d have made Rosa Klebb look like she
wore sensible shoes”) proceeded to kick him. Before Provincial judge
William Ross, Mrs Citron’s lawyer Bob McGee indicated that the
i Crown would be taking over the prosecution of the case, and that he
i bad alread y turned over “volumes” of evidence to them. The Crown
prosecutor told the court that they were not yet ready to proceed, and
' needed a further postponement. In a trembling voice, defense lawyer
■ Lauren Marshall told the court that both she and her client were
harassed daily, and received death threats. One caller had even told
: ber seven year old daughter that “If your mommy goes to court, she’ll
be killed, Mrs Marshall asked for the case to /be heard as quickly as
possible.
| Judge Ross told the prosecution side that he was “somewhat
| chagrined at the two months delay since the accusation was sworn.
He ordered the case to be ready by 6 February 1984.
• After the brief hearing, Ziindel and Thomson jumped into a taxi,
pursued by irate JDL hooligans. Once again, the police presence was
absolutely inadequate,
6 February 1984; Ziindel pulled out all the stops for the indict-
I. ment hearing. He summoned supporters from all across Ontario, and
|’j upper New York state. In anticipation of a massive turnout, he brazen-
I ty chartered a Toronto city bus to transport the Ziindelists from Carl-
f ^ on Street to the downtown court-house. Instead of just Ziindel and
' ' one ^edic wearing hard-hats, this time every single Ziindelists was is-
sued a color-coded construction helmet: blue for Ziindel, white for the
j medic, and yellow for the rest. (In a back-handed compliment to
Ziindel’s brilliant imagination, Hollywood shortly thereafter produced
a tacky “splatter” movie about a populist politician. whose gimmick was
a hard-hat, but who was actually a Nazi megalomaniac at heart, itching
to start a nuclear war. In a double irony, the film, Dead Zone was
filmed at Niagara Falls, Ontario, because production costs were so
much cheaper than at an American location!)
To this day, we still do not know whether or not the lack of effec-
tive police deployment at the December and January hearings was a
deliberate attempt by the State to render Ziindel vulnerable to JDL as-
sault. (When Ziindel complained to the police about the night-and-day
picketing of his home/office, he was told that “Canada’s finest” could
do nothing for him, since they were “not a private security firm.”)
Whether their absence was deliberate, or due to incompetence, is open
to debate.
However, at the February hearing, the Toronto police were out in
force, to greet the bus-load of 40 or so Zhndelists, after their 10
minute ride from Carlton Street. Also on hand, as usual,, was a contin-
gent of 30-odd JDLers, led by one “Meir ha-Levi” (real name: Marvin
Weinstein) armed with walking-canes “after an outbreak of skiing acci-
dents.” The JDL was stunned and paralyzed, as the Zundelists climbed
off the bus in their yellow hard-hats, and formed a phalanx around
Ziindel escort him into Old City Hall. The massive police presence en-
sured that there was no contact between the JDL and the Zundelists;
but this so enraged the Jews that they instead vented their spleen on
any TV cameramen and reporters who happened to be filming the
Ziindelists’ defiant display of determination. Media people were
punched, kicked and beaten; cameras were jostled and blocked, in an
uncanny preview and rehearsal of the Israeli Jews’ behavior toward the
media on the West Bank, exactly four years later,
The Crown’s case was finally ready. They argued that Ziindel had
infringed- section §177 of the Canadian Criminal Code, in that he had
republished and distributed the booklet Did Six Million Really Die?
knowing it to be false; with the likely effect of “causing mischief,” Out
of the blue, they also threw in a second accusation of having published
a flyer entitled 77 te West, the War and Islam!, under the same cir-
cumstances and prohibitions. Ziindel pleaded Not Guilty, and elected
for a trial by jury. Judge William Ross ordered a Preliminary Trial to
begin on 18 June 1984, at Old City Hall; expected to last two weeks.
Throughout the Spring and early Summer of 1984, both sides
worked furiously to prepare and consolidate their positions. Having
the State apparatus at their disposal, the Crown prosecutors employed
two police officers to carry out their research at taxpayers’ expense,
while Ziindel had to rely on his own resources, expertise and intuition.
18 .
Ziindel sent out mass-mailings to scholars, writers, and scientists
all around the World, inviting them to contribute testimony or research
to the forthcoming Great Holocaust Trial, starting in June 1984.
Having already made valuable contacts, both through his attendance at
my 1979 IHR Convention and independently, Ziindel quickly amassed
an impressive guest-list of international Revisionist experts. Observing
that the cost of hotel rooms in downtown Toronto was (and is)
prohibitive, Ziindel determined to instead provide room-and-board to
all his guests right there at the Ziindelhaus. Since his wife had moved
out with their two sons several years earlier, and since his graphic arts
business had gone down the tube, Ziindel had lots of room for boar-
ders. However, provision had to be made for food, laundry, bathroom
facilities, study-time, and so on. (Ironically, Ziindel would eventually
spend more time taking care of groceries, plumbing, heating and
laundry, than he would performing Revisionist research! Being a true
leader, instead of a stuffed shirt, Ziindel would lead by example, and
would think nothing of collecting smelly socks and underwear from his
guests, so as to make up a washtub load.)
Inflamed by the lurid Exterminationist literature they were absorb-
ing, the State bureaucrats launched a nationwide crackdown against
Revisionism. On 12 May 1984 the authorities banned from importation
the Butz book, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century. Thirty copies were
seized from the bookstore at Red Deer College in Alberta. The books
were burned, and the English teacher who had ordered them, Dr Gary
Botting, was harassed and eventually fired. In August 1984, two armed
stormtroopers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police snatched two
Butz books off the shelves of the library at the University of Calgary,
also in Alberta. (After loud, but polite, protests from the library com-
munity, the books were eventually returned; we don’t know if any late
fees were charged.)
Also in Alberta, the state was closing in' on schoolteacher T im
Keegstra, who had dared to present unorthodox analyses of history to
his social studies classes. After a year of agitation, his detractors finally
had him fired in December 1982. Initially, the Alberta Teachers As-
sociation helped him file an (unsuccessful) lawsuit demanding rein-
statement, but within a few months the ATA was itself recommending
the revocation of his teaching certificate. A member of the Alberta le-
gislature, Stephen Stiles initially endorsed Keegstra’s “Holocaust”
skepticism ( Edmonton Journal 20 April 1983) but after a storm of pro-
test he meekly retracted his Revisionist statements, and begged for-
giveness from the Jews. Obviously slow to learn from his peers,- a
second Alberta politician, Bohdan Zip, gave a similarly skeptical inter-
19
view to the Edmonton Sun (22 February 1984) and likewise was im-
mediately contrite.' It would seem that in the province of Alberta,
politicians prefer starched shirts as a substitute for backbones.
But there was worse yet to come. On 11 January 1984, Keegstra
was formally charged with promoting “race hate” contrary to §281 of
the Canadian Criminal Code, by teaching his students to “hate Jews .”
(This was a quite different offense from ZundeFs “false news” charge.)
• Keegstra’s firing and subsequent prosecution generated considerable
publicity all across Canada. By chance, a libertarian lawyer way out on
the west coast of Canada, Doug Christie, happened to read about the
affair. He picked up the phone, obtained Keegstra’s number from In-
formation, and called Keegstra to express his concern over his plight.
Within a few minutes, Christie had become Keegstra’s lawyer for the
courtroom battle to come.
Keegstra’s preliminary hearing was held at the nearest big city,
Red Deer, from 4-15 June 1984. A parade of former students, and
former colleagues, testified— somewhat reluctantly— about Keegstra’s
teachings. The magistrate ruled that there was indeed sufficient
evidence for a full trial. After an unsuccessful appeal (October 1984)
that the charge was un-Constitutional; Keegstra’s trial began on 9
April 1985. On 20 July, the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and
Keegstra was sentenced to a C$5000 fine. Afterwards, the foreman of
the jury bizarrely offered to contribute to Keegstra’s fine fund. The
case was later appealed, and the result has yet to be announced.
Naturally, I did my best to help Keegstra, even though many of his
Christian views were repugnant to a devout Atheist such as myself. I
attended one day of the main trial at Red Deer in June 1985, and
returned a second time to participate in the concurrent Canadian
Library Association convention at nearby Calgary. Unlike their Cali-
fornia counterparts, the Canadian librarians allowed me to address
them at length regarding the perils of book-banning.
Although Ziindel would eventually obtain the legal services of the
battling British Columbia barrister Doug Christie himself, for the time
being he had to make do with his family lawyer, Mrs Lauren Marshall
Ziindel expressed [qualified] confidence in Mrs Marshall. She had
drawn up the legal papers for his marital separation. (Ziindel remains
legally married to Janick, even though they lead totally separate lives.)
And she had successfully represented various supporters who had
been arrested on demonstrations. She was essentially a libertarian: like
Professor Alan Dershowitz, she felt that even the most heinous defen-
dant deserved a vigorous defense, and an energetic defense lawyer.
20
Although she appeared to be a robust, street wise, criminal
lawyer —her specialty was “cottaging” offenses (= public homosexual
behavior) — in fact Mrs Marshall was quite severely traumatised by the
Ziindel preliminary, and its surrounding stress. She was unaccustomed
to the threats, the harassment,, the demonstrations, and— most of all—
she was unfamiliar with the subject-matter. Eventually, after the
Preliminary, she suffered a heart-attack, which required months of re-
cuperation . (
On 18 J une 1984, 1 flew directly into Toronto’s Pearson airport to
participate in the Ziindel defense team, at the preliminary trial. Even
though I had split from (my own) Institute for Historical Review, to
form Truth Missions, in April 1981, Ziindel was ecumenical enough to
solicit any and, all assistance. Unlike the new rCgime at the IHR, he
had no qualms about accepting assistance from dissident Revisionists:
after all, Revisionism is itself dissident.
Being aware of fhe previous month’s edict that the Hoax was now
prohibited, I determined to bring with me a copy of that same book to
use as a resource material I figured that if the Customs officers seized
it, this would taint the Crown s case against Ziindel, since he would hot
have had free access to all resources in his favor. If Canadian Customs
declined to seize the book, then this would mean that Revisionists
could effectively “thumb their noses” at Canadian book-bannings. '
When I arrived at Toronto airport on 18 June 1984, 1 declared my ‘
Butz book, both on my Customs form and verbally: “I have nothing to
declare but my Revisionism,” I announced; quoting an earlier son of
- tlie Emerald Isle, The inept Customs officer didn’t know what to do.
By telephone, he requested a superior officer to decide whether or not
a forbidden book should be allowed to enter Canada; even if it was a
resource item for a criminal defence. A female Customs-person ap-
peared. She wanted to know why I had been so bold as to declare this
forbidden book, instead of concealing it, as normal folks would do. She
too could not make a decision, and so a Jamaican- Canadian Customs
officer was summoned to issue the official ruling: he ordered his White
staffers to seize the “goddamned book,” and to give me a receipt
[#440044] so that the bureaucrats could dicker with me about it after-
wards.
Several months later, the Butz book was returned to me in Califor-
nia by mail, with a note attached, saying basically “Don’t try 'this 1
again.” \
In the meantime, the Ziindel preliminary trial got under way.*,,

V WHAT MAKES RONNIE RUN? cgntinued from page 24
younger generation, I must add that at this time, no respectable
country club in, America accepted Jews.
A few days later when Ronald Reagan found out about this rejec-
tion of Jack, he asked the management at ’Lakeside how this happened.
He was informed that Lakeside had the same policy as other such
clubs and accepted Gentiles only. ,
“You're anti-Semitic/' was Reagan's quick retort.
' “You're damned right we are/' he was told. “And we're proud of
it." ‘ . •
Mr. Reagan resigned from Lakeside immediately.
But when Warner heard that his actor, Reagan, had defended him
at Lakeside, he was not impressed. “So what?" he said.
Needless to say, all this took place more than 40 years ago. If some
club made these statements about Jews today, the people responsible
would go to jail and the club would be put out of business.
Jack Warner always tried to imitate William Randolph Hearst by
going to Europe and buying so many antiques that his associates
renamed his Beverly Hills estate “San Simeonejtte."
As soon as fvlr. Reagan resigned from Lakeside, he went right
over to the Jewish country club, Hillcrest In Beverly Hills. Although
most of the membership was indeed Jewish, a few non- Jews were al-
lowed to join so that no one could ever accuse them of being dis-
criminatory. Here actor Reagan played golf with Jack Benny and his
wife, Mary Livingstone; George Burns, Sam Israel, Harry Cohn and
Georgie Jessel. Given this environment during his formative years, is it
any wonder that Reagan still feels the hatred of our race which was in-
stilled in him by his Jewish masters and pals in Hollywood?
On September 12, 1941, the famous train, City of Los Angeles, left
Los Angeles for Dixon, Illinois, with both Reagan and Miss Parsons on
it for a “Louella Parsons Day." Later, she said, Mr. Reagan hogged
the microphone and made a longer speech than she did. He also got
more cheers from the homefolks r He was a politician even then.
Bob Hope, Jerry Colona, Joe E. Brown, Bebe Daniels, and Ben
Lyon were in Dixon for the big day. And Reagan gave his usual politi-
cal talks, promoting the aging FDR, now a complete invalid in a wheel-
chair, whose mind was equally diseased. “International Squadron," a
low-Budget Warner Brothers movie starring Ronald Reagan was
previewed in Dixon.
According to two books written by FDR's sons, the Roosevelt
family used to sit around the dinner table at the White House singing
Liberty Bell / May 1988 87
songs about Niggers and Jews.
James Roosevelt said they made up as many as forty verses to it;
but the chief refrain went like this, as FDR belted it out loudly, while
eyeing Eleanor across the table:
“You kiss the niggers,
And Fll kiss the Jews^
And we'll stay in the White House
As long as we choose.”
Can you possibly imagine any president today singing such songs
in the White House?
Much has been written in the press about Mr. Reagan's work at
the Music Corporation of America in the cause of unions. But they
failed to mention that a Chicago Jew named Julius Stein ran the MCA
and had acquired a monopoly over big bands in America. The
MCA/AFM alliance smacked of the kind of control practiced by
Chicago mobsters. Mr. Stein had been dealing with Al Capone and the
Chicago mobs since his early days when bootleg whisky was part of the
deal in booking bands. To get a decent band you had to buy rotgut liq-
uor too, at a high price. He arranged a truce with the Chicago Mafia,
cutting them in for a healthy percentage of both talent and alcohol
revenues.
Mobster tactics were not unknown in Hollywood. Willie Bioff, a
former pimp, was shaking down Kosher butchers there since 1933. Mr.
Bioff s partner and buddy was George Browne. These two thugs ex-
torted twenty thousand dollars from Barney Balaban, owner of a Mid-
western theater chain, under threats of a strike by the projectionists.
Mr. Bioff then took over the International Alliance of Theatrical
Stage Employees and Motion Picture Operators (IATSE). This scam
worked for many years, even threatening the men running the studios.
But IATSE did not represent all studio workers. The Screen Actors
Guild was independent, and actor Robert Montgomery headed it at
the time. Montgomery appealed to the executive board to hire an ex-
FBI agent to get something on Bioff that would incriminate him and
Browne. Mr. Bioff had a $100,000 loan from movie mogul Joseph
Schenk (chairman of the board at Twentieth Century-Fox). In the end,
Schenk plea-bargained to minimize his sentence to one year if he aided
the state against Bioff and Browne, who were convicted in 1941 and
sentenced to twenty years.
In 1940, Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman attended SAG meetings
together and the role of gangsters in the union was discussed, especial-
ly that of Jules Stein, Reagan's close friend. Power was Stein's objec-
tive; anonymity his credo.
Liberty Bell / May 1988
Mr. Stein's prot6g6 was Lew Wasserman, a former theater usher.
' When the Reagans met Mr. Wasserman, he was only 27 years old, but
he already held power. Stein told a reporter that Wasserman was the
student of his who surpassed his teacher. Mr. Wasserman and the
Reagans hit it off well from the first.
Mr. Taft Schreiber, who would later handle Reagan's finances, was
at this time a top executive in MCA. Mr. Reagan freely accepted
MCA's “guidance” without a fuss (career guidance).
When the Reagans signed with MCA, Jane was making $500 a
week. Soon MCA negotiated a three-year contract for her with
Warners for $2500 a week. And Wasserman managed to triple Mr.
Reagan's salary. No wonder Ronald Reagan was so respectful in doing
whatever MCA told him to do.
In thp early morning hours of May 18, 1941, Mr. Reagan's father,
Jack Reagan, died in Hollywood, California, thus giving the lie to
President Reagan's high , tale about his father's having died of
pneumonia 10 years earlier back in Illinois after sleeping in his car, (he
had refused to sleep in a hotel that did not accept Jews). Jack Reagan,
with actor Pat O'Brien, had been drinking heavily the night before his
untimely death.
Son Ronald admired old FDR so much that he even tried to speak
like him., FDR's little dog, Fala, got a lot of publicity, so actor Reagan
went out and bought two black Scotties as much like Roosevelt's dog
as he could find. He named them Scotch and Soda, FDR's favorite
drink.
Hal Wallis and Jack Warner had quite a tiff, each taking credit for
such pictures as “This Is the Army, Mr. Jones,” starring Ronald
Reagan.
Here is a telegram sent to Wallis by Jack Warner:
; i
<
> I RESENT AND WON’T STAND FOR YOUR CONTINUING
TO TAKE ALL CREDIT FOR “THIS IS THE ARMY”..., “GOD IS
MY CO-PILOT,” “PRINCESS O’ROURKE.” I HAPPENED TO BE
THE ONE WHO SAW THESE STORIES, READ THE PLAYS,
BOUGHT AND TURNED THEM OVER TO YOU.
Here is another wire sent to Charles Einfield, Warner’s director of
publicity:
i ,

DEFINITELY TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF THIS ISN’T
STOPPED....SICK AND TIRED OF EVERYONE TAKING ATT.

CREDIT AND I BECOME SMALL BOY AND DOING MOST OF
THE WORK.
Here is another telegram to Mr. Wallis, from Warner;
STOP GIVING ME DOUBLE TALK ON YOUR PUBLICITY.
THIS WIRE WILL SERVE NOTICE ON YOU THAT I WILL
TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF MY NAME HAS BEEN
ELIMINATED FROM ANY STORY IN ANY FORM, SHAPE OR
MANNER.
i
These petty and un-businesslike telegrams evidence the character
(or lack of it) of the man Jack Warner. Despite all his money and
power in Hollywood, the dapper Warner looked and felt like an in-
ferior person, always trying to get respect. He had an unbecoming
moustache, combed his hair sideways to hide his baldness, wore dated
pin-striped suits, and black patent leather shoes on his small, narrow
feet. He looked like a cross between an old-time medicine man and a
music hall clown,
The animosity between Wallis and Warner flared up again at the
Academy Awards ceremony in March of 1944 when “Casablanca” was
named Best Picture of the Year. It was always customary for the direc-
tor to receive the Oscar for any movie, so Wallis, intending to go up to
the stage to receive the award, stood up and attempted to get to the
aisle. But old Jack had foreseen this and deliberately seated members
of the Warner family on both sides of Mr. Wallis. They had implicit in-
structions from Jack not to allow Wallis to get out of the row. So they
blocked him in. It worked perfectly and Wallis was forced to sit down
again. Jack raced to the stage like a gazelle, with a flashing smile and a
look of great self-satisfaction on his face. He accepted the Oscar, took
all the credit for making the picture, and never once mentioned who
directed it.
Here is what Wallis told Los Angeles newspapers that night, “I
tried to get out of the row of seats and into the aisle but the Warner
family sat blocking me both ways and refused to let me out. I had no
choice but to sit down again, totally humiliated and furious.”
Later, the Academy sent Wallis an apology and an Oscar which he
had earned. Jack was asked to return his un-earned Oscar, but he
never did.
While living in Des Moines, Iowa, Mr. Reagan joined the cavalry
of the U.S. army, took the training course, and became a reserve of-
ficer. He didn't have the slightest interest in the army, but he wanted
UO Liberty Bell / May 1988
to learn to ride horses. He couldn't afford to join an expensive riding
club so he went to the army where he could ride free, along with draw-
ing regular pay. During the Depression, the army had no funds for
calling reserve officers to active duty so Reagan thought he would
never have to serve in this capacity.
However, World War II quickly changed all that and he received
orders to report for army duty at Fort Mason, California as a second
lieutenant in the Cavalry Reserve on April 8, 1942. But his only duty as
a second lieutenant consisted of loading convoys. He was the only
movie star at the camp and his commander, Colonel Phillip Booker, a
hard-line southern military man of the regular army, disliked him in-
tensely because of his bragging to other soldiers about his life in Hol-
lywood.
At the evening meal one night, Lt. Reagan said to the colonel,
“You and I have something in common,”
“How's that, Reagan?” growled the colonel.
Lt. Reagan replied, “Well, I understand that you are a graduate of
VMI and I once played in a picture about the VMI cadets, called
‘Brother Rat.' ”
Colonel Booker; “Yes, Reagan, I saw the picture and nothing ever
made me so damned mad in my life.”
Although actor Reagan played the role of a brave man many times
on the silver screen, in real life he was anything but brave about serv-
ing his country in war time. I doubt if any able-bodied man in America
ever had such an easy time of sitting out the war in Hollywood.
Through Jack Warner, actor Reagan had asked for and received
three temporary deferments from active army duty. His request for a
permanent one was turned down. Of course, Warner had an ulterior
motive in trying to keep actor Reagan out of the war. He wanted to
make money off him in movies while most leading men were absent
from Hollywood due to the war. •
On March 30, 1942, Jack Warner wrote the U.S. Army again ask-
ing for another deferment for his chief money maker of “B” films. This
time the army refused and sent the following telegram:
REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT ANOTHER DEFER-
MENT CANNOT BE GRANTED 2nd LT. RONALD WILSON
REAGAN, CAVALRY STOP SHORTAGE OF AVAILABLE OF-
FICERS PREVENTS FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION. Signed:
Horace Sykes, Colonel, AGD.ADJ, General, Ft. Douglas, Utah.
Believe it or not, Jack Warner, who disliked the military with a
Liberty BeU / May 1 988 ^
passion, as his tribe Usually does, and who never spent one day in the
army, finagled himself into getting a lieutenant colonel’s commission in
the Public Relations Division of the Army Air Corps. It pays to have
friends in Washington. I am not trying to tell you that this little Jew at
Warner Brothers was the only person who got special treatment in war
time. But his influence seems unbelievable to me.
Not only did this unqualified individual receive an automatic army
Commission, he got out of taking even one day of training for it. And
the division of the “army” to which he was assigned was at 4000 West
Olive Street in Burbauk, California, his own studio office. The only
thing different about it was that he now could wear an army uniform to
work instead of those awful pin-striped suits.
And guess what the next thing “Colonel” Warner did as an of-
ficer? He got Lieutenant Ronald Reagan transferred from the cavalry
to his own public relations unit just in the nick of time before his B-
star was about to be sent overseas like the rest of us,
If this tale were not true, it would amaze everyone connected with
it that such a legalized draft-dodging deal could be pulled off. Using
the old Hal Roach Studios in Culver City, California, renamed “Fort
Roach” to comply with existing army regulations, over 300 “officers
and enlisted men” with no previous military service or even training,
except for Reagan’s brief indoctrination period, reported for duty in
“Colonel” Warner’s army. They were writers, actors, directors,
cameramen, cutters, sound men, makeup artists, et al> assigned to Fort
Roach to make documentary and training films for the Army Air
Corps.
There was one more misrepresentation in the creation of this play
army in Hollywood to save these men from having to go to war. Army
regulations required that any Army Air Corps base be commanded by
a flying officer, Warner solved that problem by making Paul Mantz, his
studio stunt pilot, the official commanding officer with the rank of full
colonel in this little make-believe army in Hollywood, Mantz was the
only one of the lot who had ever been up in a plane. So, you might say,
he was the only logical choice.
Lieutenant Reagan was assigned the task of being the personnel
officer (assistant AAC public relations). He there interviewed ap-
plicants for commissions as officers in this motley army of draft
dodgers in uniform. Generally, the only criterion for becoming an of-
ficer, according to Reagan, was who looked best in a uniform,
I would have been ashamed to be associated with such an outfit.
But, apparently, Lieutenant Reagan was not. Here is his statement
about it to the press: “ A great many people harbor a feeling that the
, • Liberty Bell / May 1988
personnel of our motion picture unit are somehow draft dodgers in
uniform, avoiding all dangers of war. The army doesn’t work that way.
There was a special job that the army wanted done and we were the
men who could do it.”
From that defensively pompous statement one can easily see how
President Reagan can noW make so many such misleading statements
at the White House, The only difference is that his Hollywood state- ,
ments affected only a few people, but his official White House
decisions affect us all.
And actor Reagan wasn’t , the only one to hide behind the studio
walls for the duration. , Burgess Meredith, Alan Ladd, and Van
Johnson joined him. 1
Jack Warner, Colonel Jack that is, not wanting to be out-ranked
by his “full colonel” stunt pilot, put the pressure on Washington and
got himself promoted from lieutenant colonel to full colonel despite
the fact that he didn’t even know the correct insignia for this rank. He
didn’t have to serve as a mere lieutenant colonel very long. His promo-
tion to colonel came through on August 5, 1942.
At the same time, Jack tried to get Lt. Reagan promoted to first
lieutenant. This was denied by the War Department, by command of
Lieutenant General Hap Arnold and the denial was signed by Clifford
P. Bradley, Colonel, AC Chief, Military Personnel Division, ‘
Washington, D.C., on August 25, 1942.
But this rejection didn’t faze old Colonel Jack for very long, He
went around the general and, through members of Congress, he got
actor Reagan promoted to first lieutenant on October 1, 1942. So his
date of rank was slowed up by only two months before the War
Department was forced to promote Lt. Reagan.
To Lt. Reagan, Colonel Warner and the others in this fake Hol-
lywood army, World War II was a joke. And they had a high old time
while real Americans with no political pull in Washington were fighting
and dying overseas.
Lt. Reagan made a fun deal out of his army service by buying a
full dress uniform which he enjoyed wearing to fancy balls and
premieres. After the war, Lt. Reagan told friends that he had enjoyed
a socko time in the service, living at home and going to work at the
same studio just as he had in civilian life. He was never anything more
than a civilian in uniform anyway. He knew so little about the war that
he bet a fellow actor that it would be ovef by 1943. To his credit, he
paid the bet right on time. <

A gay time was had by all at “Fort Roach.” Jack and Reagan
wanted to send some hilarious “out-takes” 3 to the generals in
Washington, but discovered none had been saved. So they made a few.
In one, Reagan was shown chewing on a cigar and stabbing his pointer
at a wall map while briefing a squadron of bomber pilots on a vital
mission, and saying, “This is your target for tonight.” The wall map
snapped up like a runaway window shade and revealed the “target,” a
naked girl. It is unnecessary to specify the anatomical part of the target
. that was designated by Reagan’s pointer.
Lt. Reagan even made a joke out of his turns as night duty officer
at Fort Roach. He wrote in the official log: “At 3 A.M., post attacked
by three regiments of Japanese infantry. Led cavalry charge and
repulsed enemy. Quiet resumed,”
Another time, he wrote: “New officer indeed. Did they see me in
those West Point movies?”
Now you can better understand why President Reagan sometimes
gets the real world of foreign affairs mixed up with his own make-
believe one.
Lt. Reagan’s first training film was “Rear Gunner” in which he
was the narrator. The army was willing to give Warner Brothers credit
for making the film and thus generating good will toward the war ef-
fort. But sneaky Jack, always with an eye out for a quick buck, didn’t
care a damn about good will or helping America’s war effort. He just
wanted to sell the picture to theaters and make money for himself.
The army turned him down on his efforts to commercialize this
army training film with the following orders:
Army Orders
Memorandum
Chief, Pictorial Service
Army Air Corps
Maritime Building
18th and H Streets, N.W. '
Washington, D.C.
3. ‘Out-take* is the term that was (and may still be) used in the cinema business for
scenes, usually burlesque and often obscene, that were enacted by the actors an^ re-
corded by the cameras for their private amusement and were, of course, never in-
tended to be part of the film that was shown to the public. The more amusing or lewd
of these ‘out-takes* were sometimes shown for the entertainment of the actors’ pals and
associates. Some were precursors of the pornographic films that are so popular today.
The ‘out-takes’ were often burlesque parodies of scenes in the cinema on which the ac-
tors were working, and when they were enacted, the performers were said to be “hors-
ing around.” It is probable that no one in Hollywood who used that term knew that it
was an allusion to the morris dances of rustic England, some of which survived into the
present centuiy.

Attention: Major Keighley
Subject: REAR GUNNER
This office has screened the picture and disapproved any pos-
sible consideration of commercial release because the production
violates standing War Department policy in that professional ac-
tors who have been commissioned in the army play leading roles
(Reagan and Burgess Meredith)! Under the present decision,
screen actors now in the army will not be loaned out to studios
for the purpose of producing commercial pictures.

But old Colonel Jack was undaunted by army orders. He persisted
and went above the army, through his influence in Congress, and he
was given total commercial rights to “Rear Gunner,” which was a film
made by the government using tax funds. The picture was released as a
short” to accompany other Warner Brothers films in theaters.
Colonel W arner was in the enviable position of holding his rank while
remaining in Hollywood in his own studio, running it as always, and as
profitably. All through the war years, his memos flooded Hollywood,
signed by “Colonel Jack Warner.” His only regret was said to be that *
the war didn’t last long enough for him to become a general. God help
the army.
Conservatives in Congress got a little too miich of hearing about
Jack Warner, the Hollywood colonel. Even before the war started, they
were investigating the “war mongering” in his film making. Harry
Warner was called before a committee. Warner Brothers was accused
of making anti-German propaganda films in an effort to provoke war
and of twisting facts for ulterior motives. Harry read a prepared state-
ment in which he claimed that seventy percent of the U.S. books clas-
sified as “non-fiction,” at this time were anti-Nazi, while only ten per-
cent of his motion pictures were anti-German.
On January 1, 1942, Reagan received a deferment so he could
make the grossly anti-German picture called “Forced Landing,” later
renamed “Desperate Journey.” Actor Reagan said he got the greatest
enjoyment of his long career in making that picture. Here are his own
brave words, which he still repeats when he entertains visitors from ls^
rael: “My personal high spot was a solo effort in which I knocked an
arrogant German officer kicking, then calmly helped myself to his
breakfast.” . 11

Yes, our man Ronald Reagan was very brave when knocking down
German officers in the movies, But he certainly steered clear of any
actual fighting during the war. Being “brave” on a movie set with pan-
cake make-up and gelatin for blood is certainly not the same as being
at Iwo Jima where the blood and sand Were for real. It’s the same at-
titude he uses now in the White House when he orders the guns of the
U.S.S* New Jersey to kill innocent people in Lebanon and tries to blow
up Colonel Qaddafi of Libya and his entire family.
Yes, Mr. Reagan was quite brave while fighting the war on the sil-
ver screen in Hollywood, just as he is now when giving orders as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the U.S. armed forces. But what would he have
done in a real battle of life and death? ' ,
Nevertheless, after the war ended, he Went around making such
sffly statements as, “Like most soldiers! who came back from the war, I
expected a world suddenly reformed.'* i ,,
Now read carefully again those five little words: “came back from
the war,” Mr* Reagan never went to war, so how could he come back
from it? Like Senator Joseph Biden (D-Delaware), old Reagan fal-
sified his “war” service by pretending that he had served in Germany*
But he is caught in that lie, because everyone now knows his service
record. As several would-be presidential campaigners have found out
recently, you can't hide anything anymore when running for the highest
office in the land in the way old FDR and the almighty Kennedy
brothers hid things from the public, suck as their frailties and immoral
acts. Things have changed, , ‘ ,, .
; ’ Not only did Jack Warner influence Mr. Reagan, but the future ,
chief executive hung around with Jack Benny, QeOrge Burns and other
Hollywood Jews, who impressed Upon him the Zionist values that con-
trol him to this day* '• . •
Actor Reagan said many times to other film stars, such as Dick
Powell and George Murphy, “The trouble with you guys is that you <
think anyone who voted for President Roosevelt is a Communist.” That ,
silly statement clearly showed the superficiality of Mr, Reagan's think-
ing— or parroting of propaganda. 1
Actor Reagan was asked by his fellow Democrats in California to
run in the primary against Mrs. Helen Gehagan Douglas, a long-time,
supporter of Communist causes. He refused. If he had entered that .
primary and won, he would have had to face and debate another new-
comer to politics named Richard M. Nixon, the Republican candidate
in the general Congressional election. , . , ! I
'V In 1948, Mr. Reagan described Hollywood as made up of just a
group of liberals like himself. This quotation may be found on page
46 . Liberty Bell! May 1988
300 of a book entitled Early Reagan , by Anne Edwards, should any
reader want to look it up.
Mr. Reagan's career at Warner Brothers ended abruptly. He
wasn't exactly fired, but there was a considerable disagreement and
Jack Warner gave him a big push out the door. When he left the
Warner lot for the last time after 15 years of very loyal service to Jack,
there was no party, no gold watch and not even a good-bye from his
long-time friend, Jack Warner. He was told to leave the studio proper-
ty on January 28, 1952. He said later that by 2 P.M. that same day his
name had already been removed from his permanent parking place on
the lot. His final cheque was mailed to him.
He continued to make B and C movies for a time after this at
Monogram and other smaller studios.
In closing, let us return to some of the latest figures on President
Reagan's wild spending spree, covered up by public statements about
his being a conservative in fiscal matters. This man has led us to
bankruptcy.
Despite tall tales of substantial “cuts” in domestic welfare
programs, funding for such wasteful programs increased by fifty mil-
lion since President Reagan took office. He has outdone the
Democrats in unchecked spending on radical social programs. Fiscal
fraud would best describe this situation.
• Remember that pre-election promise by Mr. Reagan when he said
he would dismantle and do away with the unneeded and wasteful
Department of Education? I do! In 1981, this bureau spent fifteen
billion dollars a year. Under Mr. Reagan, it was not only not dis-
banded but it now spends twenty billion dollars a year. Do you call
that conservative spending? Or keeping promises?
• Aid to Families with Dependent Children: it cost $7,500,000,000
under President Carter and Mr. Reagan, who had pledged himself
to cut it, increased it to $9,600,000,000.
• Medicaid, which provides free health care for the poor, working
and non-working, cost the taxpayers $17,200,000,000 in 1981. It has
; now jumped to $26,600,000,000, an increase of nearly ten billion
dollars under President Reagan.
• The appropriation for the Department of Health and Human Ser-
vices was $59,600,000,000 in 1981. Mr. Reagan increased this by
thirty billion to nemly ninety billion dollars.
• Federal “entitlement programs,” including social welfare assis-
tance, cost $197,100,000,000 in 1981. This skyrocketed to
$477,000,000,000 under Mr. Reagan, whose pledge to reduce that
Liberty Bell / May 1 988 4 T
squandering was carried out by adding almost three hundred bil-
lion dollars of your money to the fund for political corruption and
revolution, ’
• Even the wasteful Student Loan Program, which Mr. Reagan
declared to be a fraud against the Treasury and which he said he
would abolish, went up from $2,300,000,000 to $2,700,000,000.
• Farm welfare programs. This budget was about twenty-one billion
and rose to fifty-one billion last year. And it has been used to
, make the plight of the farmers more parlous than ever —and to
dispossess many of them. ■,
• Food Stamps. This year's program is costing you taxpayers thirteen
billion, up from eleven billion. \ v

Never mind the party labels; You voted twice for a man you
thought was a conservative Republican, But, you got a two-term
Democratic president — old FDR the Second, : * / .>,• ;
My conclusion can best be expressed by isaying that when the man
who swept 49 states finally leaves office, a slight change should be
made in the music. The U.S. Marine Band should play “Hail to the
Thief." . '• ' : ' - ’ . ■ . V. :

The Ziomzation of Jesse Helms, continued from page 10
The venomous, vehement political backlash against his vote was
inevitable in the land of the golden leaf. Most colleges and hospitals in
his home state had been weaned on tobacco money from the Reynolds,
Dukes and lesser fat cats. The future of a host of small businesses in
North Carolina was inextricably intertwined with the nation’s smoking
habit. The predictable outcry was fed by the liberal press, while the
Democratic voting bloc chomped at the bit for Jesse’s Republican
scalp.
Even more distressing for Helms, no Senate-House conference
was ever held on the tax package. Instead of being deleted, the tobac-
co tax became law. Jesse’s anti-abortion bill got to the floor, only to be
defeated— as everyone, including its sponsor— knew it would be.
I had always wondered about Jesse’s preoccupation with abortion,
given his privately stated views on “niggers” and their rate of procrea-
tion. It was whispered through his office that years before a member of
Helm’s family had been sent to a home for unwed mothers. True or
not, the predominance of strict traditionalist Roman Catholics on his
legislative staff no doubt re-enforced his feelings against abortion. Yet
the state he supposedly represents has the lowest Catholic percentage
in the nation. As the 1984 election loomed, the stage was set for a
showdown between the Senator and the state’s generally popular,
ideologically flexible governor, Jim Hunt. What was Jesse to do? His
standing with the voters had sunk to a new low.
Helms and Martin Luther King Jr.
/
In the nick of time an unlooked-for opportunity presented itself —
a god-sent issue that would, as Jesse predicted, “go down good” in
North Carolina, The proposed Martin Luther King holiday was on the
Senate docket. Before the fight began, Jesse’s longtime pollster, Arthur
Finkelstein (“He’s a Jew, but he’s good,” Jesse allows), had his Client
almost 30 points down in the opinion polls, with a seemingly insure
mountable 3-plus-percent negative rating. Historically, when a
politician tries to placate people who won’t support him for ; any
reason, it’s a calamity at the ballot box.
Damning the torpedoes, Jesse followed his shrewdest instincts Uftd
turned up the burner on Rev. King. He did it not only because he had
1. In 1981 Jesse’s political action committee, the National Congressional Club, opened ^
Washington office for the purposes of clearing all federal patronage in North Carolina.
A Finkelstein prot£g£ and blood brother was appointed to that strategic outpost.

no use for the civil rights saint, but because it was politically expedient.
The harder the liberal-minority coalition attacked his “racism,” the
more popular he became. Pundits of all stripes who had previously
consigned Jesse to the political graveyard now fell strangely silent.
Something was afoot. Jesse was orating what most folks felt and
thought, and the folks were responding. To most of the electorate—
and not only in North Carolina -the King Holiday was a bad and in-
sulting joke, and “Jesse’s the only one with the guts to come out and
say it.”
But there was still that negative rating. Aside from the appoint-
ment of campaign spokesman Claude Allen, a black, much more had
to be done. 2
A combination of intestinal fortitude, jugular instinct, money and
common sense would be required to win the 1984 Senate race. Jesse’s
creator, gray eminence and commander to the faithful, Tom Ellis, and
pollster Finkelstein got their heads together and unleashed one of the
most furious and hard-hitting campaigns ever seen in (J.S. politics.
One stumbling block was Jesse’s design on the Foreign Relations
Committee. If Senator Charles Percy of Illinois, the committee chair-
man, lost his seat, and Jesse kept his and the Republicans retained
control of the Senate, then the North Carolinian would be in line for
the chairmanship. Accordingly, he became the #2 target of the pro-Is-
rael lobby in the 1984 election, the #1 enemy being Percy, who had
2. The appointment was somewhat hypocritical in view of Helms’s attitude toward
blacks. For years he referred to Negroes as "Freds,” a code word coined by his staff
during his First Senate term so his anti-black talk would not be understood if overheard.
When Helms invited Bishop Abel Muzorewa of what was then Rhodesia to the U.S, to
plead his case, the Senator arranged a red-carpet trip to Asheville so the black
churchman could see an elderly former teacher. In the course of his visit there, the
bishop wrote $2,000 worth of rubber checks. ‘That nigger!” Helms commented. Once
when a Negro driver suddenly swerved in front of him in traffic, Jesse said, "All right,
be a nigger!” Such talk from him is commonplace in private.
In spite of his opinion of Negroes, Jesse was never too strong on race. He took the
side of Argentina in the Falklands war. He was the Senate’s chief opponent of the
Genocide Treaty and for years had single-handedly held it up in the Foreign Relations
Committee. As a test of his conversion to the Zionist cause, the Jewish lobby ap-
proached him and pointed out how important the treaty was to Jews. They acknow-
ledged his longstanding reservations on its infringements of national sovereignty and on
the scaiy prospect of U.S. citizens being subjected to rulings of an international
tribunal. All they asked him was to give it a fair chance. Just let it out of committee,
that’s all.
Jesse knew if the treaty got to the Senate floor it would be passed, but he let it go.
Before the full Senate, the country’s "most conservative senator” fought the Genocide
Treaty tooth and nail and was soundly defeated, as he was sure he would be. Many of
his gullible supporters, unaware of his committee cave-in, praised his "courageous”
stand.
made the grievous error of recommending that the U.S. tone down its
warmongering pro-Zionism. If Jesse was re-elected, would he “desert
tobacco” and give up his Agriculture Committee chairmanship? He
promised his farming constituents he would not. 3
Finkelstein and Ellis reminded the senator of his “Jewish
problem,” which was not altogether dissimilar from his Jim Hunt
problem. Yet the last thing Jesse had on his mind was appeasing Hunt.
So, he ruminated, why appease the Jews? (His only prominent Jewish
contributor was Ivan Boesky,) 4 But he couldn’t help but envy the lavish
Jewish fundraisers in Palm Beach and Beverly Hills that were netting
the Hunt campaign massive sums. At that point in time, Michael
Kleiner appeared on the scene.
Soon the senator was spending a great deal of time with Knesset
member Kleiner, a “conservative” Israeli politician who belonged to
the Herut Party. Kleiner, with an assist from Peter Goldman of the
pathologically Zionist group, Americans for a Safe Israel, was busy
convincing Jesse that Israel was America’s only ally in the Middle East.
Although he had been the Senate’s loudest anti-Israel voice (practical-
ly a minority of one), Kleiner and Goldman didn’t need to twist Helm’s
arm too hard. 5
By hunkering down and spending some $25 million on his race,
and with the help of Claude Allen, pollster Finkelstein and numerous
conferences with Kleiner (to ease the pressure from the Israeli lobby),
Jesse squeaked by with 51.95% of the vote. Once re-elected, he im-
mediately set about attaining his dream chairmanship of the Foreign
3. Perhaps the earliest indication that Jesse would one day play ball with the Zionists
was his 1980 sanction of the so-called "Madison Group,” a foreign policy roundtable
headed by Helms’s kosher conservative minion, John Carbaugh. Taking its name from
its meeting place, American-based Israelite Marshall Coyne’s Madison Hotel, the
group’s primary mission was to funnel information to the Reagan campaign’s foreign
and defense apparatus, in the process of favorably positioning its members for jobs in a
Reagan administration. Decidedly pro-Israel, the only adherents of the group to be
awarded jobs were Mark Schneider at the National Security Council and Richard Perle
at Defense, both of the Chosen persuasion. Much of the remainder of the group even-
tually wound up on Jesse’s Senate payroll rather than in the administration to which
they had so assiduously groveled.
4. The Senator’s personal hero is and has long been Winston Churchill, whose grave he
visited with great reverence during a U.K. junket. Political lackeys once gifted old Jesse
with a truckling biography of their shared hero.
5. The Senator’s opinion of Jews, before he saw the (financial) light, was definitely
negative. When Senator Howard Metzenbaum’s office declined a gift Jesse’s office was
distributing, Helms joked, “Maybe I should send the Jew a ham.”

Relations Committee, even while assuring the pundits that “It is my in-
tent to remain as chairman of Agriculture.” Some weeks later, from his
Raleigh office, Jesse had his entire Washington staff 6 on the phone in
a conference call and gave instructions not to talk to the press about
what he would or would not do regarding the chairmanship. He
warned staffers, “If you do, it will be your job.”
The Sanctity of a Helms Promise
Chief legislative aide James P. Lucier, an ultramontane Catholic
with a Ph.D. in English literature (an odd kind of braintruster for a
Baptist college dropout), was instructed to conduct discreet interviews
in preparation for hiring a Foreign Relations staff. 7 Meanwhile a plan
was hatched to orchestrate a statewide grass roots campaign calling
upon Jesse to take over the Foreign Relations chair.
Among the religious potentates enlisted, Rev. Jerry Falwell was
the pivotal figure. His job was to get the “born agains” on the
bandwagon, as he had done so successfully in the Senate race.
North Carolina tobacco and agricultural magnates were being ap-
proached with the rationale that Jesse deserved the Foreign Relations
chairmanship because of tobacco’s prominence in foreign trade.
Bunker Hunt agreed to bankroll the effort, reportedly promising
to shell out “Whatever you need.” Senator Richard Lugar, second in
seniority to Helms on both the Agriculture and Foreign Relations
Committees, would get the chairmanship of the former, and Jesse
would stay on at Agriculture by chairing a new Subcommittee on
Tobacco. Accordingly, Jesse’s promise not to desert tobacco would be
6. Helms’s present staff includes Deborah DeMoss, the sister of Mark DeMoss, a top
Falwell aide. Their mother is a countiy girl from North Carolina; their late father, Art
DeMoss., was a Greek who made millions in insurance and became one of Falwell’s
financial angels, Jesse and Falwell often hitch rides on the DeMoss family jet. Deborah,
who lives in the expensive Watergate apartment complex, is bright, fluent in Spanish
and very bom again,
7. Lucier, despite his current political and religious leanings, once wrote a glowing
obituary of white supremacist Ernest Sevier Cox while serving as Jack Kilpatrick’s un-
derstudy at the Richmond News Leader . It was in this capacity that Lucier came to know
Helms, prior to the days of his free trips to Israel and service as Jesse’s contact man
with Michael Kleiner, Meir Kahane and a host of other Israel-first luminaries.
8. Falwell still phones Helms about once a week. The fundamentalist Senator also keeps
in close contact with other prominent Bible belters. Pat Robertson and his wife have
spent at least one weekend with the Helmses at their Lake Gaston home. Mrs. Helms,
by the way, stuck a prayer for her husband’s victory in his 1972 Senate race in
Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall.

V
fulfilled, “For the first time in history we would have an entire subcom-
mittee just for tobacco,” boasted one aide.
Newspaper ads were composed; TV story boards were produced.
“We know you promised, but we need you” was the theme. Profes-
sional conservatives Howard Phillips and Paul Weyrich were deeply in-
volved in the prospective campaign. Many prominent Christian fun-
damentalists added their voices to the chorus of those who demanded
that Jesse should be forgiven for reneging on his most solemn cam-
paign promise. »
The press relations juggernaut was just beginning to gain steam,
and was preparing to go public when Senator Rudy Boschwitz (R-MN)
suddenly threw what might be described as a Jewish curve, The lumber
millionaire and member of the Foreign Relations Committee an-
nounced that if Helms attempted to become chairman, he would call
for a vote of the committee and cast his ballot against Jesse. Under the
rules, any member could call for a vote to approve or disapprove of a
chairman, and the vote was binding. Boschwitz’s threat was enough to
derail Jesse’s best-laid plans.
Senator Paula Hawkins (R-FL), another committee member,
responding to questions from a south Florida Jewish group, said that if
Jesse persisted in his bid, she too would call for a vote. With a 9-8
balance in favor of the Republicans, all that was necessary was one
GOP defection, and two were already certain.
Despite his latter-day palling around with Kleiner, Jesse’s pro-Is-
rael track record was pretty dismal. In a CNN interview during the in-
vasion of Lebanon, Jesse had said that if Israel did, not clean up its act,
“We’ve got to shut down diplomatic relations.” With that statement on
the record, it was hard for him to do the necessary spine-bending re-
quired of politicians who have not proved their unswerving loyalty to
Zionism and need to get back in the good graces <of Jewish organiza-
tions. As the press bored in on Jesse’s predicament, Lucier asked his
boss what he was supposed to tell the people who were ready to go
public with the ads and the “grass roots” campaign. The answer was,
“Tell them anything you want to.”
Because of the threatened defections of Boschwitz and Hawkins,
the only remaining way Helms could get the chairmanship was through
seniority, a semi-sacred Senate institution. If Lugar was elected
Majority leader, he would automatically lose his chairmanship. Next in
seniority was Charles Mathias (R-MD), who had experienced some
mild turbulence with the Jewish lobby. Mathias’s left-wing voting
record engendered the hope that if Lugar did get the Majority

55
Leader's post, the White House and others would see that Jesse got
his dream.
Helms maintained a strange silence about his plans. Three minutes
after Bob Dole, not Lugar, was elected Majority Leader, minions of
the fourth estate camped outside Jesse's office, waiting “for the an-
nouncement on the chairmanship." Lucier, totally in the dark, stormed
over to Jesse's hideaway office in the Capitol in search of his master.
The moment Lucier left, Helms sprang out from around a corner (one
of his favorite tricks) and announced before the cameras that he was
keeping his promise to the people of North Carolina. “I will remain as
chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee. "
Moments later, while consoling two tearful female and one shock-
ed male foreign policy aides in his private office, Helms said some
“good things" would happen on the committee. One “good thing" was
that Claude Allen, Jesse's token black, was hired by Chairman Lugar
to handle some Africa legislation and press relations work.
The accolades from North Carolina were overwhelming. Jesse had
kept his word to the folks back home and turned down “all that
power." “Jesse is honest, Jesse is true," could be heard at many church
and political gatherings. Bunker Hunt's reaction was less enthusiastic:
“I didn't spend a million dollars to protect tobacco in North Carolina."
Though many involved in the foreign relations gambit had wanted
Helms to go ahead and fight it out with Boschwitz and the liberals,
Jesse knew better.
But he didn't give up. After the Republicans lost control of the
Senate in the 1986 elections, Jesse defeated Lugar for the post of rank-
ing minority member on Foreign Relations in a hotly contested battle. 9
A Toady of Israel
Today Helms, a late-blooming but zealous convert to the cause of
Zion, is one of Israel's best friends in the Senate. He has stated that
the U.S. should “never pursue any plans that envisions a separation of
the West Bank from Israel." During a trip to Israel in 1985— arranged
and paid for by Senator Chic Hecht (R-NV) and Robert Jacobs, the

Zionists Bob Friedlander and Danyl Nuremburg, the former a counsel and the latter

on Jesse’s Ag Committee staff, and is the boyfriend of Senator Hecht’s daughter.
Others include one staffer repeatedly dismissed from previous positions for intelligence

African government, and yet another who was forced out of a previous staff position be-

moneybags of Meir Kahane— Jesse treated the press to a daily output
of pro-Israel massaging.
Writing for the pro-Zionist Heritage Foundation's Policy Review
magazine, in an article entitled “Keeping Faith: A Baptist Deacon
reflects on American Policy Toward Israel," Jesse said,
9
Israel is really our only reliable ally in the Middle East. Only
Israel can oppose Soviet hegemony over the entire area.
In September 1985, Jesse advocated moving the U.S. embassy
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the following month he went on record
against an arms sale to Jordan. In February 1986 he endorsed and
raised funds for Bruce Herschensohn, the Jewish candidate in the
Republican primary for a California Senate seat. It was both impolitic
and discourteous for the senator to make such an endorsement with so
many conservatives still in the primary race, which was eventually won
by Ed Zschau. Congressional Club staffers in North Carolina were dis-
patched to California to work around the clock for Herschensohn.
In an unusual move, Jesse went out of his way to remain neutral
and remove himself (to the point of disowning) his own political action
committee's candidate for the Senate seat of the retiring John East of
North Carolina. The candidate, David B. Funderburk, a Fulbright
scholar and former ambassador to Romania, was no favorite of the
Jewish lobby. He had openly solicited the support and cooperation of
Jewish leaders, in both Romania and the U.S., to help speed the emi-
gration of persecuted Christians from the Soviet puppet state. In his
solicitation he had been so impolitic as to remindHews that they were
not the only ones who had been oppressed by Communist regimes.
Since an army cannot hope to win without the. support of its com-
manding general, the Funderburk campaign was doomed from the
start by Jesse's repeated refusal to endorse or even put in a good word
for the candidate. In the end Funderburk lost the primary to Con-
gressman James Broyhill by 67% to 30% (with 3% going to White
Patriot leader Glenn Miller). Broyhill lost in the general election to
left-leaning Terry Sanford.
White Patriots Betrayed
But the desertion of Funderburk was piddling compared to what
Jesse did to the White Patriot Party. Back in late 1980 Jesse and staf-
fer Sam Currin met to plot pre-election strategy. As they looked ahead
to 1984, Governor Jim Hunt seemed all but unbeatable. Wise in the
ways of political warfare, Jesse managed to get Currin appointed U.S.
56
Liberty Bell /May 1988

57
attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, With the help of
two other pro-Helms U.S. attorneys, Currin was then in a strategic
position to find skeletons in Hunt’s closet.
Numerous politically inspired prosecutions failed to damage the
governor directly, though they tainted some of his cronies. Dovetailing
with the negative campaign against Hunt, the cooked-up investigations
certainly had an impact. If nothing else, the governor had to spend
more time looking over his shoulder and assuming a defensive posture.
Currin and Jesse met privately— and frequently— in Raleigh during the
height of the campaign. Both were politically active Baptists and were,
understandably, members of the same social circles. But they must
have had more to talk about than church socials. The targeted probes
against Hunt & Co. must have been discussed— not an altogether un-
common abuse in U.S. politics. 1 ,
Following Helms’s 1984 victory, a dual use of the U.S, Attorney’s
office was devised. Jesse wanted to put Currin, a rock-ribbed conserva-
tive, on the federal bench. But he also needed to ingratiate himself
with the Jewish lobby, He was not surprised that when Currin’s name
was submitted, all hell broke loose. Not only were Senate liberals
determined to block the nomination, but more than 25 prominent
Raleigh area lawyers publicly announced their opposition, including
Jesse’s old friend and poker-playing Buddy, Judge James H, Bailey.
The upshot was that Currin needed to placate the liberals and
Jews on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and he needed to placate
them fast. So what case did Currin personally prosecute? What better
high profile bootlicking assignment than to go after the White Patriot
Party? Night after night Currin could be seen on the evening TV news
talking about the “evil” White Patriots. Nothing could have played into
Currin’s hands any better than Glenn Miller’s widely publicized death
threat against him.
Currin pursued the White- Patriot Party, before and after the death
threat, with a zeal that surpassed his 1984 electioneering for Jesse.
When the Currin nomination for federal judge had to be withdrawn,
after the Democrats won back control of the Senate, there was some
consolation for his sponsor. One pro-Israel lobbyist was quoted as
spying, “Helms’s man [Currin] is doing a good job with that bunch [the
White Patriot Party] in North Carolina,”
Some of the most severe jail sentences for the White Patriots were
handed down by Judge Terrence Boyle, a New Jersey native who
presides over the federal bench in Elisabeth City (NC). He was
nominated for the post by Helms and is the son-in-law of Tom Ellis,

As of now, Helms, the champion of Christian values, the defender
of South Africa, the Senate’s chief opponent of foreign aid and Soviet
imperialism, and the onetime' archenemy of Jewish expansionism,
stands as the most slavish lackey of the Zionist lobby. He has com-
pletely sold out and turned his back on his own people— all for the
leadership position on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and
whatever other pieces of silver he can accumulate. There' are plenty of
Majority renegades, but most never pretended to be anything else.
Journalist Joe Maynor once said of Jesse, “Papa was the first
teacher that Jesse Helms Jr. had, and the lessons he taught were based
on a strict code of hard work, justice and moral conduct.” Wonder
what Papa would think of Jesse’s modern day pandering to his new
masters?
Though saddened, angered and betrayed, Majority activists should
not be disheartened. Any present-day U.S. politician, no matter what
his public pronouncements and party affiliation, will swallow whatever
principles he has left and turn against his own people in order to get
campaign funds and a friendly nod from the media.
Helm’s actions are par for the American political course in the
late 20th century. They should remind us once again never to put one
iota of faith in any present-day legislator or government official who
attains “national status.” To reach a high position on the political
totem pole, the politician must become a walking, talking, voting
renegade. Whatever he does in the White House, in Congress or on
the Supreme Court will be for himself and the minorities*- and against
us.
Those who wish to fight for the survival of the American Majority
must start with a clean slate— and this means a clean political slate.
Anyone who has attained any high political office in this country in
these times must have played by the rules of “politics as usual,” which
by definition makes him a mortal enemy. □
