Here, A. J. Bradley of Carnarvon suggests that all Muslims are secretly plotting to take over Australia.

A fifth column

Recent letters published on these pages should make Australians, even those who have only recently arrived, realise that the Federal Government, through its immigration policy, is condoning and encouraging the creation of the infiltration of a “fifth column” of Muslims whose objective is to win control of Australia, in due course, by having the numbers to out-vote non-Muslims.

An indication of this was given in the letter from Michael Monroe (Alarm bells, 24/7) where the Muslim woman says: “You may be the rulers of this country now, but this will change and then things will be very different for you all.” What clearer confirmation of the brainwashing being disseminated by the Muslim clerics?

Incidentally, why is it that young Muslim men and women are being encouraged to become suicide bombers, having been promised immediate entry into paradise, but the clergy who make these promises, are too cowardly to do it themselves?

Please keep informing your readers about the subversive activities of Muslims who want to destroy Australia.

ISLAM

The problem Muslim leaders face in convincing the rest of us that terrorism has nothing to do with the Islamic faith is that, ever since we were all first shocked into reality by 9/11, more and more non-Muslims, in an effort better to understand what is happening in the world, have been reading the Koran. And we are not liking what we find there.

We find that on page after page the Koran instructs Muslims to despise all non-Muslims who are to be either converted to Islam (“Make war on the unbelievers until idolatry shall cease and God’s religion shall reign supreme”, 8.39) or completely subjugated and humiliated (“Fight against the infidels until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves utterly subdued”, 9.29). If this fails they are to be killed (“Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them”, 2.191/9.5).

More and more of us are now realising that Islam is not a religion of peace, as Muslims would have us believe, but a huge seditious cult that threatens to swallow us either by immigration, conversions and eventually by demographics, or by the jihadists’ method of attempting to destabilise non-Islamic nations through terrorism. And we are wondering why it is that we continue to recognise this sedition as a legitimate religion instead of outlawing it altogether.

This week an online poster said: “It is about time that our leaders read the Koran for themselves; it is about time that Muslims read it for themselves to see what horrors are in there.” Exactly.

Threat to civilisation

James Connolly’s letter (Are we next? 24/5) should disturb us all. Not only Britain but also all of Europe is in chaos. Parts of it are almost finished and it seems that only a miracle (or the unlikely emergence of another Churchill) can save Europe now.

Here are excerpts from a speech given by Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi in April 2006: “There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe — without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades . . . .Allah mobilises the Muslim nation of Turkey and adds it to the European Union. That’s another 50 million Muslims. There will be 100 million Muslims in Europe.”

He added: “Europe is in a predicament, and so is America. They should agree to become Islamic in the course of time or else declare war on the Muslims.”

Gaddafi is, of course, a devout Muslim. The Koran instils in Muslims a deep hatred for infidels, warning them repeatedly that all non-Muslims are their enemies and the enemies of Allah and enjoining them to make war on their infidel neighbours. This jihad, which is obligatory on all, is a universal injunction that must endure until the last remaining infidel has been eliminated and Islam rules the world. Any strategy of war can be employed, including the more insidious and dangerous strategy of demographics Gaddafi alluded to.

Islam is clearly a mortal threat to our civilisation’s very existence. And yet, despite this, and despite knowing that Islam cannot be reformed, destroyed, democratised or assimilated, not one non-Muslim nation has had the courage to outlaw Islam within its borders. Not one has even halted Muslim immigration, which would seem to be a necessary first step. Why is that?

Glenys Simons, Applecross.

Why Islam is so hostile

The Anglican News recently predicted that Britain would be Islamic within 30 years. While the disastrous ravages and social dysfunction that wholesale Islamic immigration has brought on European civilisation is there for all to see, our own politicians seem to have learnt nothing from it. Perhaps they think it just can’t happen here.

I refer to your report (Christians mark time with Islam on march, 19/6) which states that Perth’s Muslim population has more than doubled in 10 years and that this is almost entirely due to migration. I find this deeply disturbing.

There was a time when we in the West well understood that any belief system or movement that did not permit its members to leave, did not allow any criticism or scrutiny and refused to coexist with other competing systems was inherently bad and to be avoided.

That is true of fascism, communism and some other movements that we have seen. When such a belief system is of a religious type we call it a cult.

Comparing that with Islam, we find that anyone who leaves Islam can be punished with death; that Islam is so sensitive to the slightest criticism that there are riots and killings over such trivial things as cartoons or a teddy bear; and that Islam calls for the complete eradication of every other religion (“Fight them (infidels) until idolatry is no more and all religion is for Allah”, Koran 2.193/8.39)

There are other characteristics that distinguish a cult from a religion. First there is the unique position of the cult leader who may never be criticised, who alone is in touch with the Almighty and to whom nothing is forbidden, especially nothing sexual. Meanwhile the followers are bound to all sorts of rules, regulations and taboos. Islam, too, regulates even the smallest minutiae of political and social life for the Muslim. Mohammed was permitted the special privilege to have as many wives as he pleased.

Then there is the “us” versus “them” mentality of a cult where outsiders, even family members, are to be shunned. Islam forbids Muslims to make friends with any but their own people (3.118), describing unbelievers as “filthy” (9.28), “the vilest of all creatures” (98.6) and “the enemy” (8.59/60/1).

Once we grasp the cultic nature of Islam everything else falls into place. It explains why Islam is so hostile to our democratic freedoms and why Muslims will never assimilate into the mainstream. Further, it should warn our politicians, whose duty it is to protect our rights as individuals, as a nation and as a civilisation, and who hitherto have seemed to be in deep denial, that they should immediately halt any further Muslim immigration to Australia. But will they?

Glenys Simons, Applecross.

What, exactly, does she bring that’s useful to the debate about Islam? Why would Teh Worst keep publishing her?

This is an open letter to Immigration Minister Chris Evans,

As a concerned voting citizen who has been watching your Government’s actions since you were elected, I have to advise you that you and your Prime Minister’s actions and statements have cause me the most worry. We live in a country that is quite clearly under huge pressure from having too many people, which is causing shortages in many infrastructure areas and is particularly critical with the shortage of water. Your Government’s denials that you have shown a green light to boat people is showing the people of Australia that you are either incompetent, dishonest or both, because I seriously doubt that you are allaying the doubts and concerns of anyone and I have yet to speak to a single person who disagrees with me.

Any government that insists on allowing so many “back door” means of entry and then permanent residency to all – i.e., “overseas students” and “guest workers” – while we have so many Australians out of work is a disgrace. I am sure that your government will not be in office long, simply because you are going against the wishes of the majority, particularly with your immigration policies.

The “refugees” you are hell bent on allowing into this country with only the slimmest of security or any other checks are the single biggest threat to the security of this country and you government and the Labor Party generally will pay a huge price when something goes wrong, as it surely will.

We simply do not have the capacity to absorb the numbers you are allowing into Australia, Senator Evans, and I ask you to take the time to look around you, travel our roads, if you can afford the fuel and your car is strong enough to take the bumps, check the water shortages everywhere, the hospital waiting lists and their lack of equipment, the lack of police and the shortages in that service.

That should tell you where your government’s priorities should lie. Any shortages of apprentices or skilled and unskilled workers is a direct result of reductions in government funding for training over many years (not only Labor) and those people should be trained and employed from within before we open our doors to “guest workers” or anyone else looking for an easy way into Australia. We simply do not need to be importing taxi drivers, waiters, cook’s assistants, fishing deck handset (sic), etc.

Peter Edwards, Safety Bay

Mr Edwards writes like I imagine a crack-fueled hillbilly would; it makes me wonder what the copy editors had to do to get it into publishable form. He’s penned a stream-of-consciousness rant that blames everything on the “refugees” and the “overseas students” and the “temporary workers” getting into Australia through the “back door”. Nothing is too trivial to not blame it on the foreigners—roads, petrol prices, water shortages and even the hospital waiting lists. As if that’s not scary enough, Mr Edwards alludes to something “going wrong” as it “surely will”. I assume he means an African marrying his daughter.

Interestingly, he even blames the foreigners for taking our jobs and ignores the (now returning) pleas from business to address the looming skills gaps in our economy. Mr Edwards of Safety Bay knows better, we don’t need immigrants to plug the gap: we need government to reverse alleged decreases in training funding during the preceding years. As is often the case with the half-wits who write in relation to immigration matters, Mr Edwards’ assertion is easily refuted.

Funding has gone up every year for the past three years and last year, the Western Australian Auditor General released a report into attraction and retention of students in vocational education and training. In it, the Auditor General noted:

The demand for all types of VET is affected by economic conditions. Western Australia’s recent economic growth has increased industry demand for Apprentices and Trainees, while low unemployment is a factor in reducing student demand for institutional based training.

Low demand for training, high demand for workers that are in short supply. Surely even Mr Edwards can figure out how this ends—although, given the numbers of letters he’s written elsewhere, that seems unlikely.

How dare Brian Greig suggest (Letters, 1/2) the Lord’s Prayer is “mumbo jumbo” — whether in Parliament House, a church, funeral, wedding or personally at home. We as a family of practising Christians are deeply offended by the diatribes of Mr Greig and John Langford (Watson right, 1/2/10) demeaning our Christian heritage.

I am a sixth-generation Christian with wife, great-grandparents, grandparents, our children and great-grandkids all Aussie Christians. So now we have to kowtow to the new religious minorities and forget our heritage. We as a nation have been so blessed in the past — why change it? You, the do-gooders and people pleasers, allow the idol worshippers into Australia. If you read the Bible you will find that it is a divinely inspired book of numerical messages only computer experts can decipher now with advanced technology. When nations turned to idols God judged them harshly.

Israel was exiled to slavery, poverty and misery every time it turned to idol worship. Do we want the same? Don’t forget, history repeats itself.

Brian Sutton, Waroona

Firstly, let it be said that the Worst knows exactly what its readers want, so it was sure to publish Sutton’s letter immediately above the day’s Bible passage—yes, the Worst still publishes a daily extract from the (alleged) Good Book.

Sutton’s letter contains many elements of crazy, but particular attention should be given to the view that the Bible, rather than being a collection of stories about betrothals, betrayers, begetting and a warning against the intermingling of the races, is in fact a complex mathematical code. Unfortunately Sutton doesn’t tell us what the code is for, which leaves us free to speculate.

Most disturbing was the reference to the ‘idol worshipers’ by which I assume he means the Hindus and the Buddhists, but not the Muslims as they are rather more strict about idol worship than Christians have tended to be.  Of course, I’m sure Sutton is concerned about ‘Satan’s strongholds’, which are alleged to include Mosques, Bhuddist Temples and brothels.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time Sutton has been published. He’s convinced, for example, the end times are upon us (Mandurah Mail, 8 October 2009):

THE devastating earthquakes in Indonesia and Samoa are a reminder that God (not mother nature) as they are saying, caused them.

Jesus warned us that many earthquakes and signs in the sky and earth will take place and increase as it gets close to his return.

There is no other explanation as we experience the birth pangs of judgement increasing.

Brian Sutton

Waroona

He’s concerned about Charles Darwin and manages to write a short, though incredibly confusing, letter suggesting scientists are calling Jesus a liar (Community Newspapers, 23 December 2009):

I am getting weary of being told by very well fed Aboriginal people what a terrible thing my ancestors did by bringing them a lifetime of free housing, hot running water, electricity, education, health care and beer. The ladies especially can thank the wadjilas for bringing the rule of law so that their fathers are not able to sell them to old men when they are 11 or 12 years old. While you are at it you can thank us for doubling your life expectancy.

Alan Wells, Wembley

Mr Wells’ short, one paragraph letter is certainly not short on nastiness. Aboriginals are “well fed”—which is to say, fat—so how bad can life be for them? They’ve even got access to the kinds of services that everyone else in society takes for granted; how bad can life be? Any shortcomings in their lives and standards of living surely cannot be the fault of white Australia! No—obviously, Aboriginal Australians live shorter, unhealthier and more violent lives because they bring it on themselves. Now we (i.e. non-Aboriginal Australians) can get on with life without having to feel compassion or responsibility for the suffering of the Aboriginal community.

Life is so much better when you blame the victim!

It would be remiss of me, anyway, if we didn’t examine a few more of Mr Wells’ letters. Here’s one example of Mr Wells’ thoughts on Islam from July 12, 2005:

In the aftermath of the London bombings perhaps more people will come to the realisation that we are experiencing the early stages of the third world war. The combatants are disparate groups of Muslim fundamentalists on one side and the civilised world on the other.
The fundamentalists’ goal is the destruction of Western civilisation, which they see as the main barrier to their goal of a Muslim world order. They hope to achieve this by intimidating the allies of the US into ceasing to support the US and then forcing the US to become isolationist.
From there they believe that they can gradually extend their influence over other nations. I would suggest to the self-loathers, the rabid anti-US left and the handwringers that they need to think seriously about the consequences of undermining their own society.
Moderate Muslims also need to stand up and clearly and persistently voice their opposition to these freedom-hating groups. They cannot be appeased, only destroyed by determined, united and relentless opposition.

Alan Wells, Wembley.

John Chapman must have his head in the sand (We need the workers, Letters, 4/1). Most boat people are not coming here for “the opportunity of working hard towards a better life as part of a much needed manual workforce”, as Mr Chapman says, but for the free handouts they will get.

Who in their right mind aspires to go to another country to be a manual labourer? Get real … they are coming here to be fed, housed, clothed and provided with free health care at the expense of the Australian taxpayer. Australia’s genuine taxpayers cant get these “perks”. Pensioners who worked hard all their lives and built this country into the great land we now know it as can barely afford to live, let alone in any comfort. Despite their loyalty and allegiance to their country, they are abandoned in their hour of need (but that will be another letter to the editor — caring for our aged with respect).

Looking after our own is, and should be, our first priority. I don’t believe our Anzacs put their lives at risk and fought for this country’s freedom for us to open our doors to just anyone claiming to be an asylum seeker. Mr Chapman’s letter uses the term asylum seeker/boat people. Let us not lose sight of the fact that these people are illegal immigrants. The media has exposed the truth about just how much these people pay for their boat trip. If they can save up this kind of money to stow away and allegedly risk their lives, why in heaven’s name can’t they apply through the normal channels for entry to Australia like legitimate immigrants?

Australia has embassies in countries where these people are “fleeing” from. Let them go there to apply and demonstrate that they are legitimate asylum seekers. Australia’s legitimate immigrants must jump through hoops to provide evidence and justification that they can support themselves or hold valid qualifications, sometimes waiting years before considered for entry to Australia. Don’t discriminate against legitimate immigrants. Apply this policy equally across the board.

Honestly, Mr Chapman, if the tables were turned, do you think that Afghanistan or Sri Lanka would welcome you as an asylum seeker, offering you free food, shelter and health care? I think not. Taxpayers and Australians, stand up and be heard. No more boat people. No more illegal immigrants.

C. Johnson, Australind.

The arrogant presumption of C. Johnson and his (or her) failure to view refugees as ordinary—though obviously very troubled—people with ordinary needs, desires and dreams is really something. Despite probably never having actually met a refugee, C. Johnson feels confident to judge their character and pronounce them as free-loaders. Thankfully, there have been studies completed by independent bodies investigating employment levels of various migrant types to Australia. An OECD report published in 2007 entitled The Labour Market Integration of Immigrants in Australia, found that 68% of male humanitarian entrants to Australia—the immigration category under which refugees fall—were active in the labour force.

Far from simply being freeloaders as C. Johnson states, the evidence suggest that immigrants (including refugees) willingly make substantial and worthwhile contributions to Australia’s economy. Certainly, the level of support provided to humanitarian entrants is higher than other immigrant types, but that simply reflects their increased needs. Rather than despairing at the level of assistance afforded to these people—and launching spurious comparisons with significantly less-wealthy countries—C. Johnson should take pride in Australia’s ability to accept these needy, traumatized people and provide them with the opportunities to live a life of freedom and security. It reflects well on our country as a wealthy and generous society and the evidence certainly suggests that humanitarian entrants use these opportunities to ultimately join the workforce and provide for their families.

C. Johnson would do well, if he or she is so concerned about the alleged burden imposed by refugees, to join a support group and provide the assistance that humanitarian entrants require in order to fully integrate into Australia’s economy and society.

My daughter and partner were dropped in Fremantle for the night’s festivities on New Year’s Eve. They had been in Perth for their first visit from Melbourne. After a great night at a bar and café, where the partner proposed marriage (and was accepted), they headed to our agreed meeting point about 1am.

Unfortunately, they turned the wrong way and ended up in a dark area near the Cantonment Street/Parry Street intersection. They were jumped on by a group of Aboriginal youths. Eight or nine people kicked the partner and bashed him to the ground, continuing to kick and bash. My daughter ran in and jumped on the back of her partner in a vain attempt to stop the bashing and kicking but she then became a target and was basked, kicked then robbed of a pair of diamond earrings. During this time they were calling me to help them but they were far from our meeting point and it was another 15 minutes before I found them and managed to bundle them into the car and get the to Fremantle Hospital emergency centre.

I was quite shocked to find many people there with similar stories about a gang of Aboriginal youths. It was like war and the bloodied people were all over the place. After an intense time with pain relief, X-rays and testing we were allowed to leave about 8 am. The staff at Fremantle emergency were just the best, attentive and compassionate in the face of alcohol-filled patients. My sincere thanks go to them for their wonderful efforts. I thank the police from Fremantle for being patient with me during my tirade while we were interviewed later that day. Yes, the evening and its activity raised me to a white hot fever.

The police, just before Christmas, announced they were using millions of dollars to carry out surveillance work with (sic) the bikie gangs travelling from the east. No problems there. I agree with the need to monitor crime, at whatever level. But the police were using the money from the proceeds of crime fund set up for the benefit of the community. The legislation says the Police Commissioner has the right to draw from the fund for any reason or project. Surely surveillance of bikie gangs is a day-to-day policing matter. That fund was set up to aid community groups and individuals recovering from the effects of crime. It should not be used as an extra money-pot for the government agency to dip into without affecting the usual budget.

So, Police Commissioner, I challenge you to justify your use of that money.

Why are there gangs of Aboriginal youths running around the back streets of Freo attacking and robbing people? Are these the groups that were displaced and “moved on” from Northbridge? Maybe this issue demands that you dip into the slush fund again ­– this time for something that actually is seen and felt by the community as a whole. We pay taxes for a free and safer life in our cities.

Now just imagine that I am driving around Fremantle one night and a gang of Aboriginal youths walks in front of my car. Do I use the brakes or the accelerator? What would you say, Commissioner?

Name and address supplied.

On the one hand, much of the content of this letter is, if not reasonable, at least understandable—the author’s family members were violently assaulted, and the author is justifiably angry about what happened. Adding to this anger was the evidence the author collected upon arriving at Fremantle Hospital: many other people had been violently assaulted that night. The author alleges that all of the assault’s had one factor in common, Aboriginal assailants. If the allegations are correct, then the author is reasonable to ask questions about why the violence occurred and why there were no police resources available to intervene or prevent the assaults.

What is not reasonable, however, is the author’s final paragraph and the Worst’s decision to publish it reflects poorly (but accurately) on the paper. No other publication in Australia is as attuned at pandering to the prejudices of its readers than the Worst. It’s why the letter and its outrageous final paragraph were published. Consider the implication of that paragraph. A group of Aboriginal youths are alleged to have committed violent assaults on New Years Eve; therefore, all Aboriginal youths are violent criminals and legitimately subject to hostility and suspicion. Even worse, there’s some question as to whether they deserve to be run-over by drivers. It’s a warped and racist way of thinking expressed in a warped and racist letter.

The Worst is happy to print it; tarnishing an entire race on the basis of actions of some of the race’s members is no doubt good for the circulation figures.

Next time Kevin Rudd so generously agrees to admit 14,000 more refugees I hope he supplies the Australian taxpayer with a projected cost over their lives that will cost the Australian community.
My quick maths tells me it comes out at least $255 million a year at today’s values. It might sound cheap now but would be more than $6.3 billion over 25 years at today’s values.
I also hope they will be all subjected to medical tests just like bona fide immigrants are required to pass.
We don’t want more blowouts in the infections of HIV, let along more strain on our struggling health system.
Has Mr Rudd contacted relevant housing authorities to budget for this increase or are more Australians still being left homeless?
I also would like the tax on my salary adjusted because I don’t want to contribute one cent to these people.

One last question: where will Australians go when we become refugees in our own country?

Geoff Barker, Hillarys

Seemingly unable to raise intellectually honest concerns about humanitarian-based immigration, Geoff Barker of Hillarys introduces several well-established themes used by racists attempting to stir anti-immigrant and anti-refugee sentiment.

First, it’s going to cost us. His unsubstantiated costing arrives at $255 million each year. As he doesn’t bother to provide us with any break-down of how he’s arrived at these figures, it’s impossible to look into them in any detail. That being said, the alleged cost of refugees—and their alleged preferential welfare treatment—features often in the ravings of racists. There has, for example, been an email doing the rounds for several years alleging that refugees receive a larger pension payment than aged pensioners. Despite being verifiably untrue, the email continues to do the rounds and reinforces the views of those inclined to believe the email’s content. It is fair to say, then, that Mr Barker’s reference to the alleged financial costs of refugees makes it clear that his is not an intellectually honest letter.

His second point, however, really exposes Mr Barker as a racist: refugees bring disease. He suggests that refugees are not subjected to the same medical tests as other immigrants and the Worst, despite knowing better, publishes the insinuation. In May 2006, the Immigration Department wrote to the Worst correcting an earlier letter to the editor in which it had been claimed that refugees were not screened for diseases.

The fact is all permanent entrants to Australia – including refugees – are subjected to stringent health screening prior to entering the country. These tests are regarded as the most stringent in the world. As part of the visa assessment process, all permanent entrants must undergo a medical examination, an x-ray (if aged 11 or over) and an HIV/AIDS test (if aged 15 or over).

So, with refugees taking our money and spreading diseases, we appear to be two-from-two in the racist nut bag stakes. Luckily, Mr Barker doesn’t let us down and closes with a hat-trick of racist non-ideas and suggests that Australians—real Australians, white Australians—will be refugees in their own country soon. Sentiments like these pop up all over the racist web and, a little more subtly as demonstrated here, in the letters pages of the Worst.

Every Anzac Day thousands of thankful Australians respectfully recall what our fighting men and women achieved in the wars that enabled subsequent generations of citizens to enjoy unique and priceless national freedoms and blessings.

On the other hand, the Rudd government, which many of these same people voted for, will cut defence spending by $20 billion while at the same time taking our tax money, with no mandate to do so, to support the so-called refugees who flood into our land daily. “Chairman” Rudd and his cronies can’t find $395 to fix a leaky drainpipe at the SAS barracks in Perth, yet his own defence bureaucrats can happily toss away $385,000 of our money on a security fence at HMAS Stirling that should have cost $12,000.

Now our patriotic reservists are to be denied a few rounds of practice ammunition and a couple of boxes of hand grenades (Reserves denied ammo as front-line role grows, 29/12) while at the same time we are told by our brave leader that they may soon be sent to some Third World hell hole to defend our interests. No doubt a few more Aussie sons and daughters will die or be maimed in the service of the most egotistical, cynical and self-serving Prime Minister this nation has ever known. When will the people of Australia wise up to Mr Rudd and his team who are destroying our nation from within? When will an inquiry into the public service identify, name and shame those mismanaging the defence budget?

How long before the people stop pathetically murmuring “there’s nothing we can do” and demand the return of the mandate they gave to Mr Rudd at the last election and which he has so shamefully ignored? When will a real leader rise up and stop this idiocy in its tracks? Unless it happens soon, our remaining patriots, like those in the 13^th Brigade and the SAS, will simply melt away and Australia will simply morph from what remains of the lucky country into just another failed multicultural mishmash.

Lyn Vickery, Morley

Mr Vickery has established quite the web presence (no links from me, but Google his name and ‘immigration’ and you’ll find him) from which he posts his far-right, paranoid diatribes. The website caused no end of trouble for Mr Vickery in 2008 when he was disendorsed as the Liberal candidate for the state seat of Morley ahead of the state election. As the Worst explained on 11 July 2008:

There is a high level of intrigue surrounding the forthcoming fight for the new State seat of Morley, and we are not talking about the looming battle between former Labor Party member John D’Orazio and Premier Alan Carpenter’s handpicked candidate Reece Whitby.

The intrigue relates to the man who until a few days ago was the Liberal Party’s candidate for Morley and whose candidacy has been put on hold pending an examination of his close links to extreme right-wing internet site Global Action International.

A decision on the political future of writer Lyn Vickery is likely to be made by the Liberal Party’s State council at a meeting tomorrow after some cyber-sleuths dug out all the details of the now-defunct Global Action website.

Vickery, a self-styled writer whose greatest claim to fame was probably a show on the community television station Access 31, is believed to have operated the Global Action site earlier this decade with slogans such as Slash Immigration and Deport Illegals.

What was the Worst thinking publishing a letter from this man, especially when he calls for the overthrow of the legitimately elected government and when it should have already known that he inhabits the extreme right-wing fringe?
