Interview with Samuel A. Weems: Fabricated Armenian Genocide...
Tuesday, 01 July 2008
The Truth about Fabricated Armenian Genocide Claims, Scottish American
Christian Author Reveals
Exclusive interview with Samuel A. Weems, author of "Armenia:The Great
Deception-Secrets of a 'Christian' Terrorist State."
The book by Samuel A. Weems, the author provides evidence that
Armenians have in the past, and still today, continue to play the
Christian versus Muslim religion-race-ethnic card with great success,
regardless of truth.
The author seeks to expose the selfish and wrong actions by the state
of Armenia and demonstrate how this country obtains foreign aid from
Christian nations and funding by Christian churches. Weems states that
foreign aid is the number one import of this state, and terrorism is
its number one export. The book answers many questions and is the
first work that has researched the Armenian Apostolic Church and its
leadership role in state sponsored terrorism.
The author of "Armenia: The Great Deception-Secrets of a 'Christian'
Terrorist State" uses evidence derived from Armenian historians, as
well as American, British and Russian eyewitnesses. It also describes
how Armenian dictators have misled their own people, and how Armenia
has fought against and opposed the United States War on Terrorism for
its own self-interests.
TDN: What are the causes of modern-day Armenian terrorism?
WEEMS: I think there are two basic root causes of modern-day Armenian
terrorism. First, even though the Armenian Church claims to be the
oldest official state church in the world, there is no separation of
church and state.
The Armenian Church has been an active partner in state sponsored
terrorism, dating back to the 1890s and earlier. The second root cause
of modern-day Armenian terrorism is the political structure in Armenia
that also dates back to 1890.
Politics and state-sponsored terrorism are one, beginning with the
Bell (Hinchak) and Armenian Revolutionary Federation's (Dashnak)
statement of purpose. These official terrorist policies continue to
this day.
TDN: It has been reported that the Armenian members of the Turkish-
Armenian Reconciliation Committee withdrew from talks because of
threats. Do you know why the Armenian committee members withdrew?
WEEMS: I have followed the activities of this committee closely. This
committee was nothing more than an Armenian scam and con job from day
one! Armenians had an agenda and this is why they agreed to a six-
member Turkish Committee with only four Armenians.
The Armenian members, from day one, claimed that it was an established
fact there was a genocide of 1.5 Million Armenians in 1915 and that
Turkey must pay reparations of money and land to Armenia. The reason
the Armenians wanted a 6 to 4 Turkish Committee majority was because
they thought they could convince the Turkish majority into agreeing to
have an American Institution make a determination, that the 1948
United Nations Jewish findings of fact would also apply to their
alleged 1915 genocide. Had the Armenians been able to talk their way
into such a finding by a committee that was majority Turkish, they
would have achieved two things to use to create pro-Armenian/anti-Turk
world opinion:
First, that a handpicked United States institution had made a finding
that there was a genocide equal to the Jewish Genocide UN findings of
1948. Second, that a majority Turkish Committee had arranged for such
a determination.
In my view, there were never real threats by Armenians to the Armenian
Committee members. Such claims were made to divert attention in an
effort to deceive the Turkish members.
TDN: Has the U.S. political system been used by ethnic lobbies for the
interests of Armenia?
WEEMS: Yes! Armenians established in the United States, what they
called their "Armenian Colony," in about 1918. Armenia sent thousands
of their citizens to the United States to lobby America for money and
support from individual Christians, Christian churches and the U.S.
Government. This Armenian lobby has been most successful and continues
its activities to this day. The reason for their success is because
they play the ethnic race/Christian versus Muslim cards so well. The
Armenians know that there is no "Muslim" lobby to refute and oppose
them.
TDN: Do you have personal knowledge that Armenian Americans place
their special interests above vital U.S. interests?
WEEMS: Yes! Here is but one example of proof certain that Armenian-
Americans do such things. President Bush stated after September 11th
that it was in the best interest of the United States to reach out and
build friendships throughout the Muslim world.
One such Muslim country the President reached out to was Azerbaijan.
Armenian American politicians objected and fought the President's
effort to establish normal relations with Azerbaijan. Why? Because the
Armenian lobby had been successful in getting the U.S. Congress to cut
foreign aid to Azerbaijan after the Armenians' sneak, surprise,
cowardly and unprovoked attack on Azerbaijan in 1992.
Armenian American special interests were fearful that a new U.S.-
Azerbaijan friendship would became strong and Armenia fears such a
friendship and partnership. Thus Armenia fought the United States "War
on Terrorism" rather than permit America's building friendships in the
Muslim world. Selfish-Yes! Anti-Muslim-Yes! Against the best interests
of the United States-Yes!
TDN: Why has Armenia received so much aid from the U.S. Government?
WEEMS: As I tried to explain in my previous answer, because the
Armenians have been seeking aid from Christians, Churches and the U.S.
Government dating back to 1918. The Armenians play the Christian card
and there is no one from the Muslim world to show that the Armenians
are terrorists!
TDN: While the U.S. has been supporting Armenia, has Armenian foreign
policy supported U.S. interests, especially in the region?
WEEMS: No. The only Armenian foreign policy I know of is this: The
number one export of Armenia is terrorism. The number one import of
Armenia is foreign aid. Neither of these two policies of Armenia is in
the best interests of the U.S.
TDN: Although Armenia is illegally occupying Azerbaijan territory, why
hasn't the U.S. placed sanctions on Armenia as it did on Azerbaijan?
WEEMS: I am ashamed of my country's foreign policy on this question.
The real answer is; Armenia claims to be Christian like the United
States while Azerbaijan is Muslim.
There is a cynical well - financed Armenian - American lobby as
compared to Muslim Azerbaijan that has no real lobby. This is sad but
true and American Christians must become aware of how they are being
fleeced and deceived by Armenians. It is neither fair nor just. This
isn't Christian !.
TDN: Do you think Armenians have territorial ambitions against
Turkey?
WEEMS: There is no doubt that Armenia has territorial ambitions
against Turkey. Let me repeat that: There is absolutely no doubt that
Armenia has territorial ambitions against Turkey! Why do I make such a
direct and absolute statement ?.
Read the statements of the Armenian Reconciliation Committee, read the
statements of ANCA, The Armenian National Committee of America, read
the statements that Armenian historians make about "Armenian Turkey"
and the "Armenian Plateau" in their books.
TDN: What other countries have been giving aid to Armenia and why?
WEEMS: Russia and the European Christian nations. Why? Because the
Armenians have been playing the Christian vs. Muslim card so well
since 1918.
TDN: Can you please describe religious tolerance in Armenia?
WEEMS: There is no religious tolerance in Armenia. Well, that is
unless one is a member of the Apostolic Church in Armenia. The Church
of Armenia practices Christianity as the Catholic Church did in the
dark ages of history. There is persecution of all Christians other
than the Church of Armenia.
As in the dark ages, the Armenian Church excommunicates Armenians and
condemns their souls to hell if they take part in other branches of
the Christian faith. This is one of the problems of Armenians. They
live in the dark ages of today's modern world. Such religious attitude
is not helpful to world peace. In depth information is given on this
subject in my upcoming book.
TDN: Can you compare how different faiths practice their religions in
Armenia and Turkey?
WEEMS: I spent eight weeks in Turkey in August and September producing
the "Seven Churches of Revelation" video, as I described earlier. I
end my video by showing how Christianity is alive and well in Turkey.
There are more than 100 Christian churches in Istanbul alone.
I picked one to use as an example of all to show the total freedom of
religion that everyone enjoys in Turkey. I visited several Armenian
Churches and interviewed Armenian Christians. I did have experiences
when I tried to visit inside of few Armenian Churches and was not
allowed to enter. I have a total list of every Armenian Church in the
world. There are several more Armenian churches in Turkey than there
are in Armenia. In each interview I had with Armenian Christians who
live in Istanbul, people stated that they had total religious freedom
practicing what they believe.
Contrast the total religious freedom Armenians enjoy in Turkey to the
fact there is no religious freedom nor tolerance for Muslims or other
branches of Christianity other than their church in Armenia.
According to the United States State Department and religious sources
I reveal in my book, there is not one, let me repeat not one mosque
allowed to operate on a regular basis in Armenia.
Another interesting fact is that almost 95% of Armenians are now
ethnically pure today. Clearly the Armenians learned well from the
Nazis they served so faithfully during World War II. They are working
to create an ethnically pure society. History has proven over and over
again that ethnic-pure societies are a threat to mankind. Case in
point in modern history is Hitler's Germany. It is so sad that
Armenians were total partners with the Nazis of World War II, and they
are attempting to recreate such days of horror by their ethnic
cleansing work of Muslim Azerbaijan. The Armenians are not following
the teachings of Christ with whom they claim to have followed and
served for 1700 years. Christ never approved of ethnic cleansing of
Jews, Muslims or anyone else. The Armenians are ethnic-cleansing even
the other Christians in order to have a totally "Armenian Church" pure
state! They are creating their own brand of religion just as the Nazis
did.
TDN: Many Turkish people are surprised to discover that American-
Armenians have a great deal of hatred for Turks. The same hatred is
fueled in many Armenian communities such as in France. What are the
reasons for this?
WEEMS: My research shows that there is clearly an Armenian Mastermind
Plan that generates Armenian hate around the world. In my view the
Armenian Church in Diaspora teaches this hate from birth. A baby is
not born to hate, they are taught to carry it.
TDN: Do you think it would be more effective to discuss these issues
and problems with the Armenian Diaspora, or to deal with Armenian
officials?
WEEMS: I believe that neither is going to work until the Armenian
Church begins to practice the teachings of Jesus Christ. Until that
happens, Turkey will waste time and create false hope of ever
negotiating with Armenia about anything.
Armenia wants billions of American dollars and Turkish lands, what is
there to negotiate? Armenia demanded those same things at the Allied
Peace Conference after World War I. Armenians demanded that the
Ottoman Government give them money and land based on their bogus one-
sided massacre claims.
The Paris Peace conference heard the Armenians wild claims in 1919 and
gave them zero-nothing! Today, 83 years later, the Armenians are
demanding that Turkey give them billions of dollars and Turkish lands.
Such a claim, in plain language, is crazy. It was bogus at the end of
World War I, when the Paris Peace Conference rejected it, and it is
still bogus today !.
I would hope that we will see a climate of change take place within
Armenia in the near future, because I strongly believe that it is in
Armenia's best interests to have peace. There is something here that
readers need to also know. Not all of the Armenians who live in
Armenia are siding with Armenian terrorism, and I think that the hope
of peace lies in those people's hearts and minds.
I have already received letters from Armenians who explained to me
that they were not siding and approving Armenian terrorism. They are
plain folks and they do suffer from their country's instability, its
policies and Armenian American lobbyist actions.
TDN: If these issues continue to provoke nationalism both in Armenia
and Turkey, and pose an obstacle to regional peace and stability, what
role could the U.S. play?
WEEMS: Turks need to answer that question themselves. How much do you
know about Armenian Americans' lobbying activities that are going on
in the U.S.A.? Have you taken any action to defend the accusations
directed at your country? Have you written to anybody about it? How
will the U.S. Congress know you are right in your case, if you never
show up and talk about it? Or at least, find the truth out for
yourselves first and know that your ancestors did not commit such a
crime. Turkey has been a true friend of the United States since the
great leader of yours Ataturk established democracy in Turkey in 1923
and a strong NATO ally since 1952. I believe since then there has been
an unbroken line of friendship and partnership between Turkey and the
U.S. Then there are Armenian Americans. But be careful; I'm talking
about the Diaspora here, not the ones who live, without a single
doubt, happily and peacefully in Turkey. The Diaspora have mooched,
begged, whined, and complained since 1918 to anyone who would listen.
First the Armenians betrayed the Ottomans and joined the Russians.
Next, the Armenians betrayed the Allies of World War I, cut a deal and
joined the Soviet Union without firing a shot. Then the Armenians
betrayed the Russians and joined the Nazis. Thereafter the Armenians
tried to join the Allies then went back to the Russians.
You judge what kind of troublesome and back stabbing nation that
is.There are some 65 to 70 million Turks living only in Turkey. There
are only 2.7 million Armenians left in Armenia. It is a tiny land-
locked country. More than one million Armenians escaped to Russia,
Turkey, and other places during the past ten years.
I do not believe that the United States has any business with such
unreliable, unpredictable bunch of people in such an unstable
territory of the world, which, over the next 20 years, will fade away
and become a footnote on the pages of history if left to themselves.
TDN: You have mentioned that Armenia is always in want of money. Do
you think the allegations of genocide are a way for Armenia to get
territory and money from Turkey?
WEEMS: Yes, I do. Just look at their activities, plans, announcements,
statements of their media in Europe and the U.S.A. and you will see
that it is one of the major goals of their lobbies outside Turkey.
They are actively and tirelessly working on telling their tall tales
all over the U.S. and Europe. Let me be honestly crystal clear to your
readers: Armenians want an acknowledgement, an apology, monetary
reparations, and land, in that order. This 4-legged plan is written in
every Armenian newspaper over the years and it is no secret. It seems
rather strange to me that some, or most Turks, do not know this at
all, or do not seem to take it seriously.
This evil Armenian plan looks serious to me, which is one of the
reasons I wrote my upcoming book: "The secrets of a 'Christian'
terrorist state".
TDN: Obviously the policies of the Armenian Government and actions of
terrorist groups do not represent all Armenians. Are there large
numbers of Armenians who are willing to put these controversial issues
aside in order to end hostilities? Won't an attitude of aggression
undermine Armenia's advancement as a successful democracy and fail to
create good leaders?
WEEMS: The United States is the most open and free nation in the
world. I know of no Armenian American who speaks out in opposition to
Armenian terrorism. Of course there is a few percentage of Armenian
Americans, especially the old generation, who do not approve of the
escalating hostility toward Turkey. However, they do keep silent.
History records that when the Armenian Revolutionary Federation was
organized, one of its Manifesto statements was to use terror against
its own people who didn't toe the party line. I suspect this attitude
continues today. And like I mentioned above, there are Armenians who
do want peace and stability in their country, and do not want to fight
with and terrorize Muslims. Sadly to say that Armenia has never been a
democracy, but a dictatorship. Their so-called election recently is a
complete fraud, just like the one in 1918. Look at the Armenian voter
lists--Great increases in numbers while a million citizens fled the
state! Armenia must rid itself of corrupt state and church leaders
before there can be a start for real reforms.
TDN: The EU parliament, France, Italy and other countries have passed
legislation accusing Turks of genocide. Can you please comment on the
worldwide effort and campaign to have pro-Armenian genocide
legislation passed in the parliaments of various countries?
WEEMS: This is nothing more than playing the same old "Christian
versus Muslim" ethnic/race/religion cards by Armenia. The motive
behind these meaningless resolutions is to put pressure on Turkey to
give Armenia billions of dollars and lots of Turkish lands. When one
thinks about it, reads the historical accounts, he or she will find
out for themselves that there was no such genocide.
My question is why should any nation on earth involve itself in this
matter at all, since these allegations of a so-called genocide took
place 87 years ago? The real answer to why some European countries
passed meaningless resolutions of Armenian support is nothing more
than the age old "Christian vs. Muslim" issue, and such things have no
place in today's modern world which seeks peace and understanding of
each others' different faiths.
I must note that history reflects that France and Italy were two of
the countries seeking national advantages for themselves during World
War I at the Turks' expense. I see that they are still playing the
self-advantage game! No right thinking government, based on the
conclusive evidence, can say with absolute certainty, as some European
countries have done, that there was a genocide.
TDN: The international community adopted the term "genocide" in 1948.
How have these elected officials legally defined genocide and applied
it to the events around 1915, which Turks say were the result of war
and deportation, in part triggered by uprisings of armed Armenians who
allied with the enemies of the Ottoman Empire.
WEEMS: The truth is defined in the question! The "United Nations
Convention for Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide"
made a finding of the Jewish genocide on December 9, 1948. First of
all the definition itself clearly proves that there was no "Armenian
genocide!" The legal definition of genocide is this: "The systematic
killing, or a program of action intended to destroy, a whole national
or ethnic group."
The United Nations gives a very detailed definition of genocide. The
true facts are, when the Ottoman government relocated the disloyal
Armenians because they were using terrorist activities to help the
invading Russians, there was no intention to destroy, in whole or in
part the Armenians, and relocation cannot be considered as a genocide
as the Armenians attempt to get the world to believe today.
The undisputed facts are that only Armenians in eastern Anatolia were
removed. They were removed because they had joined with the Russians
in trying to overthrow the Ottoman government. The absolute truth is
that at least one million Armenians who lived in other regions of the
Ottoman Empire were neither removed nor were they harmed in any way.
It is undisputed that the Armenians in eastern Anatolia were disloyal
to the Ottoman government and were using armed force to try to
overthrow it, by taking advantage of their churches' immunities, and
we all know that the Ottomans never interrupted their freedom of
religion.
The Ottoman government leaders even asked the head of the Armenian
Church to help them stop the Armenian rebellion, or they would be
forced to remove the Armenians from behind their army. The Armenian
head priest refused this request for help and the Ottomans thereafter
removed the Armenians. The Armenians in eastern Anatolia paid a
terrible price because their church refused to help them when they
could have done so. This church refusal is a major factor in causing
the terrible removal of the eastern Anatolia Armenians.
Compare what the Ottoman government did to what my own United States
government did at the start of World War II. Japan had made a sneak,
surprise, cowardly, and unprovoked attack on U.S. naval forces at
Pearl Harbor.
The U.S. government, on short notice with great personal loss, removed
every Japanese American from the West Coast of the United States and
moved them inland. These Japanese Americans were placed in military
guarded camps until the end of the war. This was done to protect the
American national interests during a war.
Just think, there was no evidence that Japanese Americans were
disloyal to the United States. Compare this fact to the Armenians and
there is no question but that they were not only disloyal, they were
also engaged in an armed rebellion.
It is "silly" to claim that the Turks massacred 1.5 million Armenians!
True facts are clear by both American and British eyewitnesses: there
was no massacre nor was there a genocide.
In my research I discovered that even the Armenian chief historian
uses two sets of books. What I mean by that is the Armenians use the
same numbers to count in one of their revisions of history a massacre.
Then, in another revision of history, they use the same numbers to
count refugees! I choose to believe the American and British
eyewitnesses' accounts and the set of books the Armenians use to count
refugees. Therefore there could not have been a massacre as they
claim !.
TDN: From your research do you see any links between hatred and
terrorism?
WEEMS: Sadly to say, with the Armenians hatred and terrorism appear to
be one and the same.
TDN: Do the allegations increase prejudice against Turkey and have
Turkish-American relations been effected by the allegations of
genocide made by Armenians?
WEEMS: I am sorry to say-yes, this is correct. I am also sorry to say
that the reason so many Americans believe this Armenian tall tale is
because the Turks have ignored these false claims for all these years
and no one has stood up to tell the truth about the bogus genocide
claim.
There is an old political saying in America: "If you tell a lie big
enough and often enough and no one challenges you-a great number of
people will believe the lie no matter how big it is."
This is what the Armenians have been doing since 1918 and the Turks
have not come to America and disproved it. In the last few years,
though, I have noticed some increased level of activities among
Turkish Americans, especially with the emergence of Turkish Forum, a
cyberspace think-tank. They seem to respond to anti-Turkish
allegations almost instantly and wage spirited counter campaigns.
Turkish Forum letters are signed by Turks from the U.S.A., Europe,
Asia, Africa and Australia, which is impressive. They do a great job
in publishing information to the Turkish Community around the world
and by tirelessly defending the cause of Turks.
I have great respect for individuals who work diligently every day to
insure that the world knows the truth. While this is all good, it is
not nearly enough. Turkish Forum needs more support and contribution
from Turks to organize and spread truth to the United States and the
world. More needs to be done by organized grass roots campaigns to
counter the ongoing anti-Turkish efforts. If this isn't done,
Americans will simply believe what they hear, especially if it is
repeated often enough and never objected to. This is a fact of life.
Hitler was right. Tell a lie a 1000 times and people will believe it
if it is not refuted.
Turkey doesn't need to be subjected to the big lie and this is a major
reason why I wrote the book and I hope that not only Americans start
asking questions of the Armenians--I also hope the Turks will awake,
stand tall, and fight the good fight of truth. The Turks are world
famous for their fighting ability.
I have a family member who fought next to Turks in Korea. He recalls
how the North Koreans were very fearful of facing the Turk fighting
man. It is time now for the Armenians and others to become fearful of
facing the realities and the Turk on the stage of world opinion !.
TDN: Have you met with leaders and members of the Armenian communities
in Turkey? Can you compare their life and status as a minority in
Turkey with that of the status of minorities in Armenia?
WEEMS: I have visited with Armenians in Turkey. They live very well
and have the same total freedoms that Turks enjoy. It appears that
many Armenians, who live in Turkey, especially the ones who live in
the big cities are well off financially and they live prosperous and
peaceful lives. Many own good businesses and are in total harmony with
Turks.
On the subject of minorities in Armenia, there are only about 5%
minorities left in Armenia. There are only a small handful of Muslims
remaining and they are forbidden to practice their religion. There is
no way to compare except to say that Armenians living in Istanbul, for
example, live in the sunlight of a modern world. What few Muslims who
remain in Armenia live in is the blackness of a moonless cloudy night
of the dark ages of past history, many hundreds of years ago.
TDN: Many U.S. State legislatures have passed laws that support the
"Armenian Genocide" allegations. Do you think they are adequately
informed about Armenian history? Can such legislation have an effect
on U.S. diplomacy in the future? Do you think it could become a
criminal act in the U.S. for making contrary remarks, just like in
France where a well-known American professor was taken to court and
fined? What state laws might be applied if one denies an "Armenian
genocide" took place?
WEEMS: Permit me to explain these "laws." First of all not one of the
U.S. state legislative acts has any power or force of law. All these
state legislatures have passed are "Resolutions" that are worthless
and have no legal meaning !.
These "Resolutions" express the thoughts of the elective officials. A
law can be enforced while a resolution has no such power. These
"Resolutions" are worthless and meaningless as far as the some solid
actual laws are concerned.
Of course these elective state legislators are not informed, nor do
they know either Armenian or Turkish history. These worthless
resolutions are brought to them by Armenian Americans who whine, beg
and moan as they tell their tall tale of how the terrible Turk
massacred 1.5 million of their Christian forefathers in 1915. Only a
very few Turks ever try to present the truth and they are not
organized as the Armenians are. The purpose of the state "resolutions"
is to influence American foreign policy to give Armenians more and
more American taxpayer dollars. They pass their resolutions and claim
a vast majority of Americans who support them. This is a lie, but it
is effective! What the French do could not happen in the United
States. The United States Constitution guarantees total freedom of
speech. Congress shall pass no law to take this basic freedom away
from the people. If any American doesn't like any law he or she has
the absolute right to speak out to oppose it.
TDN: Do you think an atmosphere has been created in the U.S. where
students and academics are reluctant to study these topics and think
freely?
WEEMS: Yes, I do. No question about it! Case in point, as I mentioned
earlier, is an American professor's home was bombed because he spoke
about the horror of Armenian actions.
I know a well-known professor of history who was afraid to do a
specific research project while working on his Ph.D. degree because of
fear of Armenian professors! I know of other terrible Armenian
American educators who pressure students and other professors in our
colleges and universities. Such conduct in my judgment is unacceptable
and it clearly is un-American !.
TDN: Last April President Bush stated 1.5 million Armenians were
annihilated. How do you think this figure was determined?
WEEMS: Armenian Americans gave him this number! Armenian Americans buy
influence especially within the Republican Party. Case in point:
Elizabeth Dole, wife of former Senator Bob Dole, is running for the
United States Senate in North Carolina.
She recently went to California for a large fund raising dinner
sponsored by Armenian Americans. Question: What business does a gaggle
of California Armenian Americans have in giving many tens of millions
of dollars to a possible new United State Senator from North
Caroline ?.
This is typical Armenian American tactics and this is how they buy
influence and access to important elected United States elective
officials. The Turkish American community is not so organized, and
don't do much organized grassroots action work like the Armenians do.
Thus the Armenians have the playing field almost all to themselves and
this is why Turks see an American president making such dumb comments
even if history proves such statements are untrue.
TDN: As an American how do you feel about the fact the textbooks of
school children are incorporating biased, inaccurate, and distorted
information about the history of Armenians? Turks see this as
brainwashing of American children, how would you describe it? How can
this sort of misinformation be countered, in addition to attempts to
tarnish the image of Turks, such as with the new Armenian-backed anti-
Turkish film "Ararat"?
WEEMS: It is brainwashing and it is the work of Armenians! You have to
give the Armenians credit for boldness. Consider the fact that
Armenian members of the Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation Committee even
wanted the children of Turkey to be taught that there was genocide as
they do in a few states here in the United States. To make certain the
children were taught properly the Armenians wanted Turkish children to
be tested on an annual basis to make certain they believed there was
genocide.
The fact that Armenian Americans have secured approval from some state
education departments and teach that the Turks committed the first
genocide in the 20th century is one very good reason for the Turks to
now stand up and tell truth and get involved.
If the Turks don't and the Armenian Americans get all 50 American
states to teach this, the next generation of Americans will believe
this tall tale. This will not help Turkey at all in the years to
come !.
I do not agree with this Armenian revision of history to fit their
goals by teaching children to believe Armenian historical revision
lies! I don't think a vast majority of Americans will like it either
once they find out what Armenians have done.
The Turks must produce their own films for the American market. Again,
the Turks must get organized and support, with their liras, the
efforts of Turkish Americans if this great wrong is to be made right.
TDN: The Elian Gonzalez case in Florida seems to be a precedent in
U.S. history where an ethnic lobby so blatantly resisted the U.S.
justice system. Do you think defiant lobbies could pose problems in
the future?
WEEMS: In this case the American justice system won. There may be
resistance by some groups in the future, but that is unlikely. I don't
expect Armenians to ever do such a thing. There are only about one
million of them out of the some 285 million of other nationalities in
the U.S.
The Armenian way has always been by sneak-back room attacks in the
black of night. I expect them to continue these tactics.
TDN: Some Armenian groups in California have lobbied for lighter
sentences for terrorist acts. How do you think the developments after
September 11 might affect the attitudes of such groups?
WEEMS: The Armenian Americans will just keep on keeping on begging and
mooching money to try to turn this terrorist murderer, Hampig
Sassoonian, back out on American streets !.
Even though the Armenian American terrorist has had his day in court,
had the best legal defense money could buy, California found him
guilty and said he must serve a life sentence.
Armenian Americans today have raised more than $300,000, all trying to
get him out of prison to walk the streets again. Most Americans would
not approve of this conduct if they knew it !.
TDN: Can you please explain how your background as a state prosecutor
has helped you to write this book?
WEEMS: Two things: Good research skills and the habit of always
looking to tie events together to prove a case beyond a reasonable
doubt. I used perhaps as much as nearly 90% research from Armenian
sources to write my book. One clue would lead me to another, and then
to another, and I simply developed my book point by point.
Permit me to share one example: On the second page of his Armenian
history book, an Armenian professor stated there were two million
Armenians living within the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Strangely later he
claims more than 1 million of this number were massacred by the Turks.
In another book, the good professor provides numbers to prove that
there were about the same number of Armenian refugees as the original
population, thus disproving his own genocide claims. I didn't have to
do anything to prove or disprove genocide.
I let the good Armenian professor do the documentation. I just pointed
to the obvious, blaring discrepancies. The proof is that about half of
the Armenians living within the Ottoman Empire didn't live in the war
zone in Anatolia, and were not removed. This good professor listed
footnotes and when I checked them out I discovered that there were
several American and British eyewitnesses. All I did was to total the
numbers supplied by the Armenian historian and his numbers simply
didn't add up! I also then went to British, French, Russian and
Italian historical numbers, also listed by the Armenian historian.
When you take all the numbers together plus the American and British
eyewitnesses, there it is, plain as day, there was no genocide and
there is proof that the Armenians cooked the books and counted people
removed as both massacred and as refugees.
When they wanted pity, money and reparation, all these refuges were
"killed"; but when it was time to prove to the West that Armenians did
have numbers to establish a state of their own, all of those "dead"
refugees, all of a sudden, very strangely came back to life !!.
Magic !.
TDN: It was not until the last few minutes before a vote on the
Armenian genocide that the speaker of the House of Representatives
withdrew the proposed legislation because it could harm U.S. national
security. Isn't this process confusing for legislators and risky for
the U.S. to allow such proposed legislation to advance to such a
point? Some lawmakers believe that they were being asked to ignore
historical fact because it complicated foreign policy. How do you
interpret the developments above and their effects on lawmakers?
WEEMS: The truth is the Republican Speaker of the House attempted to
save face by making a claim of national security when he withdrew the
resolution. The rest of the story and the truth is that the Speaker
didn't have the votes to pass it, and this is why he withdrew it !.
There is a hardcore group of Republicans; I call them extremists, who
could not care less about national security if they could have passed
the resolution. They had been bought and paid for with Armenian
American political campaign money, just like the Armenian Americans
are trying to buy Mrs. Dole in North Carolina.
One basic fact must be remembered. The Republican members of Congress
were trying to pass a "Resolution." A Resolution has no force of law
and does nothing but express an opinion. It is not a law as such.
In truth such a Resolution is meaningless and isn't worth the paper it
is written on because it couldn't do anything except make Armenians
feel good.
Of course had such a Resolution passed, the Armenians would have had a
feeding frenzy, trying to use it to get more money out of the American
Congress as well as trying to force Turkey to give in and buy them off
for a while with lira and land.
What is so odd to me is the fact Turkey and the United States are good
trading partners. The two countries did more than 7 billion dollars of
trade with each other just last year. Turkey bought more than one
billion dollars more in the U.S. than we did in Turkey. And what about
the Armenians ? Almost zero !. Again Armenia's number one export is
terrorism and their number one import is foreign aid.
TDN: How successfully or poorly has the Turkish government, public,
and Turkish Americans responded to the allegations of genocide?
WEEMS: I know a few Turkish Americans who are true champions for
Turkey. The sad truth is that they are too few and they have little
funding to compete against a well-oiled and funded Armenian lobby
organization.
The Armenians have perhaps 40-50 full time professionals in Washington
D.C. doing nothing but working each and every day to undercut Turkey
and Azerbaijan and promote themselves for more foreign aid taxpayer
funding. Turkish Americans have 0 staff and office working for them in
Washington, D.C. The Turks really should do more to protect
themselves. All they have to do is tell the truth! Here is an eye-
opening calculation: Armenians, in the last 10 years, have probably
spent hundreds of millions of dollars to support all the political
candidates that they did.
When those candidates got elected, Armenian got 1.4 billion dollars in
the same 10 years as U.S. Foreign Aid. That is, for every one dollar
Armenian Americans "invested," they got $100 back in U.S. aid to
Armenia! 100 to 1 return! This is better return than Las Vegas
casinos!
I strongly advise the Turkish Americans to wake up and Get involved!
TDN: What aspects of your book do you expect Armenians will criticize
most?
WEEMS: How about the front cover, the back cover, and every word in
between! They have already started. I received my first Armenian hate
email just yesterday. The Armenian said my book was "lies, lies, lies"
and was "nothing but Turkish revisionism". What makes this comment so
interesting is the fact that this person made all those wild
accusations about my book without even reading it yet, because it
hasn't been printed as yet.
I expect Armenians to attack each and every word in my book. I also
expect them to attack me with their off-the-wall comments. This has
been the Armenian trademark since 1918. If anyone doesn't toe the line
and say and do what Armenians want and demand, they are attacked.
They attacked soon to be United States President Hubert Hoover when he
tried to help them at the end of World War I. Mr. Hoover didn't want
to give U.S. dollars to corrupt dictators without checks and balances,
to insure the money was used for the people. The Armenians, of course,
didn't want any part of honesty, so they attacked him.
They attacked an American navy admiral and a U.S. Army colonel because
these brave and honest American soldiers objected to Armenian
misrepresentations, corruption and massacre tall tales. The Armenians
attacked United States President Woodrow Wilson because he refused to
give them Muslim land from "sea to sea" (that is from Trabzon in the
Black Sea to Adana in the Mediterranean) and would not spend billion
dollars and commit 70,000 American troops to clear the Muslim lands
for Armenians.
Armenians attacked the United States Senate, because they refused to
vote for an Armenian mandate in 1920. Had the Senate voted to send
American troops to give Muslim lands to Armenians, the United States
would have involved itself in its first Vietnam of the 20th century.
Armenians even attacked American Christians and missionaries because
they didn't help them enough. Seems, as though they felt that $50
million dollars from the American Christian community was not enough.
Another little known fact is that the Armenians borrowed another $50
million from the United States government in 1919, with promises to
pay back.
Armenians cut a deal and became Communists in 1920 and said to the
U.S., because they were now Communists, they didn't have to repay the
loan.
Now, I will ask an accountant friend of mine to calculate for me just
how much that $50 million is with all the interest, compounded over
the years.
Some say it could reach billions of dollars. As an American taxpayer,
I demand that Armenia pay back the loan to my country. That's my tax
money they are sitting on. As you can see, I will be in good company
each time an Armenian attacks me!
TDN: Are parts of the U.S. media biased, if so why, and what can be
done?
WEEMS: There is no question but that some media is biased. However, it
is not uncommon to read good travel articles about Turkey. I think the
problem is that the 40-50 Armenian professionals who lobby the media,
and the Turks don't.
This is a sad truth and only the Turks themselves can make a
commitment, put their money where their mouth is, and provide an
alternative to the present day one-sided Armenians who provide day
after day slanted information. The Turks should be presenting truth
rather than silence !. TDN: Your title "Armenia: The Great Deception-
Secrets of a 'Christian' Terrorist State" may make many people uneasy.
How did you decide this should be the title of your book? Do you think
Muslims have a point when they say that the press does not label
terrorists who are Christian as "Christian terrorists" (such as
Timothy McVeigh, the unabomber, and Serbs who committed genocide in
Srebrenica) but never fail to add Muslim if the terrorist is a
Muslim ?.
WEEMS: This is not the title I used when I first began researching my
book four years ago. However, as I did my research in Washington,
D.C., Paris, Rome, Moscow and London, I found reference after
reference, hundreds of them, about activities from the lowest priests
to the head of the Armenian Church, and their direct involvement in
what any Christian, or any fair minded person for that matter, would
consider terrorist acts.
The first chapter on my book is also the last chapter I wrote and it
is titled "Holy Terror." I explain in detail specific terrorist acts
committed by officials of the Armenian Church as well as their
political activity.
For a quick example, there is this episode in an Armenian church in
Adana, just before the Armenian rebellion in Adana in 1909, I believe,
where the top Armenian priest sermons to a packed audience "Sell your
coat on your back if you have to and buy guns with it." Such open
invitation to rebellion via armed violence so outrages an American
priest, who happens to be there that day, he storms out of the church
in anger ! I hope the book does make Christians uncomfortable!
American Christians too often live in a comfort zone. They must
discover the great truth for themselves.
I don't ask anyone to accept my book at face value. I ask only that
American Christians read the book with an open mind and then study for
themselves to find truth about Armenia. After Christians do their
homework, and should they find for themselves that I am a truth
teller, they must speak out and demand that their church and their
government stop giving their hard-earned money to Armenia.
For any Christian to stand by and say nothing when truth is presented
is to give approval to Armenian terrorism. It is just that simple!
Muslims have a valid complaint about the way the American media
mentions "Muslim" to explain terrorism. This isn't fair, nor is it
just, because they don't use "Christian" to describe Christian
terrorists.
In all fairness, I must note there is a major effort being made within
the United States after September 11th to make a big point of the fact
that Muslim extremists do not represent a vast majority of the Muslim
world.
Personally, based on my experiences with the 97%-98% Muslims of
Turkey, I could not have been treated better even if I was a
Christian. All Americans can learn from the Turks and respect everyone
regardless of their religion.
The true test is what is in a person's heart: Give love and respect,
and love and respect come back to you. I wish that Americans would
follow this Turkish example of "Peace at home and peace in the world."
It is such a shame that Turkey's next door neighbor Armenia refuses to
follow this great teaching of "Peace at home and peace in the world"
also.
At the risk of sounding self-serving, let me reiterate here, that
every Turk should read my book to understand how they were short
changed by Armenian propaganda over the years.
I am planning to send free copies of my book to every Christian priest
and minister in America, as my book sales can finance such efforts. I
welcome help from Turkish business community to expedite this project.
The faster I can pass this message along to Church leaders in America,
the faster attitudes in America will change to see the Turkish side of
the story, as well as distance the average American from Armenian
allegations.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity of sharing my thoughts. As I
have traveled the great nation of Turkey over this past four years I
have been received warmly everywhere I went. I appreciate the great
heart of the Turks.
My only regret is that I could not openly travel in Armenia, nor could
I receive cooperation in the Armenian national archives that are
located in America. I believe that it is difficult to have peace in
the Near East because Armenia is such a closed society. I hope this
cold attitude will change in the years to come and neighbors can
become real neighbors in the Near East.

ANGLO WANNABE TURK PRAISING THIS CHARLATAN WEEMS......DO YOU KNOW WHO
HE IS? READ ON :
Samuel A. Weems was a disbarred Arkansas lawyer. In 1974, Samuel Weems
was disbarred as a lawyer for mixing his clients money with his own. A
year later he was convicted of arson and conspiring to defraud an
insurance firm. In 1977 a jury found Weems guilty of conspiring to
commit arson and ordered him to pay $30,000 to an insurance company
(citation). He unsuccessfully ran for the position of mayor of Hazen
county in 1994 and 1998. Local courts dismissed his appeals
questioning the legality of the election outcomes.
Also he never, never had any academic credentials. Never studied
history , never published anything until he was spoon fed anti-
Armenian nonsense.
The Turkish Times reported that Weems travelled to Turkey in 2002 for
the 81st anniversary of the death of Talaat Pasha, one of the men most
responsible for orchestrating the Armenian Genocide]. Samuel Weems
died from a heart attack on January 25, 2003.
