Black women files guilty plea in death of infant daughter
By Stephen A. Raper
NNA Correspondent
(NNA) Athens - Becky Davis (31) was originally tried and convicted
in 1995 of felony frst-degree murder by aggravated child abuse in the
death of her eight-month-old daughter, Cathrena Davis, who died in
September 1994 following a beating in May of that year.
However, the verdict was overturned this past May by the Tennessee
Court of Criminal Appeals. The verdict was overturned on a
technicality,
the failure of the judge during the original trial to include
facilitating first-degree murder in the range of offenses which the
jury hearing the case could consider while deliberating on the case.
Now, facing retrial for the beating death of her daughter, Becky Davis
entered a guilty plea to facilitating the offense of first-degree
murder. The Criminal Court Judge overseeing the case, Steven Bebb,
sentenced Davis to serve 20 years during a court appearance in
Bradley County, Tennessee.
Davis' co-defendant, Trevlor Bradley was also charged in 1994 with
the beating death of the infant. Testimony during the trial, and
a later retrial of Bradley's case indicated that Bradley, who was
Davis boyfriend at the time, was directly responsible for causing
the child's fatal injuries. Bradley was retried on the case in
1996, and found guilty of the lesser offense of reckless homicide.
He is now serving a four-year sentence, the maximum he could receive
under the conviction.
Because this case predates a change in Tennessee's sentencing laws
which would require Davis to serve at least 85 per cent of her
sentence, and because she is a first time offender, Davis is
eligible for parole after serving just six and-a-half years.

Clinton Administration reviews Pollard spy case
By Stephen A. Raper
NNA Correspondent
(NNA) - The administration of United States President William
Jefferson Clinton has begun to review the Jonathan Pollard spy case,
under an agreement President Clinton made with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu during the Mideast peace talks in October.
Pollard, a former Navy intelligence analyst, is serving a life
sentence for selling secrets to Israel. The Pentagon, State
Department, and the CIA will present their views by 11 January
1999, and President Clinton will decide whether to release Pollard.
Defense and intelligence officials have strongly opposed release.

Center For Disease Control Announces U.S. Abortion Rate
By Stephen A. Raper
NNA Correspondent
(NNA) - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently
announced the U.S. abortion rate for 1996. The CDC said that there
were 20 abortions per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44, the same rate as
in 1995. This means the U.S. abortion rate is hanging on steady at
one of the lowest rates in over two decades.
States reported that a total of 1,221,585 unborn children were aborted
in 1996, an increase of less that 1 per cent from 1995. 1996 was the
first year that abortions had not actually declined from 1990, when
the total was higher than 1.4 million.
Since abortions were legalized nationally in 1973, abortion rates
increased steadily until 1980, when they reached 25 per 1,000 women
ages 15 to 44. The abortion rate than leveled off through 1992, when
the rate began to fall once again. The CDC said the decline may have
been caused by a drop in the number of unwanted pregnancies. But
abortion rights activists have charged that there are fewer clinics
performing abortions.

Confederate Flag and Black Man's Road Rage In Indiana
By Stephen A. Raper
NNA Correspondent
(NNA) - Jeffrey G. Robinson, a thirty-one year old black trucker from
Chicago, has been arrested for misdemeanor intimidation and criminal
recklessness with a vehicle. Robinson approached a line of three
semis traveling southbound on I-65 near Lafayette, Indiana. As he
passed, he spotted a Confederate flag bug shield on a Peterbilt rig
and became enraged.
Robinson forced Jimmy Brogdon, a Chattanooga trucker, off the road
and later slowed down to 35 mph to try and force Brogdon to stop. A
third driver, Bruce Hampton of Calhoun, Georgia, used his citizens
band radio to ask Robinson what his problem was. Robinson replied
that all of them were "white honkies" and threatened "to kill all
of us," Hampton stated later.
The incident ended when trooper Rich Kelly stopped Robinson and
eventually arrested Robinson. Kelley reported that he police will
review recordings to verify the truckers' complaints about alleged
death threats. Brogdon said he had never experienced such a
confrontation in his 15 years of driving. But now he plans to replace
the Confederate bug shield with an American flag.

[How do Jews use their influence to extort money and manipulate the
system? Ask New York Jew Alan Hevesi.]
Bank Told To Clear Holocaust Claims
NEW YORK (AP) -- Last fall New York City Comptroller Alan Hevesi led a
coordinated effort by local and state agencies around the country to
block the merger of the New York operations of United Bank of
Switzerland and Swiss Bank until the banks agreed to pledge $1.25
billion to a fund for Jewish groups and Holocaust victims.
Now Hevesi is using his influence again, threatening opposition to
Deutsche Bank AG's planned takeover of Bankers Trust Corp. unless it
settles billions of dollars of claims by Holocaust victims.
Hevesi said Tuesday he has told both banks and U.S. and state banking
regulators that the purchase shouldn't be completed until ``all claims
against Deutsche on Holocaust-related issues are dealt with and
resolved.
``While these regulators have a lot of issues to consider, it is
vitally important that if a financial institution wants to operate
in a global economy, it has to ascribe to global values,'' said
Hevesi.
Normally the opinion of one municipal finance official wouldn't hold
much sway over a deal of such massive scope. If approved by state and
federal regulators the Deutsche purchase of Bankers Trust will create
the largest financial institution in the world.
But Hevesi has tremendous financial leverage because he is a key
player
in deciding which banks get to manage New York City's pension funds
and underwrite its debt offerings and letters of credit.
According to a person familiar with the situation, Bankers Trust
manages the city pension fund's stock-index investments worth tens
of billions of dollars, and Deutsche Bank has been involved in
underwriting short-term debt for the city.
Hevesi emphasized Tuesday that he had not threatened either bank with
the loss of city business.
Bankers Trust spokesman Doug Kidd said the bank's policy is never to
comment on client relationships. Deutsche Bank declined to comment.
Bankers Trust agreed last month to be acquired by Deutsche Bank in a
deal valued at about $10.2 billion. Deutsche Bank, along with Dresdner
Bank, is defending private lawsuits seeking compensation for Holocaust
victims.
Holocaust survivors and their heirs have accused the banks of holding
illegally seized gold and other assets of Jews and others who were
sent
to concentration camps during World War II. The survivors and their
families also claim Deutsche Bank benefited from Jewish slave labor
during the war.
In a statement Monday, Deutsche Bank said it has been in ``lengthy and
constructive'' talks with the World Jewish Congress over the Holocaust
issue.
Deutsche Bank reiterated a statement last month by its chairman,
Rolf E. Breuer, that it had been forced by the Nazi government during
the war to transfer Jewish assets in its possession to the Nazis.
Breuer said Deutsche Bank had returned all assets that had been
claimed after the war. In compliance with legislation passed in
1975, it turned over all unclaimed assets to the German government.
The purchase of Bankers Trust must be approved in the United States by
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Fed governors in Washington,
and the New York State Banking Department as well as by European Union
and German regulators. The U.S. Justice Department could also get
involved if antitrust issues were raised.
Hevesi said the committee that obtained the settlement in the Swiss
bank case still meets and may use the same tactics against Deutsche
Bank.
Elan Steinberg, executive director of the World Jewish Congress, said
Tuesday that his group has had ``positive'' discussions with Deutsche
Bank.
He said the group will report back to Hevesi in two weeks. ``Then we
will decide whether to approach the state banking Department and the
Fed,'' Steinberg said.

[Arrogant, swaggering Jews have managed to bribe and blackmail their
way to the top in time for their "millennium". Here's two articles
that can attest to that fact. Jews have always overplayed their hand,
however, and they may find being on top of the world may become
extremely dangerous for them in the future.]
U.N. adopts anti-Semitism resolution
UNITED NATIONS - On the 50th anniversary of the U.N. convention
against genocide, adopted because of the Nazi slaughter of Jews,
the General Assembly has passed a resolution acknowledging
anti-Semitism for the first time. The resolution, approved by
consensus Wednesday, urged all governments to cooperate with a
U.N. special rapporteur in examining incidents of racial
discrimination ''against blacks, Arabs and Muslims, xenophobia,
Negrophobia, anti-Semitism and related intolerance.''
The General Assembly is set to hold a special daylong session
Thursday to mark the anniversary of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights. During a visit to Israel in March, U.N.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan called for the 50th anniversary
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to focus on the
eradication of anti-Semitism.

Court bans questions on Anne Frank veracity
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch court on Wednesday slapped a
ban on all publications questioning the authenticity of Jewish
teenager Anne Frank's wartime diary, saying they insulted and
offended Jews.
The case, brought by Amsterdam's Anne Frank Foundation and the
Anne Frank Fund in Basle, stems from the unsolicited distribution to
Dutch libraries in 1992 of a book alleging Frank's father Otto was the
real writer of her journal, which chronicles her family's years in
hiding from the Nazis.
Frank and her family lived secretly in the cramped back rooms of an
Amsterdam canal house for several years until their betrayal and
arrest in 1944. She and her sister Margot and theirmother later
died in a concentration camp.
The court ruled on Wednesday that Frank's diary should be seen as
authentic and that it was unlawful to cast doubts on itsveracity.
It ruled that the publisher and authors of the book in question,
``Anne Frank: a critical approach'' were banned from distributing
the book or any material of a similar content on pain of a 25,000
guilder fine per breach.
``The Anne Frank Foundation welcomes the court's judgement that
the denial of the diary's authenticity and the accusations directed
at Otto Frank are insulting and hurtful to Jews in general and to
the Anne Frank Foundation and...Fund in particular,'' the foundation
said in a statement.
It said the book, by Frenchman Robert Faurisson and Belgian
Siegfried Verbeke, had been published by a Belgian publisher
specialising in so-called 'revisionist' literature which questions
whether the Holocaust really happened.
Similar trials have been held in Germany, the statement said.

[Just when you thought things were bad in Switzerland.]
Swiss elect nation's first Jewish woman president
BERN, Switzerland - Swiss politicians elected on Wednesday Interior
Minister Ruth Dreifuss as the country's president for 1999, making
her the first woman ever to lead the Swiss government. Dreifuss'
religion - she also is the first Jewish president - has never been
an issue, even though the government has reported an increase in
anti-Semitism in Switzerland.
The rise is attributed to pressure from international Jewish
organizations to compensate the heirs of Holocaust victims who
left assets in Swiss banks. Dreifuss, 58, has been in line for
the one-year presidency since December 1997, when she was elected
vice president. Dreifuss, 58, of the left-of-center Social Democrats,
replaces Foreign Minister Flavio Cotti in the largely ceremonial
post, which rotates on an annual basis among the seven members of
the coalition Cabinet.

Britain's Commission for Racial Equality gets censured again
(NNA) - United Kingdom - Britain's Commission for Racial Equality
looks set to head back to the courts for disturbing again the
"sensitivities" of the minority racial groups that have flooded
the UK since the war.
This time an Asian dentist is to sue over a poster that the CRE put
up outside his shop showing a Negro with the caption underneath
stating "Scared! You should be, he is a dentist"
Sunny Luthra, a dentist at Capital Dental Care in south-west London,
states that the number of new patients that have been registering
with him has fallen by 75 percent since the ad was posted, and that
many patients have remarked on the ad when coming to see him.
Luthra claimed that many patients had been turned away by the
fear element of the advert. He stated that he had spent a lot of
time trying to build up his dentistry business, and that racial
prejudice had not been a problem for practitioners since the
nineteen seventies. In essence the CRE's clumsy poster served no
moral purpose and had negative effects on one of the minorities
whose rights that it was supposed to protect.
The Commission for Racial Equality has endured much criticism in
the recent past for it's adverts and became the first advertiser
in the UK to ever have to submit it's adverts to the Advertising
Standards Authority before display to check them for having racist
content. The latest poster campaign has also drawn criticism for
racial stereotyping.
The typically childish adverts and Internet web site of the CRE
have given many succors to those on the British far right defending
their race and culture. The thoughts of those on the far right
simply are that the simplistic mentality behind the design of the
slogans and adverts is no real opposition to Patriots. In fact the
constant pseudo moralizing from the Commission and its frequent
blunders tend to aid far right interests in Britain.
The Commission has in the past even been sued for racial
discrimination, just one of the many racial issues that it has
been set up to act on but ended up being sued itself.
The largely Black run pseudo-government body from time to time
appeals for funds through some of it's Jewish associates such as
the notorious advertising agency Satchi and Satchi, and whom in
turn solicits various large businesses for funds too.

AIDS threatens to cripple South Africa
Los Angeles Times
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Two reports on AIDS show the disease
is spreading so rapidly in South Africa that it threatens to
perpetuate the ills of apartheid by crippling the economy and
devastating families for decades to come.
Released to coincide with today's World AIDS Day, the reports say
South Africa has become the hardest-hit region in the world. One
in 10 people infected with the virus worldwide lives in South
Africa.
"Some of the advances made by the new South African democracy will
be reversed unless we act now," said J. David Whaley, the United
Nations' coordinator in South Africa.
UN officials, authors of one of the two reports released Monday,
said on average one person is infected with HIV every minute in
South Africa. If the trend continues over the next decade, government
officials here say, the average South African can expect to live
40 years.
The Department of Health, which commissioned the second report,
identifies the spread of AIDS as a major obstacle to reducing
poverty and the income disparity between blacks and whites. It
predicts that poor families will be made poorer, while those
beginning to escape the shackles of apartheid will be thrust
back into despair.
