MAN ARRESTED FOR TERRORISM
Taken from the USA Today(Aug 26,1997, p.3A) A West
Virginia militia member was recently convicted under the new anti-terrorism
legislation enacted since the Oklahoma bombing. James Rogers was convicted
of obtaining blueprints of a FBI crime lab and sold the prints to a undercover
agent. Despite the defendant's claim that the material copied was already
in the public domain he was still convicted and is awaiting sentencing.
What constitutes the public domain poses a dilemna. In new legislation in
Germany, a recent case of a woman having access to an underground newspaper
was charged and the was found innocent as I believe? The growth of the Internet
has also given the public access to many data banks. Simply accessing one
of these sites could be considered criminal in some countries. At the very
least, the Federal government is taken seriously the threat of the militia
movements in various parts of the country. Could they do any less after
Oklahoma?
THE PIPE BOMBER
| Text of Note Left in Mailboxes Text of note left in mailboxes in the Midwest where pipe bombs were found Friday: Mailboxes are exploding! Why, you ask? Attention people. You do things because you can and want (desire) to If the government controls what you want to do, they control what you can do. If you are under the impression that death exists, and you fear it, you do anything to avoid it. (This is the same way pain operates. Naturally we strive to avoid negative emotion/pain.) You allow yourself to fear death! World authorities allowed, and still allow you to fear death! In avoiding death you are forced to conform, if you fail to conform, you suffer mentally and physically. (Are world powers utilizing the natural survival instinct in a way that allows them to capitalize on the people?) To ``live'' (avoid death) in this society you are forced to conform/slave away. I'm here to help you realize/ understand that you will live no matter what! It is up to you people to open your hearts and minds. There is no such thing as death. The people I've dismissed from this reality are not at all dead. Conforming to the boundaries, and restrictions imposed by the government only reduces the substance in your lives. When 1% of the nation controls 99% of the nations total wealth, is it a wonder why there are control problems? The United States strives to provide freedom for their people. Do we really have personal freedom? I've lived here for many years, and I see much limitation. Does the definition of freedom include limitation? I've learned about the history of various civilizations in history, and I see more and more limitation. Do you people enjoy this trend of limitation? If not, change it! As long as you are uninformed about death you will continue to say ``how high'', when the government tells you to ``jump''. As long as the government is uninformed about death they will continue tell you to ``jump'' Is the government uninformed about death, or are they pretending?

Bomb Found in Rural Texas Mailbox
Tue May 7,10:36 AM ET
By BARRY BEDLAN, Associated Press Writer
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A pipe bomb was found in the Texas Panhandle and it appears
to be from the same source as 17 others found in the Midwest and Colorado,
the FBI said Tuesday.
The latest bomb was accompanied by a letter, the FBI said. Most of the earlier
bombs were accompanied by anti-government notes that warned "More `attention
getters' are on the way."
"It's another pipe bomb. It looks similar to the others," said FBI agent
Larry Holmquist in Omaha. "Upon our initial inspection, it appears it would
be from the same source."
The bomb was found late Monday or early Tuesday, Holmquist said.
There have been no arrests and no injuries reported since six people were
hurt Friday.
Authorities said anti-government notes found with most of the earlier devices
were nearly identical and profiling experts have said whoever wrote them
is probably an older American man.
Investigators had not yet inspected the letter attached to the Amarillo bomb,
Holmquist said.
"We haven't made any comparisons yet, but everything else, including the
bomb itself, looks similar in nature," he said.
The FBI had said Monday that the first 15 bombs clearly came from the same
source. The 16th bomb, found Monday in Nebraska, was "pretty much the same"
as the first 15, said Mike Matuzek, Postal Service district manager for Nebraska
and southwest Iowa.
And FBI agent Mark Mershon said the 17th bomb, found Monday in south-central
Colorado, was consistent with the others.
The discovery of the bomb in a Colorado mailbox already had made authorities
fearful that the wave of terrorism had spread out of the Midwest.
"The logical concern here, given that this device is consistent with the
others, is: `Is the tip of the iceberg?'" Mershon said after the 17th bomb
was found in a plastic bag in a curbside mailbox outside Salida, Colo.
Postal carriers in the area were told not to deliver materials to any closed
mailbox.
The scare began Friday when six people were injured by mailbox explosives
in Illinois and Iowa, creating new fears about domestic terrorism striking
the heartland.
By the end of the weekend, eight bombs had been found in Illinois and Iowa,
and then eight more were discovered in rural areas of Nebraska.
The bombs in Iowa and Illinois were found in rural locations that form
a large, uneven ring about 70 miles in diameter. The Nebraska bomb sites
form a large ring about 90 miles across.
Those two areas are separated by about 350 miles but connected by Interstate
80. Salida, about 100 miles southwest of Denver, is more than 400 miles west
of the Nebraska bomb sites.
Amarillo is about 325 miles southeast of Salida.
At Salida, all mailbox doors were open along the quiet residential street,
12 miles from the center of town, where the bomb was found. A man who answered
the door at the house said he didn't want to comment.
"It seems unreal in a small town like Salida, in a residential neighborhood.
It's just unbelievable," said Ida Hansen, a resident of the town of some
4,700 people for 20 years.
A suspected explosive device found Monday in a field about 80 miles east
of Salida turned out not to be related to the case, said Rich Marianos, a
special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
As nervous letter carriers went back to work across the Midwest on Monday,
rural residents in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska were asked to leave their
mailboxes open or remove their mailbox doors as a precaution.
Jim Pelzer wore safety goggles and earplugs as he delivered mail at Tipton,
Iowa, where one of the bombs exploded Friday. "My feeling was when we had
9-11 and the anthrax scare, I was a little concerned about my job safety,"
Pelzer said. "But now I'm intimidated and scared."
Officials described the bombs as three-quarter-inch steel pipes attached
to 9-volt batteries, and said they appeared to be triggered by being touched
or moved.

FBI issues bulletin in pipe bomb cases
May 7, 2002 Posted: 12:39 PM EDT (1639 GMT)
LUBBOCK, Texas (CNN) -- The FBI on Tuesday issued an all-points bulletin
for a 22-year-old man in connection with pipe bombs found in mailboxes in
five states within the last week.
The man was identified as Luke John Helder, whom the FBI described as a white
male with dark hair and green eyes. The FBI said he was "armed and
dangerous."
The FBI said he was last seen in Texas -- where the most recent bomb was
found -- driving a gray or black 1992 Honda Accord with a Minnesota license
plate bearing the number EZL 783.
The FBI said Tuesday that a pipe bomb found in a Texas mailbox appears similar
to the 17 found in four other states.
The explosive was discovered Monday night in Amarillo, Texas. A source from
the FBI said he believed a note was found but could not confirm
it.
FBI agents said Monday they believe one person seeking attention is
responsible for 17 pipe bombs that have been discovered since Friday in mailboxes
in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Colorado. Six people were injured last week
in Iowa and Illinois.
Authorities said they based their belief on the fact that typewritten letters
attached to the bombs were in the first person singular and the bombs were
similar in design.
In the letters, the writer is critical of the government and appears focused
on death, stating: "If the government controls what you want to do, they
control what you can do."
And: "There is no such thing as death. The people I've dismissed from this
reality are not at all dead."
The writer adds, "I'm obtaining your attention in the only way I can," and
promises more "attention getters."
FBI profilers studied the notes over the weekend and concluded Monday
the bomber appears to be an educated white man whose native language is
English.
In addition, a bomb that appears not to have been related was found after
it exploded inside a mailbox in Waldorf, Maryland, outside Washington. Unlike
the others, which were pipe bombs, it was made with chemicals contained in
a soda bottle, authorities said.
Though nearly identical, the 17 bombs in the Midwest and Colorado differed
in their detonation mechanisms, federal authorities said Monday.
"The detonation devices were apparently different in Iowa and Illinois from
what they were in Nebraska," said Holmquist. "The difference [in the detonators]
caused the explosives in Nebraska to be some more stable and less likely
to explode if someone were to handle it. However, they still were active
explosives."
Six of the eight bombs found in Iowa and Illinois blew up Friday, wounding
four postal employees and two residents. Two other devices were discovered
but rendered safe.
None of the seven bombs found in eastern Nebraska over the weekend nor the
eighth one found Monday near Hastings detonated, a spokeswoman for the Nebraska
State Patrol said.
Yet another pipe bomb was found Monday in Salida, Colorado, attached to a
folded piece of paper.
Construction was "consistent with those found recently in Nebraska and Iowa,"
said a statement from the FBI's Denver office.
"Residents throughout Colorado are asked to exercise extreme caution when
opening their mailboxes and to immediately report any suspicious packages
or activities to appropriate authorities," the statement added.
The U.S. Postal Service Web site said authorities are asking Colorado residents
to leave their rural mailbox doors open, so carriers can see inside the
receptacle.
At a news conference Sunday, Mike Matuzek, Postal Service district manager
for the Central Plains, asked residents of Iowa and Nebraska who owned
"rural-style mailboxes" -- ones that are mounted at the curb or a good distance
away from a residence -- to remove mailbox doors or fix them in such a way
that the doors can't be closed without significant effort. He also predicted
Illinois would follow suit.
"This is to provide for the safety and well-being of not only the public
but also the postal employees that are delivering the mail, " Matuzek
said.
Federal officials emphasized that, though the devices have been found
in mailboxes, none was sent through the mail.
Most of the pipes were about 1 inch in diameter and 6 inches long and were
attached to wires or a battery. The FBI has called the bombs a case
of domestic terrorism.

Man captured in mailbox bomb cases
May 7, 2002 Posted: 8:26 PM EDT (0026 GMT)
LOVELOCK, Nevada (CNN) -- The man sought for questioning in a rash of incidents
in which pipe bombs were planted in mailboxes in five states was taken into
federal custody Tuesday night in Nevada, federal authorities said.
Luke John Helder was taken into custody at 7:55 p.m. EDT after his car was
stopped by the Nevada Highway Patrol in Lovelock, about 90 miles northeast
of Reno, authorities said. They said he was apprehended following discussions
with police and is now in federal custody.
Helder, 21, still has not been charged with a crime, authorities
said.
The FBI had earlier in the day issued an all-points bulletin for a 22-year-old
college student wanted for questioning in a rash of incidents in which pipe
bombs were planted in mailboxes in five states in the past five days, in
some cases exploding.
The FBI had warned Helder should be considered "armed and dangerous" and
said he was driving a 4-door gray or black 1992-model Honda Accord bearing
Minnesota license plate EZL 873. He was last seen in Texas.
Helder was described as white, 5-foot-9 and, weighing 150 pounds with
brown hair and green eyes. He is a student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout
and a member of a three-person rock band called "Apathy," investigators
said.
At an afternoon news conference in Omaha, Nebraska, the FBI distributed a
photograph of Helder and asked him to turn himself in so that nobody else
will be harmed.
Authorities described Helder as "an intelligent young man with strong family
ties," said he has not been charged with any crime at this point and stopped
short of identifying him as a suspect.
The young man's father, Cameron Helder, issued an emotional appeal Tuesday
to his son to turn himself in.
"Luke is not a dangerous person. He is just trying to make a statement,"
the elder Helder told reporters.
The father added, choking back tears at times, "Luke, you need to talk to
someone. Please don't hurt anyone else.
It's time to talk. You have the attention you wanted. We love you very much.
We want you home safe. Please call."
Authorities had earlier released one of the typewritten notes left with the
bombs which said, "If the government controls what you want to do, they control
what you can do." It adds, "There is no such thing as death" and "I'm obtaining
your attention the only way I can."
Student had no disciplinary problems
FBI Special Agent James Bogner said that investigators want to talk to Helder
about the series of bombs in the Midwest and urged him to come
forward.
"We do not want to see him harmed or any public harmed," Bogner
said.
The agent said investigators believe the suspect moved from Illinois to Iowa
and Nebraska and then Colorado and Texas. "We think he may be located in
that part of the country," he said.
Bogner said that he did not have any indications that Helder had a gun, but
in the all-points bulletin, the FBI said he should be considered "armed and
dangerous."
He has not been charged with any crime, authorities emphasized.
The FBI urged anybody with information to call a toll-free number,
866-847-2324.
Jennifer Klement, a spokeswoman for the University of Wisconsin-Stout at
Menomonie, said Helder is registered there as a junior. She said Helder,
whose home is in Pine Island, Minnesota, is majoring in art with a concentration
in industrial design. The university, which is just west of Eau Claire, has
no record of disciplinary problems involving Helder.
This is the last week of classes at the state institution, which has
about 8,000 students. Final exams are scheduled next week.
Different detonation devices : Monday's incident in Texas raised to 18 the
number of pipe bombs found since last Friday. Six people were injured in
explosions from the first bombs in Illinois and Iowa. The devices are
cylindrical, about 6 inches long, three-quarters of an inch in diameter with
wires attached to a 9-volt battery.
According to federal investigators, three mailbox bombs were found in Illinois,
five in Iowa, eight in Nebraska, one in Colorado and one in Texas.
Though nearly identical, the bombs differed in their detonation
mechanisms.
"The detonation devices were apparently different in Iowa and Illinois from
what they were in Nebraska," said Larry Holmquist, a spokesman for the FBI's
field division in Omaha. "The difference [in the detonators] caused the
explosives in Nebraska to be somewhat more stable and less likely to explode
if someone were to handle it. However, they still were active explosives."
In Washington, Postmaster General John Potter said Tuesday 150 postal inspectors
were involved in the investigation. He said his agency's top priority "has
been to alert our employees and the public about the precautionary measures
that should be taken to minimize possible risks.
Federal officials emphasized that, though the devices have been found
in mailboxes, none of them was sent through the mail.
Though the FBI has classified the incidents as domestic terrorism, federal
officials Tuesday noted that between 1993 and 1997 an average of between
4,700 and 5,300 "explosive incidents" were reported around the country each
year -- with mailbox bombings acccounting for 26 percent, the most predominant
kind.

Pipe Bomb Suspect Puzzles Authorities
By SCOTT SONNER
.c The Associated Press
RENO, Nev. (May 9) - Friends can't believe it and even local law enforcement
officials admit the college student from Minnesota accused in a string of
pipe bombings doesn't strike them as the typical terrorist.
''He looks like the average college kid from the Midwest,'' Washoe County
Sheriff Dennis Balaam said of Lucas John Helder, 21, who is accused of placing
homemade bombs in mailboxes in five states.
''He's a quiet, polite, well-behaved, well-mannered kind of kid. When I talked
with him, he shook my hand and called me sir,'' the sheriff told The Associated
Press in Reno.
Authorities were left to reconcile that portrait with the young man they
said confessed to making 24 pipe bombs out of tape, paper clips and Christmas
tree bulbs. Six people were injured from the bombs, which were packed with
smokeless gunpowder and BBs or nails.
The FBI said Helder placed 18 of the devices in mailboxes in Iowa, Illinois,
Nebraska, Colorado and Texas, along with anti-government notes. Helder had
six other bombs with him when he was arrested Tuesday, authorities said.
''He indicated to FBI agents he knew people would be injured if these pipe
bombs were detonated,'' Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Denney said
Wednesday.
Helder faces federal charges in four states. At a brief hearing in Reno on
Wednesday, he was ordered held without bail for transfer to Iowa. He could
be sent to prison for life if convicted.
U.S. District Court Magistrate Robert McQuaid Jr. denied a request to release
Helder to the custody of his parents. ''It's apparent to me that he suffers
from some apparent mental health problems,'' McQuaid said.
Asked by the judge if he understood that he does not have to make any statement,
Helder replied, ''most definitely.'' Asked if he understood that any statements
he made can be used against him, he replied ''for sure.''
Helder's deputy public defender, Vito de la Cruz, said Helder was willing
to face the charges. ''He's anxious to have a jury trial,'' he said.
The FBI issued an alert for Helder after his father, Cameron, called police
late Monday night about letters from his son that included references to
death, anti-government comments and the phrase ''Mailboxes are exploding.''
The same phrase was in the notes found with the bombs.
The bombs rattled the heartland and brought back memories of last fall's
anthrax-by-mail attacks as well as the case of the Unabomber, who was turned
in by his own brother. The bombings prompted the Postal Service to suspend
service in some areas and urge people to leave their mailboxes open so letter
carriers could peer inside.
Helder was described Wednesday as bright, polite and not given to ranting
about politics. In high school, he played football and golf and was in the
choir. Until this week, his criminal record showed only a marijuana possession
charge last October.
James Divine, his roommate at the University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie,
Wis., was quoted as telling authorities that Helder had mentioned some
''anti-government rhetoric here and there'' but that he felt it was
harmless.
The FBI said Helder admitted making the first of his eight bombs in his Menomonie
apartment after buying some of the raw materials in mid-April. He made 16
more bombs at a motel near Omaha, Neb., the FBI said.
During his odyssey, Helder was stopped by police and released three times
for traffic violations. On Friday, Helder was pulled over for speeding in
St. Edward, Neb., 12 miles from where a pipe bomb was found later.
His capture ended a virtually nonstop driving stint during which he did little
to conceal his identity. He checked into a Nebraska motel under his own name
and used his credit card at a gas station.
His parents arrived at Reno-Tahoe International Airport early Thursday from
their home in Pine Island, Minn. They appeared grim and exhausted as they
were whisked away by FBI agents. Reporters were kept well away and unable
to ask questions.
''It's finally set in that it was unfortunately their son,'' said the Rev.
Dennis Kampa, the Helders' longtime priest. ''They're thankful no one was
killed. They're very grateful nothing worse happened.''
Helder surrendered about 55 miles east of Reno after chase that hit speeds
of 100 mph. It began when a motorist spotted Helder's gray Honda on Interstate
80 and called authorities.
Helder held a loaded shotgun to his head at times during the chase, according
to Pershing County Sheriff Ron Skinner. He was talked into tossing the gun
out the car window and surrendering.
Denney said Helder ''made statements to the FBI negotiator during pursuit
that he might be interested in taking his own life.'' He told federal agents
he purchased the shotgun to kill himself, Denney said.
Helder was charged in Iowa and Illinois with using a pipe bomb in a crime
of violence and destroying property used in interstate commerce. He was charged
in Nebraska with interstate transportation of explosives and he faces a firearms
charge in Nevada.
''In my conversation with him, I asked whether he was on any medication or
thought he would do himself any harm,'' Balaam said. ''He said, 'No,' that
he was ready to face the day.''
''He probably doesn't understand the magnitude of the trouble he is in. Most
21-year-olds involved in the federal justice system across multiple jurisdictions
don't understand that.''

Wisconsin paper prints pipe bomb suspect's manifesto
MADISON, Wis., May 8, 2002 (Reuters) - In a rambling manifesto arguing that
ghosts exist and marijuana be legalized, the college art student charged
with planting pipe bombs across the U.S. heartland wrote that he and others
may die "to change all of you for the better."
"I'm taking very drastic measures in attempt to provide this information
to you. You people have failed long enough," said the six-page type-written
letter signed "Lucas Helder" and sent to a student newspaper in Madison from
Omaha, Nebraska, on Friday.
Badger Herald newspaper editor Alex Conant said Helder's missive arrived
on Monday and was turned over to the FBI on Tuesday before being published
on the paper's Web site,
www.badgerherald.com.
"I looked at it late Monday night but didn't make the connection until the
next day when his name came out," Conant said.
Helder, 21, was arrested on a Nevada highway later on Tuesday and has been
charged in the bombings that injured six people in Iowa and Illinois, including
four postal carriers. If convicted, he faces 30 years to life in prison.
Conant said the envelope was post-marked on Friday in Omaha, Nebraska --
the day the bombs went off. Other pipe bombs planted in mailboxes across
Nebraska, Colorado and Texas were not rigged to detonate, according to the
FBI, which has branded the bombings an act of "domestic terrorism."
In the letter, Helder expresses a convoluted philosophy about life and death,
and condemns society's complexity and technology for enslaving people to
money and "greed."
He also urges readers to "recognize ... that you go on when you die," alongside
vaguely worded religious beliefs and his apparent trust in the
supernatural.
"You may hear ghost stories, but have you ever seen one? If you haven't,
get out the camera and start seeing. ... I was curious about the existence
of ghosts, and my curiosity lead me to further investigation, which in turn
allowed me to KNOW ghosts truly do exist."
The letter also criticized laws against marijuana.
"Is this yet another governmental agenda utilized as a tool for order?" he
wrote. "Wake up people! You're here for such a short time, why have
regrets?"
In an oblique reference to his alleged five-day bombing campaign, Helder
wrote: "I will die/change in the end for this, but that's OK, hahaha paradise
awaits! I'm dismissing a few individuals from reality, to change all of you
for the better, surely you can understand my logic."
"See you all in 2011 (or sooner). Now go find your higher selves! As clear
and concise as possible :)," the letter concluded, followed by Helder's signature
and another rambling post-script.

The Radical Religious Right
THE R R R
Comments written by greg@qrd.org
The American Family Association, headed by the Rev. Donald Wildmon, headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi, serves as the "media watchdog" of the radical religious right. Their primary activities have been the organization of boycotts and letter writing campaigns targeted at businesses and media entities which promulgate soft porn (ex. Playboy), or portray lesbians and gay men in a positive light. Secondarily, the American Family Association targets violence on television. The American Family Association publishes a monthly newsletter (the most recent edition of which is available on their web site) listing those television shows, businesses, and advertisers who they are currently targeting, as well as opinion pieces.
Pat Robertson and the Christian Coalition
Pat Robertson is quite plausibly the best known of the Religious Right, through his abortive 1988 challenge to George Bush for the Republican Presidential nomination, and through his daily appearances on his television program - The 700 Club. Robertson survived his own political demise, and the demise of the original religious right, centered around Falwell's "Moral Majority". He retrenched, brought in Ralph Reed to head the Christian Coalition, which he founded in 1989, pioneered the stealth campaign, and now wields more raw political power than any other leader of the new religious right.
Pat Robertson has often been the victim of his own intemperate statements, perhaps nowhere so evident as his 1991 book The New World Order, in which he espouses a highly conspiracist point of view, one that would be quite at home in many of the extremist fringes of the far right. By contrast, Ralph Reed, titular head of the Christian Coalition, has appeared considerably more moderate, reaching out to Catholics and mainstream Jews in his efforts to build a broad base of political power. Reed has masterminded the grassroots campaigning tactics, as well as the art of advocating extremism with moderate language, which have gained the Christian Coalition their present power base.
Concerned Women for America
Concerned Women for America, headed by Beverly LaHaye, wife of evangelist and pastor Tim LaHaye, is a leading religious right organization. The group has long opposed abortion and women's rights, being originally formed to fight against the Equal Rights Amendment, and has recently become much more vocally opposed to equal rights for lesbians and gay people, and to the National Education Association, for it's support for a Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual History Month. Concerned Women for America has also recently taken a decidedly nativist turn in their pronouncements, opposing much United Nations involvement by the United States, and several United Nations conferences on the rights of women and children.
Focus on the Family
Focus on the Family, headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and led by Dr. James Dobson is a leader in the "pro-family", "traditional values" fight. Focus on the Family disguises much of its anti-lesbigay work behind a facade of pro-family rhetoric, but those who subscribe to it's "Family Issues Alert" fax service, are treated to a double helping. Focus on the Family was very active in advocating the passage of Colorado's Amendment Two, which denies equality to lesbian, gay and bisexual Coloradans, while providing for special rights for heterosexual Coloradans, and in advancing similar ballot initiatives in Maine. Focus has also extensively used the AIDS plague to advance their abstinence-based views regarding sex education. Focus on the Family has maintained a long-term, mutually-beneficial relationship with the Family Research Council, and has also shown a great deal of support for the Promise Keepers organization.
Paul Cameron and the Family Research Institute
Paul Cameron is both the best known, and the least credible, of the various psychologists, medical doctors, and associated professionals which actively collaborate with the Religious Right, and attempt to lend a veneer of scientific respectability to the Religious Right's anti-gay propaganda.
The Eagle Forum
Phyllis Schlafly first broke onto the conservative political landscape with the publication of her book A Choice, Not An Echo in 1964, which was an endorsement of Barry Goldwater's campaign for the Presidency. She emerged as a leader of the Religious Right's opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment in the seventies. The Eagle Forum, which she founded in 1972, has continued her fight against gender equality and feminism, and has expanded their reach to also focus on homosexuality (one of the original bases for her opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment), education, abortion and the United Nations.
Schafly's son, John was outed by the now defunct magazine Queer World in 1992.
The Lunatic Fringe - Militias, Conspiracy Theories, Holocaust Revisionists and Neo-Nazis
While many of the more mainstream Religious Right will disclaim and repudiate many of the extreme views herein contained, these views have consistently been propounded by some within the Religious Right, albeit in somewhat watered-down forms. These fringe movements are also where some of the influencing philosophies of the mainstream Religious Right -- particularly nativism and populism, can be seen most clearly. Many of these groups, particularly the Identity Christianity, and neo-Nazi groups are also virulently anti-homosexual.

In their own words: The Rutherford Institute is an international, nonprofit, legal and educational organization that specializes in the defense of religious liberty and human rights.

Campus Crusade for Christ
- Government is not God, a Political Action Committee
The modern day militia movement (if a single homogeneous movement can be said to exist), contains elements of agreement with the Religious Right, as well as elements of opposition to the Religious Right. It is, at the same time, nativist, populist and authoritarian, traits shared by the more mainstream Religious Right, and individualist, libertarian, and anti-authoritarian, traits which are fundamentally in opposition to the Religious Right.
While the militia movement contains many who are adherents to Christian Identity and White Supremacism, some of whom are in positions of authority, power and influence within the movement, those who hold these views are by no means predominant or ascendant within the militia movement. The militia movement is not, in and of itself a Neo-Nazi, White Supremacist or Racist movement.
The militia movement also contains many who are adherents of the various "New World Order" Conspiracy Theories.

The growth of the militias in recent years and their prominence on the Internet has created a resistance movement seeking to critique and resist their characterisation of the contemporary world. Many of these sites contain links to Far Right and militia pages themselves, and they provide an interesting commentary - sometimes funny - on militia affairs.

Conspiracy Theorists
Conspiracy theories, particularly "New World Order" conspiracy theories have strongly influenced segments of the religious right, especially those of the religious right who believe in the impending return of Jesus Christ, preceded by a seven year period of chaos which they refer to as "the great tribulation". These theories were largely pioneered by the work of the John Birch Society, which, in addition to being strongly anti-communist, saw the United Nations as the instrument of an international communist conspiracy. These views are particularly apparent in several of Pat Robertson's books, including The New World Order and others. Conspiracy theories are also especially evident in the writings of the religious right fringes, as typified by Texe Marrs, and in much of the material produced by the many far-right militia groups.

Christian Reconstructionism
Christian Reconstructionism is an extreme form of post-millenial, Calvinistic Protestantism which argues that it is the moral obligation of Christians to reclaim every "worldly" institution for Christ. Reconstructionism also holds that the entire Law of the Pentateuch continues as a standard of righteousness even today for Christians, and that Christians must exercise dominion through the power of God's Law over all the Earth before Christ shall come again. As part of their theology, reconstructionists hold that, under the coming "kingdom of God", which they are actively engaged in bringing about, that the Biblical penalty for homosexuality (death) will be enforced, though they will always demur that they do not advocate that the penalty be applied today, but only in some nebulous future time when they believe that God will have instituted a theocratic form of government.
Reconstructionism can be traced to the Cobb County, Georgia ordinance stating that homosexuality is against community standards. Particularly, several of the county commissioners of Cobb County are known adherents of the forms of Reconstructionism advocated by Gary North and Gary DeMar.

Their primary activities have been the organization of boycotts and letter writing campaigns targetted at businesses and media entities which promulgate soft porn (ex. Playboy), or portray lesbians and gay men in a positive light. Secondarily, the American Family Association targets violence on television.
Wildmon gained a modicum of national prominence after he sued to stop the release of the film Damned in the USA which examined the issues of censorship and the arts, prominently (and uncomplimentarily) featuring interviews with Wildmon. Wildmon lost the lawsuit, and this film remains one of the best resources for those wishing to learn more about Donald Wildmon and the American Family Association.

Holocaust Revisionism and Neo-Naziism
In addition to the 'traditional' form of anti-Semitic Holocaust revisionism, practiced by the extremist fringes of the religious right such as the Institute for Historical Review, a new form of anti-gay Holocaust revisionism, endorsed and sponsored by the somewhat more mainstream religous right, including Colorado for Family Values and the Oregon Citizen's Alliance, has recently emerged. The new anti-gay Holocaust revisionism alleges that gay men were not particularly persecuted under the German Nazi regime, and additionally, that homosexual men were especially prevalent in the ranks of German Naziism, and were in large part, the motivators of the Jewish Holocaust. This new form of Holocaust revisionism is typified by the book The Pink Swastika by Scott Lively (formerly of the Oregon Citizen's Alliance) and Kevin Abrams.
While not, in any way attempting to diminish the repugnance of 'traditional' anti-Semitic Holocaust revisionism, this new form of Holocaust revisionism poses a grave danger insofar as it is sponsored and endorsed by groups which are (marginally) closer to the political center than those groups which promulgate 'traditional' Holocaust revisionism. These groups have also shown, through the several anti-gay Oregon ballot initiatives, and the Colorado amendment two, that they are able and willing to influence public opinion to persecute gay men and lesbians.
We stand with our Jewish friends, brothers, and sisters in remembering the senseless and brutal slaughter of over twelve million of our fellow human beings -- straight and gay, Jewish and Gentile, men and women, and in proclaiming "Never Again!"

In their own words...
Founded in 1978, the Institute for Historical Review is a non-partisan, not-for-profit educational enterprise that continues the tradition of Historical Revisionism pioneered by distinguished historians such as Harry Elmer Barnes, A. J. P. Taylor, Charles Tansill, Paul Rassinier, and William H. Chamberlin.
The purpose of the IHR is, in the words of Barnes, to "bring history into accord with acts." To this end, it sheds light on suppressed information about key chapters of history, especially twentieth century history, that have special relevance today. The IHR promotes the cause of international peace by encouraging greater understanding of the root causes, nature and consequences of war. It firmly supports the First Amendment right of free speech.
Probably the best-known and certainly the most controversial aspect of the IHR's work has been its treatment of the Holocaust issue. Over the years, the IHR has published several major books and numerous probing essays by scholars such as Dr. Arthur Butz of Northwestern University and French professor Robert Faurisson that call into question the orthodox Holocaust extermination story.

Dr. Paul Cameron and the Family Research Institute
Paul Cameron is both the best known, and the least credible, of the various psychologists, medical doctors, and associated professionals which actively collaborate with the Religious Right, and attempt to lend a veneer of scientific respectability to the Religious Right's anti-gay propaganda.

The Eagle Forum
Phyllis Schlafly first broke onto the conservative political landscape with the publication of her book A Choice, Not An Echo in 1964, which was an endorsement of Barry Goldwater's campaign for the Presidency. She emerged as a leader of the Religious Right's opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment in the seventies. The Eagle Forum, which she founded in 1972, has continued her fight against gender equality and feminism, and has expanded their reach to also focus on homosexuality (one of the original bases for her opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment), education, abortion and the United Nations.
Schafly's son, John was outed by the now defunct magazine Queer World in 1992.

Pro-Lifers / Anti-Abortionists
Anti-abortionism, while not a directly queer-related issue, distinguishes itself as one of the few issues other than gay / lesbian / bi equal rights that defines the religious right. Not all anti-abortionists are per se part of the religious right, but all of the religious right are necessarily anti-abortion.

The Rutherford Institute specializes in religious liberty issues, as well as maintaining a strong presence in anti-abortion and anti-gay legal disputes. John Whitehead, the leader and founder of the Rutherford Institute first made a name for himself (successfully) defending Chuck McIlhenny, pastor of the First Orthodox Presbyterian Church in San Francisco, against a lawsuit filed by a gay man, formerly the church organist, whom he had fired for being gay.
In their own words: The Rutherford Institute is an international, nonprofit, legal and educational organization that specializes in the defense of religious liberty and human rights.
