FASCISM IN THE NEWS:

Russia Commemorates Nazi Blockade
AP
6 Sep 01

ST. PETERSBURG -- Elderly Russians clutching carnations streamed to a
monument in St. Petersburg on Saturday to mark the 60th anniversary of the
900-day Nazi blockade of the city then called Leningrad.

More than 1 million people are estimated to have died during the 1941-1944
siege, part of the 27 million people the Soviet Union lost because of World
War II - more than any other nation.

At Saturday's ceremony, survivors of the blockade, many accompanied by
grandchildren, laid flowers on a monument to victims and shared memories of
the siege's winters of starvation.

Witness Describes Attack On 4-Year-Old
WCCO News 4
29 Aug 01

A woman said that she witnessed two men attack 4-year-old Adrien "Nikki"
Johnson as he rode his tricycle in Inver Grove Heights Saturday afternoon.

Charges were filed Monday following the alleged assault after a Ku Klux
Klan rally in St. Paul.

Michael John Pigg, 19, of St. Paul is accused of attacking a 4-year-old
boy. He was charged with bias motivated harassment and bias motivated
assault.

Pigg and another suspect pushed the boy, Adrien "Nikki" Johnson off his
bike and yelled racial slurs, according to a criminal complaint. Pigg then
punched the child in the head, according to the complaint.

The witness, Sandra Hall, said that she told the men to leave the boy
alone. She said that the boy's mother did not try to stop the attack.

"They kept setting him on his tricycle, knocking him over and pushing him
until he cried," Hall said. "Then he'd get up, try to run away and they'd
grab him and put him back on the tricycle. He tried to pedal away, but they
just grabbed him again and pushed him back over."

Dakota County attorney Jim Backstrom said that the boy was targeted because
of the color of his skin.

Prosecutors also charged Jarod Lee Sparks, 25, of Inver Grove Heights in
the alleged attack. Authorities continue to search for Sparks.

Bond was set at $50,000 for Pigg (pictured, left), who also was charged
with criminal damage to property for allegedly biting a hole in the back
seat of an Inver Grove Heights police car that hauled him to jail. He
remained in Dakota County jail as of Tuesday evening.

Pigg made his first court appearance Monday. Prosecutors don't know if the
men are part of the Klan.

Sparks (pictured, below), who dates the victim's mother, and Pigg met at
Saturday's rally. Witnesses said that they saw the men picking on the boy
later than day in Inver Grove Heights.

State troopers escorted four dozen people to the site of the Ku Klux Klan
and National Socialist Movement rally. They created a law enforcement
barricade between the white supremacists and the hundreds of counter
demonstrators who showed up for a counter rally.

There were five arrests, including one before the rally began. There were
reports that at least one rock was thrown along with a few eggs.

Police: Suspect Jailed In Racial Assault
WCCO News 4
29 Aug 01

The second man charged with a racially motivated attack on a 4-year-old boy
riding his tricycle in an Inver Grove Heights neighborhood has turned
himself into police.

The attack occurred in the wake of a Ku Klux Klan rally at the state
Capitol in St. Paul Saturday afternoon.

Charges were filed against the two men Monday.

Michael John Pigg, 19, of St. Paul, was arrested shortly after the charges
were filed. Police then began a search for Jarod Lee Sparks, 25, of Inver
Grove Heights, who was also charged in the alleged attack.

Sparks turned himself in to police Wednesday, according to WCCO 4 News.

The charges stem from an alleged Saturday afternoon assault on 4-year-old
Adrien "Nikki" Johnson as he rode his tricycle in Inver Grove Heights.

Pigg and Sparks pushed the boy Johnson off his bike and yelled racial
slurs, according to a criminal complaint. Pigg then punched the child in
the head, according to the complaint.

A witness, Sandra Hall, said that she told the men to leave the boy alone.
She said that the boy's mother did not try to stop the attack.

Texas Woman Recants Story of KKK Assault
Reuters
5 Sep 01

LINDEN, Texas -- A black Texas woman has recanted a story of being abducted
and raped by white men dressed in Ku Klux Klan outfits and admitted she
carved the initials "KKK" into her own chest, police said on Wednesday.

Police in Linden, Texas, about 150 miles east of Dallas, said the 32-year-
old woman originally told police she was abducted on Aug. 30 in the nearby
community of Bivins by two white men.

She said the men, wearing white sheets or pillow cases over their heads in
the style of the KKK, forced her into a pickup truck and held her
overnight. She said they cut the initials into her skin before releasing
her.

But authorities became suspicious during the investigation because of
inconsistencies as the woman retold the story, said Cass County Sheriff's
Chief Deputy Ronnie Fincher.

"She admitted to doing it herself and fabricating the story," Fincher said,
adding the woman now told investigators she had cut the initials into her
own skin with a pair of scissors.

Fincher said the woman did not say why she had made up the story.

The case started when the woman came in to an area hospital on Aug. 31
suffering cuts and bruises and reported being sexually assaulted.

Cass County District Attorney Randal Lee said he was concerned the false
report could have sparked racial tensions.

"Obviously in the black community it was taken very, very seriously. I had
reports of people who were not letting their kids go play over the weekend
for fear there were Klan men running around. It hurts the whole
community," Lee said.

The woman is now expected to face criminal charges for lying to police and
could be billed for the costs of the investigation, Lee said.

Pennsylvania Gov. Ridge Applauds Lancaster's Unity Celebration To Condemn
   Racial Intolerance: Praises Residents for Standing Tall in the Face of
  Hate
Pennsylvania Office of the Governor
7 Sep 01

ERIE, Pa. -- Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge today hailed the "Unity Day
Celebration" being held tomorrow in Lancaster County, and reaffirmed that
Pennsylvania will not tolerate the Ku Klux Klan's efforts to spread hate
across the state.

The Unity Day Celebration at the Franklin and Marshall Field House was
organized to counter a rally planned in Lancaster by the Church of American
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. According to Lancaster City Police, Klan
leaders have cancelled Saturday's rally.

"As Governor, and more importantly as a citizen of Pennsylvania, I am very
proud of the people of Lancaster who have chosen to stand tall in the face
of hatred and intolerance," Gov. Ridge said. "Let's hope the Klan and other
groups like it finally get the message -- we have no tolerance for
intolerance in Pennsylvania.

"Lancaster is renowned for its wonderfully diverse culture, rich ethnic
heritage and religious tolerance. Whether African-American or Asian, Amish
or Latino, Lancaster's people recognize that their future success --
economically and socially -- lies in the strength of their diversity.

"As Americans, we value our freedom. Although the Constitution affords the
Klan the right to assemble, there's nothing in it that requires us to
listen.

"Instead, we must exercise our right to speak out against hatred and
celebrate our unity. That is what you are doing in Lancaster. And I urge
all Pennsylvanians to follow your example."

Gov. Ridge has directed Ted Darcus, executive director of the Governor's
Advisory Commission on African-American Affairs, to represent him at the
celebration. Darcus will convey Gov. Ridge's message that Pennsylvania will
continue to act to combat racial intolerance and hate.

Gov. Ridge also praised Lancaster Mayor Charlie Smithgall, the State Police
and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission for their efforts.

Participants and supporters of the Unity Day Celebration also include
representatives of the Anti-Defamation League; the United Way; the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP); the Lancaster
Human Relations Commission; the Alliance for Tolerance and Freedom;
Millersville University; Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology; the City
of Lancaster and Lancaster County; and representatives of various religious
faiths.

Media Downplay Bigotry of Jesse Helms
Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting
31 Aug 01

August 31, 2001

News that North Carolina's Jesse Helms will retire from the Senate when his
term is up in 2003 received polite coverage in mainstream media. USA Today
(8/22/01) described Helms' views as "unabashed and outspoken conservatism."
To the Washington Post (8/22/01), Helms is one of the Senate's "most ardent
champions of conservative causes...a man of bold colors and few pastels."
Curiously using the past tense, the Los Angeles Times observed, "he
personified the unvarnished, uncompromising, attack-dog brand of
conservatism." (8/22/01)

Most of the coverage alluded to Helms' unrepentant racism and homophobia--
though few called it that. Some outlets presented his bigotry as merely
accusations from political foes: "His opponents have accused him of using
race to win elections." (CBS Evening News, 8/21/01)  Overall, most outlets
painted Helms as a conservative whose career has merely been punctuated by
controversial episodes, not as a demagogue whose career has been defined by
the politics of hate and reaction.

One exception was Washington Post columnist David Broder, whose August 29
column, headlined "Jesse Helms, White Racist," offered a glimpse into the
public record that many other reporters were side-stepping.

Broder offered a few examples of Helms' bigotry. There are many.

As an aide to the 1950 Senate campaign of North Carolina Republican
candidate Willis Smith, Helms reportedly helped create attack ads against
Smith's opponent, including one which read: "White people, wake up before
it is too late. Do you want Negroes working beside you, your wife and your
daughters, in your mills and factories? Frank Graham favors mingling of the
races." Another ad featured photographs Helms himself had doctored to
illustrate the allegation that Graham's wife had danced with a black man.
(The News and Observer 8/26/01; The New Republic, 6/19/95; The Observer,
5/5/96; "Hard Right: The Rise of Jesse Helms," by Ernest B. Furgurson,
Norton, 1986)

Ancient history? No. Helms remains unapologetic to this day.  Forty years
after the Smith campaign, Helms would win election against black opponent
Harvey Gantt with another ad playing to racist white fear-- the so-called
"white hands" ad, in which a white man's hands crumple a rejected job
application while a voiceover intones, "You needed that job...but they had
to give it to a minority."

In columns, commentaries and pronouncements from the Senate floor, Helms
sowed hatred and called names: The University of North Carolina was "the
University of Negroes and Communists." (Capital Times, 11/22/94) Black
civil rights activists were "Communists and sex perverts." (Copley News
Service, 8/23/01)

Of civil rights protests Helms wrote, "The Negro cannot count forever on
the kind of restraint that's thus far left him free to clog the streets,
disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men's rights." (WRAL-TV
commentary, 1963) He also wrote, "Crime rates and irresponsibility among
Negroes are a fact of life which must be faced." (New York Times, 2/8/81)

Over the years Helms has declared homosexuality "degenerate," and
homosexuals "weak, morally sick wretches." (Newsweek, 12/5/94) In a tirade
highlighting his routine opposition to AIDS research funding, Helms lashed
out at the Kennedy-Hatch AIDS bill in 1988: "There is not one single case
of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy." (States
News Service, 5/17/88)

Helms remonstrated ten female members of the House of Representatives to
"act like ladies" when they interrupted a Senate Foreign Relations
Committee hearing to demand support of a U.N. treaty against gender
discrimination, and subsequently had them removed from the hearing by
Capitol police. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 10/28/99)

And the man ABC News now describes as a "conservative icon" (8/22/01) in
1993 sang "Dixie" in an elevator to Carol Moseley-Braun, the first
African-American woman elected to the Senate, bragging, "I'm going to make
her cry. I'm going to sing Dixie until she cries." (Chicago Sun-Times,
8/5/93)

More recently, when a caller to CNN's Larry King Live show praised guest
Jesse Helms for "everything you've done to help keep down the niggers,"
Helms' response was to salute the camera and say, "Well, thank you, I
think." (Wilmington Star-News, 9/16/95)

Finally, Helms' strong if sometimes shadowy support for violent,
anti-democratic forces abroad, from South Africa to El Salvador, might have
given media outlets further pause in describing him as a mere conservative;
few probed his ties to groups that would more accurately be described as
fascist. One exception was an editorial in the Boston Globe (8/23/01):
"Helms' role in supporting foreign thugs such as Roberto D'Aubuisson, the
cashiered Salvadoran major who ran death squads responsible for savage
political murders, did lasting harm to America's good name. In South
Africa, Argentina, Mozambique, Honduras, and Nicaragua, Helms cooperated
with racists and fascists who have nothing in common with the ideals of
American democracy."

With 17 months remaining in his Senate term there will be many more
"send-offs" dedicated to Jesse Helms. It remains to be seen whether he will
continue to get kid glove treatment from the press, or if journalists will
choose to tell the unvarnished truth about Helms' career.

BOOK/MOVIE REVIEWS:

Torture of Low-Caste Woman Inspired New India Film
Rupali Mehra (Reuters)
30 Aug 01

NEW DELHI -- An Indian movie opening this weekend had its genesis in a
newspaper report of the rape and torture of a low-caste woman, in a
departure from the frothy song and dance staples of the world's most
prolific film industry.

"Lajja," or Shame, which depicts women grappling with discrimination across
the globe, whether in opulent New York or poverty-stricken Indian villages,
stars India's most accomplished actresses, such as Rekha and Madhuri Dixit.

"My idea is not to portray men as villains. My idea is to show the
reality," director Rajkumar Santoshi told a news conference on Wednesday.
"This film is an echo of what is happening around us."

"Lajja" sees the dusky Rekha, whose roles have ranged from comedienne to
sexy siren in three decades of acting, playing the downtrodden woman who
struggles to educate her son -- who then falls in love with a high-caste
girl.

Despite legislation, India's centuries-old caste system still circumscribes
the lives of its millions of people in many ways. One taboo forbids mixed-
caste marriages.

India has run affirmative action programs for its lower castes for 50
years, but has rejected calls to discuss the thorny issue at a U.N. racism
conference due to start in South Africa on Friday.

The forbidden love affair brings Rekha brutal reprisal, in a portrayal of
the experience of thousands of low caste, or Dalit, women in India.

"This film is about women's struggle for their right...for their self
respect," Santoshi said.

He said he drew the idea for the film from a newspaper report of a 42-year-
old low caste woman who was raped and set afire because of her son's
romance with an upper caste girl.

Some three-quarters of India's population lives in its rural areas, where
breaking the caste taboo also offends against the tradition of arranged
marriages.

Though these customs are slowly weakening in India's cities, their iron
grip shackles many in the countryside.

Last month a boy and a girl of different castes were hanged by members of
their own families in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

Actress Manisha Koirala, a niece of former Nepalese Prime Minister Girija
Prasad Koirala, plays the part of the oppressed woman in New York.

Santoshi's film also touches on issues such as dowry, the custom of men
demanding huge amounts of money and gifts from the bride's family during
marriage.

Santoshi, known for his films like "Daamini" (Woman), "Ghayal"
(Wounded), "China Gate," and "Pukaar" (Call) said he aims to make
entertaining films with an underlying social message.

The movie's cast includes other Bollywood stars like Anil Kapoor, Jackie
Shroff and Mahima Chaudhary.

Soka Gakkai to Launch Simon Wiesenthal Exhibit, Shown for First Time Ever
  Outside U.S.
Soka Gakkai
3 Sep 01

YOKOHAMA, Japan -- On September 12, 2001, the exhibition, "I Am My
Brother's Keeper: The Life and Times of Simon Wiesenthal," will open to the
public free of charge for four months at the Soka Gakkai Toda Peace
Memorial Hall in the Kanagawa prefecture city. The exhibit, developed by
the Simon Wiesenthal Center -- the acclaimed Jewish human rights
organization based in Los Angeles, USA -- and sponsored in Japan by the
Soka Gakkai, will be shown outside the United States for the first time
ever.

The exhibition consists of photographs, documents, written reflections and
memorabilia of Simon Wiesenthal, 92, the Jewish architect who survived the
Nazi Holocaust to devote his life to bringing Nazi war criminals to
justice. He has lived through repeated threats on his life, including a
letter bombing in 1982, yet remains committed to numerous human rights
causes, including the support of dissidents regardless of their nationality
or creed. Mr. Wiesenthal's work has been cited for fostering international
condemnation of all war crimes in general, serving as impetus to found a
United Nations agency to hunt and arrest war criminals.

"We wanted to show Japanese viewers how a single person, despite daunting
adversity, actually bettered the world," said Masanori Otaka, director of
the Office of Activities for Peace and Culture at the Soka Gakkai, a lay
Buddhist organization. "We also felt that it was an opportune time, given
the recent controversies over the Prime Minister's visit to Yasukuni shrine
and the glossed-over history textbook, for people in Japan to pay serious
thought to the atrocities committed in Asia by the Japanese imperial
military during the war."

The exhibit is the second collaborative effort between the Simon Wiesenthal
Center and Soka Gakkai. The first took place in 1994, when the two groups
launched the Japan exhibition of "The Courage to Remember: Anne Frank and
the Holocaust," an ongoing program that has traveled to 51 cities and
attracted some 1.7 million visitors. A third exhibit, sponsored by Soka
Gakkai affiliate Tokyo Fuji Art Museum, is slated to open in Japan next
year.

A special media viewing will be held for the "I Am My Brother's Keeper"
exhibit on its opening day, followed by a press conference held by Simon
Wiesenthal Center Associate Dean Rabbi Abraham Cooper. The program will run
in Yokohama until January 14, 2002, then travel to a number of Japanese
cities.
