This is the first diary I have ever written. This past week, while working in the stacks of the public library, my co-worker and I were handed a newspaper. "Hope you enjoy it!" exclaimed Patron X.
I did not enjoy it. I threw it in the recycling bin and then washed my hands.
Today, however, I dug it out of the recycling bin and hit the Google.
Dear Patron X: How dare you hand us your hate literature and think we'll enjoy it. How could you give somebody you don't know an anti-Semitic, racist periodical? Do you just assume all white people are open to your vile beliefs? Think again. I hope the director's scolding embarassed you. You should be ashamed.
I seriously cannot believe a person would hand a perfect stranger something like what I'll detail below the magic squiggle. I don't think I'm naive. I know this garbage is out there. I will not link to the websites mentioned in this newspaper; no hits for hate is my motto.
The newspaper is called The First Freedom and it is published in a tiny town of approximately 616 people in Alabama. It's publisher is a man named Olaf Childress, a long-time neo-confederate who once held a funeral for the 14th Amendment.
There is a Confederate flag in the upper left corner of the front page. The paper's motto is "Inviting the Zionist-controlled media'cracy to meet a rising free South."
The front page is an almost surreal melange of anti-white bias complaints, flirtation with Holocaust denial, and blaming Israel for 9/11.
Page 2 contains snippets of news that were "ignored or misreported elsewhere." You'll be surprised to learn that "fags have taken over the necktie industry," and the evidence is that Bill O'Reilly wore a lavender tie on television. Jewish censors have also gotten to WordPress, in case you were wondering why it's so wonky.
On Page 3 is an article by the Rev. Ted Pike decrying hate crime laws. The Southern Poverty Law Center points out that Pike has articles featured on Catholic Apologetics International's website. CAI is a radical traditionalist Catholic organization founded by Robert Sungenis, a rabid anti-Semite. Mr. Pike is the head of the National Prayer Network, and in 2007 penned an anti-Jewish essay declaring the Talmud to be "full of moral filth."
Page 4: The Council of Conservative Citizens explains miscegenation, using the "multicultural hellhole" of Brazil as an example. PS: Hollywood is run by Jews. Two articles on pages 4 and 5 refer to President Obummer, who is apparently speeding our descent into socialism and giving guns to Mexican gangsters.
Page 6: White liberals hate white working class Americans. Everybody talks about black slavery, but what about white slavery? PS: Israel caused 9/11, in case you didn't catch the hint on the front page.
Page 7: The 14th Amendment is a fraud. The article never says it explicitly, but I suspect the 14th amendment is hated due to the citizenship rights given to the melanin enhanced.
Page 8: Truly, the highlight of this page is an ad for the DVD "Off Your Knees, Germany!" It is the creation of Ernst Zundel, producer of pro-Nazi propaganda like "Did Six Million Really Die?"
Page 9: The Sound of Music is anti-Austrian propaganda. The Anschluss brought economic prosperity to the nation, according to Mark Weber, Holocaust Denialist and member of the Institute of Historical Review. In 2009, Weber caught flak from other denialists when he publicly pondered the relevance of Holocaust denial and wanted to focus more on battling Zionist power.
Page 10: The Tao of Ed...that's Edgar J Steele, arrested in 2010 for hiring a hitman to kill his wife and her mother. Steels is a White Nationalist who has referred to MLK Day as "Marchin' Killin' Lootin' Day." Prior to his arrest, he had spoken at a number of Aryan events and started a website devoted to defending racism.
Page 13: High praise for Vladimir Putin. Another article claims Obama is a "Ziopuppet." I have heard the term "Zionist puppet" before, but I have never seen it shortened like that.
Page 15: An Indian "journalist" compares Jews to Brahmins. As it turns out, Jews are more misogynist and bloodthirsty than Brahmins.
Page 17: A retired military officer delivers an anti-government rant aimed at the DMV. Apparently, he had to pay a fee for something and that angered him.
Page 18-20: Word salad disguised as a letter from a Belgian Nazi to Pope John Paul II. The late Pope is condemned for visiting Auschwitz.
Page 22: This section is called MLK Boulevard. Here we read about a "Coke-crazed negro killing 7 whites in Michigan." Instead of a sensitive discussion about crime or the victims, we discover that racial diversity leads to murder and that "those people" will kill each other over a chicken bone or crack rock. They are called apes and the products of Jewish social engineering. Another article on this page talks about "welfare queens" and "parasites" in Texas greedily grasping for rental vouchers. You see, "blacks and "browns" have been getting a free ride on the white man's back.
The 24th and final page is covered in more word salad, this time courtesy of Olaf Childress, publisher. Feast upon the tired canard of Jews running the banks of the world, decrying World War II as a war on our fellow Aryans, and stale apologia for Joe McCarthy.
I really don't have the words to describe how offensive and sickening this little hate rag was. If someone can explain the psychology of a person who would not only buy into this but hand it out to an unknown audience, I am all ears. And to hand it out in a library, a place devoted to education, facts, and enlightenment, of all places. Thanks for listening.
