Read on:\r\n\r\nRe: the CCC: This group considers interracial marriage "white genocide" and prints anti-Semitic diatribes in its publication, The Citizen Informer. "Western civilization with all its might and glory would never have achieved its greatness without the directing hand of God and the creative genius of the white race," wrote Robert Patterson, a CCC columnist last autumn. "Any effort to destroy the race by a mixture of black blood is an effort to destroy Western civilization itself." "There is still time," wrote Patterson in another piece. "The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 should be repealed!"\r\n\r\nFounded in 1985, the CCC is the successor to the racist Citizens Council of America (CCA)--commonly known as the White Citizens Councils--which was founded to oppose school desegregation in the 1950s and was called the "white-collar Ku Klux Klan." One of the CCA's members, Byron de la Beckwith, was the assassin of civil rights leader Medgar Evers.\r\n\r\nIn a report issued in December the Southern Poverty Law Center was able to link 17 of the publicly known CCC members to various white supremacist and fascist organizations, including the Invisible Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the National Association for the Advancement of White People, the America First Party, and the National Alliance. A delegation from the CCC attended a rally held by the French neo-fascist National Front of Jean-Marie Le Pen in September 1998. The CCC also has ties to the British National Front and its successor, the British National Party.\r\n\r\nIn 1995 CCC leader Gordon Baum attempted to recruit a man known as the head of security for the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations organization, Vince Reed, into his outfit. Reed, in fact, was an undercover agent specializing in work in terrorist organizations. According to Reed, Baum told him, "The power is not out there in the gun, it's inside Congress. You can battle for the rest of your life with guns and explosives, and you aren't going anywhere. We've got to do it from the inside."\r\n\r\n","author":"hazard","parent_id":34783,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-03-11 20:43:14","modified":"2003-03-11 20:43:14","fileurl":""},{"id":34863,"heading":"JHC","article":"I've noticed this KPC is like that, too.
