The Mysterious Case Of Leo Franks

Guilty Or Innocent, The ADL IS Lying About Him

Washington, DC -- I was spurred today by further reports expanding my recent interest organized ritual sexual abuse and murder of children to investigate the case of Leo Franks, a man that the ADL claims is a Jew who was lynched "for a murder he didn't commit." The Franks case is intriguing, and, as the only accounts left in official archives are accounts which tend to exonerate him, the evidence is unclear. What is clear, however, is that, guilty or innocent, the ADL line on Franks is one of their typical paranoid, self-pitying lies.

Leo Franks was accused of the rape and murder of fourteen year old (not five, as we earlier reported), Mary Phagan, and employee in Franks' pencil factory. The evidence in the case is unclear. There are two suspects: a black janitor named Conyers and Franks. Franks was eventually tried and convicted. His conviction was upheld by six different appeals courts, including the US Supreme Court. Even post humously, despite the fact he has, posthumously, at the demand of the ADL, received a special kind of administrative "pardon", Franks has never been exonerated of guilt in the case.

The murder occured in 1913. In 1915, Franks sentence was commuted from death by hanging to life in prison. Upon receiving word of this, several residents of Atlanta took up arms, went to the jail where Franks was being held, over powered the guards with force, and lynched Franks.

Franks was an officer in the Jewish secret society B'nai B'rith. In response to this event, B'nai B'rith set up the Anti-Defamation League, to defend the convicted child murderer Franks and prove he was framed.

Needless to say, the ADL, on their web page, does not delve into the detailsn of the Franks case. 90 years after the fact, he still stands convicted.

The little the ADL does say about the case, reveals again their penchant for lying in an attempt to make Jews feel like they are being persecuted, and to create a "Jewish paranoia" which they then cynically manipulate for their own selfish profit and gain.

First, the ADL, with the big headline "Hang the Jew! Hang the Jew!" makes it seem like Franks was the victim of some sort of deep-seated, wide-spread American hatred of Jews that was brimming over into violence. Nothing could be further from the truth. Franks is the only Jew lynched in the United States since 1843, according to Georgia State Archives on the case, meaning that in a century and a half, more white men (never mind black men) have been lynched in the United States than Jews. And Franks was not lynched because he was a Jew; he was lynched because he was accused of a particular gruesome rape and murder of a very young girl -- he was accused ot he crime that would make most Americans today, regardless of race, attempt a lynching.

Second, the ADL would have one believe that Franks was accused of the murder solely because he was Jewish. However, when one considers that the other suspect in the case, and the man the ADL implicates as being guilty, is a black janitor, this argument falls down. Does anyone really believe that a bunch of rural white Southerners 100 years ago would have deliberately allowed a black man to rape and murder a white girl just so they could have an excuse to lynch a Jew? Think about that. Most rural white Southerners don't even know what a Jew is, but they know what a black man raping a white girl is -- and let's just say they don't have a very tolerant history on that point.

Third, the ADL claims that Franks was pardoned posthumously, after this incredible new evidence was found. Well, no, he wasn't. In 1986, after one witness, 70 years later, after sticking to s tory for 70 years, changed it for some reporters investigating the case, the ADL began to bug the Georgia Pardon and Parole Board to posthumously pardon Franks. After reviewing the case, the Georgia Parole Board refused, saying that it looked like he was guilty. The ADL sued, and four years later, the Georgia Pardon and Parole Board issued a pardon, not on the grounds that Franks was innocents, but on the grounds that the state had failed to protect him from the lynch mob, and therefore because of that failing, despite his guilt, he could be posthumously exonerated.

So that's the truth behind the ADL lies, but what is more interesting here is not the Franks case -- it just another unsolved and confusing murder mystery. The story is how the ADL lies about the case to reinforce the attitudes the ADL then manipulates to exploit Jewish people.

The Palestinian father, Jamil ad-Durra, trying to protect his 12 year old son Mohamend from israeli gunfire behind a barrel (barely visible from smoke to the right). Seconds later, the boy was shot dead, the father wounded and a Palestinian ambulance driver who came to rescue them was also killed.

When Israeli soldiers machine gun Arab children, and the Arabs respond by throwing rocks, the ADL holds demonstrations where American children hold up signs reading "Stones Kill". The ADL then teaches those children that what is happening in Israel is not Palestinians reacting to the murder of little children by soldiers, but part of a global conspiracy by the entire rest of the world, everyone in which is irrational and hates Jews, to destroy Jews, and therefore Jews are doing "what they have to do" when they murder the little Arab children.

In the Franks case, its not just a case of some guy the ADL thinks was wrongly accused of murder (though no one else appears to think that) being lynched in a country where lynching was a common mode of justice for horrendous crimes, but its another example of irrational, all consuming hatred of Jews that all people that aren't Jews feel, and its another excuse for all Jews to seek shelter under the protective arm of the ADL and protrate themselves as new victims of the ADL's lies.

And so on and so on. The ADL turns a profit by making Jews think they are oppressed. Jews, thinking they are oppressed, then do stupid things like coverup for other Jews who, say, run an international child rape/murder snuff film ring, because they are afraid that knowing that some Jews raped and murdered children will awaken this all consuming hatred of Jews the rest of the world feels.

And when the rest of the world rises up in protest and says, "Hey, these guys raped and murdered children", or "Hey, these guys are firing rockets into civilian apartment buildings", or anything similar, they see cowering Jews afraid to report these events in their newspapers, and cowering politicians so afraid of being labeled "anti-Semites" that they are afraid to come out and denounce these things, and they begin to feel that maybe there is something to these Jewish conspiracy theories after all.

Personally, I'm sick of these handful of deviant elements in the Jewish community that lie to and con Jews and non-Jews alike, and that poison the souls and the cultures of everyone the come into contact with, with their phony paranoid fixation on "hate" and "violence" and their near neurotic need for a "pure" "non-hateful" "tolerant" world. It is sickness and perversion, that hurts everyone, regardless of religion or race, that buys into it.
