Anaheim's Rascist-As-Hell History

ANAHEIM'S RACIST-AS-HELL HISTORY BEYOND THE KKK, AND WHY OC WEEKLY COVERS IT

Yesterday, the Anaheim Police Department—which was nowhere to be seen when counter-protestors fought Ku Klux Klan members at Pearson Park, in a melee that's making international headlines—put the blame on the media for the whole fiasco. Per the Los Angeles Times, APD spokescop Darren Wyatt said "unlike previous [KKK] gatherings, the media announced the Klan was meeting ahead of Saturday’s rally and in at least one case, encouraged counter-protesters to show up"—code for theWeekly. Hey, Darren: What part of—and we quote ourselves—"Protest PEACEFULLY" and "Do NOT try to beat them up and feed into [the Klan's] victim narrative" don't you understand?" You can look it up—hell, we even offered a tip on how to make carne asada tacos.
Meanwhile, the Times' editorial board essentially parroted Wyatt's position, writing, "One can imagine that if everyone had ignored this rally,' the Klansmen (and women) would have exercised their 1st Amendment right to spout hate, gotten bored with the lack of outraged response, then left with nothing to show for their deliberate attempt to stir up trouble." 
For the Times, Anaheim PD and people who decided to rally against the Klan two days after the Klan actually showed up, racism in the city ended when the Invisible Empire ruled over Klanaheim in the 1920s, and the Kluckers showing up last weekend is an anomaly. "Isolated" incidents shouldn't be acknowledged to this crowd, but rather left alone in the hopes bigotry finally fades away on its own. But to them, to parachuting reporters ready to offer tut-tutting dispatches from Anaheim, and to everyone shocked and disgusted that Klukkers decided to emerge again , we have this to say: you don't know your Anaheim, and you obviously haven't been reading the Weekly.
No press coverage as of yet has discussed racism in Anaheim outside of the Klan, yet no other city in Orange County—not even Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa, long the OC cities most associated with neo-Nazis in the local imagination—can boast of a white-power history as noxious as Anaheim. And for the past 20 years, this infernal rag has documented how white supremacy is interwoven into the city's DNA, going all the way back to its foundation myth of a stupid Mexican selling the plot of land that German settlers turned into Anaheim because he thought it couldn't support a goat. The Klanaheim story is old hat, the one all the media is retelling because it's easy—we told that one, too, but we highlighted someone no one ever had: brave Orange County District Attorney Alexander Patrick Nelson, who took on the Klan by himself (if only our current DA had but a pubic hair of Nelson's manhood).

And oh, have we told tales. We dug into Klan membership rolls to show Anaheim and a bunch of Orange County towns still has street names, schools, and businesses named after Klan members. We documented how beloved Anaheim pioneer Rudy Boysen, the man who set up Pearson Park, once kept Mexicans penned up in a segregated section of the park and arrested a Mexican activist for daring to go into the white part. Speaking of Pearson Park, you know the pool also used to be segregated, just like the city's schools? Or that packs of white teenagers would beat up Mexican students like my Tí­o Ezequiel at nearby Fremont Junior High in the late 1960s simply because they were Mexican? And you can't forget Anaheim's much-lionized citrus industry, which essentially treated Mexicans like slaves–and when they tried to organize for better working conditions in 1936? Brutal suppression.

All of that ancient history that has nothing to do with the present day, you say? Righteous Brothers member Bobby Hatfield declined to perform at Anaheim High School (his alma mater, as well as mine) in the 1980s and right up to his death in 2003 because he thought the school had too many Mexican students by then. The Confederate flag hung at Savanna High School (home of the Rebels!) well into the 1990s, and the school colors are still red and gray.  Tom Metzger's White Aryan Resistance (WAR) found many recruits at Katella, Magnolia and Esperanza high schools during the 1980s, especially whenever he appeared on Wally George's late-night show on KDOC-TV Channel 56. A former schoolteacher at Thomas Edison Elementary recently wrote in saying she remembers an incident during the 1990s when jack-booted thugs stormed Sycamore Junior High and Thomas Edison after school and then invaded the surrounding barrio—and police did nothing then, too.
How about elected racism? We profiled Anaheim Union High School District Trustee Harald Martin, who compared Mexican children to Tribbles, the spawning space aliens of Star Trek—that was 1999. We were there in 2001 when an anti-Mexican rally at Anaheim City Hall turned into a free-for-all where Anaheim police sat back and did nothing again (that was also the place where a black minister called me a "Jap," then a "Flip" because he thought I was Asian—HA!), and at the Phoenix Club in 2009, when notorious anti-Mexicans Joe Arpaio and Barbara Coe joined forces for a fundraiser for former sheriff's candidate Bill Hunt. Speaking of the German restaurant, we never got around to writing about the neo-Nazis who love to hang out there, but the Jewish Journal sure did–and they know a little something about hate.

More! We exposed a nightclub called The Shack as a haven for white-power shows–that was 2001—and also found neo-Nazis at the legendary Doll Hut (under previous owners, not the current batch) in 2009. And can't forget the House of Blues, where PEN1 members love to keep the mosh pit for themselves and neo-Nazis terrorized people of color as recently as last year (although not before getting their asses kicked). We broke the story in January of the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan–the same Klukkers who showed up at Pearson Park this weekend–frightening a multicultural city neighborhood with their fliers, a scare tactic they've employed across OC for years. Anaheim was where Sikh temple shooter Wade Michael Page said he had "the best time of his life. He'd always say it was like he'd finally found his bros."
Man, Anaheim is so goddamn racist that even the White Rabbit at Disneyland got caught being a bigoted ass. 
Yet we as the press—as a newspaper committed to exposing corruption in Orange County, as a newspaper run by an Anaheimer whose family has been here on and off since the 1910s—are somehow supposed to ignore all this and let racist dogs lie?

Fuck dat.
Almost none of the above history will you find covered anywhere else. We don't subscribe to the Orange County Register's notion that the default bias of any OC publication should be that Orange County is a great place full of decent, God-fearing Americans. It's as if such chroniclers think that by closing your eyes, hate disappears—and then the Klan shows up and makes everyone crazy. But that's a dereliction of duty. Orange County is the best place on Earth—and it's filled with scum who muck it up for the rest of us.
And that's why we write: to let Anaheim, the county—whoever is willing to listen—know about the hate still present in a beautiful, multicultural town.
We've received plenty of criticism by people over the years for our coverage, by people who say to forget, that the past has no influence on the present. Yet you can thread a noose from Saturday's events all the way to the city's foundation. And when you have a city leadership intent on keeping the brown down by fighting Latino activists and throwing as much money as possible at the Resort District while letting the rest of the city rot, the KKK isn't an anomaly; it's the hometown cheer squad.
And we'll keep our eye on them, hooded or not, every goose step of the way.

California Protective Parents Assoication Newsletter

California Protective Parents Association Newsletter
Dear Friends,

Filmmaker Rachel Meyrick is starting us off well in 2016. She URGENTLY needs 30 second video clips from you for her upcoming documentary. The Deadline is ThisSunday, Jan. 24th! Here is a note from Rachel to you:

Hi Ladies! I am a UK filmmaker working on a film called "What doesn't kill me"www.whatdoesntkillme.com about child custody and domestic violence. Some of you may know me already so a big HELLO to everyone.
I am editing the film and it is really going to make some waves. I have some great interviews with the likes of Barry Goldstein, Jennifer Collins, Tammy Wilson, Joan Meier, Phyllis Chesler, the Loudon twins, and many more.
The film sheds light on the two choices that battered mothers have: to stay or to go. I cannot afford to go to the BMCC in May this year but would really like some help from you guys.
I would like anyone who can to sit in front of their webcam or have a friend video you from a phone (make sure phones are held horizontal, not vertical, with no radio or TV noise on in the background) and state the following whilst looking into camera:
My name is ___ from ___ county in ____ state
I lost custody of my child(ren) to their abusive father _____ months ago.
I last saw my child/children ____ days ago.
The clips should be no more than 30 seconds. They can then be emailed directly to me:  rachelmeyrick@mac.com. If you do not want to be recognized, please state very clearly within your email - I will then blur you and re-voice your words. 
 
Should I get enough clips, my intention is to create a compilation section of the film in which multiple moms from multiple states are all saying similar things. I have some interviews with protector moms but I want the audience to be utterly overwhelmed with the amount of protector moms out there who are without their kids. Once I have you in the edit, I will be emailing you a release form to sign and send back to me (this just gives me your permission to use the footage in the film)
I will need everything on or before 24th January, so please do not delay!
 
I really appreciate your time hope you are all well and safe.
 
Huge respect, love, light and peace,
Rachel Meyrick

Wendy Greene Needs Help!

Www.Gofundme.Com 


 Ann Greene Needs Help!
By Jill Garrett
www.gofundme.com ·
Namaste View original Wendy's story and updates!  Twitter Storm

Hello,Most of the people reading this know Wendy's plight. You can go here for  Wendy's story and updates! . WhiteOutPress.com is sponsoring the domain.

Wendy's mother is REFUSING to help her. So I am asking fellow Warriors to be her family and help. If those who can, donate, I'm sure this goal will be easily reached in a short amount of time. Wendy is running out of time.There are medical issues and costs, among other costs necessary to help her win her battle: Independent psychiatric evaluation to counter the soon-to-be "officially" determined results that will find her mentally incompetent.

Polygraph. She fell last week and injured her back. She's being refused medical treatment, other than ibuprofen. She would like to see her own doctor. It's also suspected they are medicating her without her permission, so she would like the doctor to run a drug panel.The deadline for the need of the donations is no more than 2 weeks, so they can be completed before October 21st and November 6th important deadlines.

The additional money raised will help her find a place to live, hopefully with her sons, since her mother is not going to take them in. When this began on September 9th, she lost her apartment.Wendy is my best friend and my right hand in my segment of the movement: International Family Civil Rights and #OpExposeCPS Twitter Storms. Even while fighting her own battle, she has selflessly helped hundreds of people. We tried getting the attention of the media with our  Twitter Storm  and almost 17,000 Tweets later, no reporter has exposed the corruption. We cannot allow "The Powers That Be" silence Wendy forever with the label of insanity!God Bless and Namaste!

Fwd: I NEED HELP

MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME ILLEGALLY AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 

On October 3, 2011, my two minor children were taken from me and taken to California without my knowledge or my permission.  I was arrested on September 28, 2011 on a misdemeanor warrant for (insufficient funds/bounced check) from 2007.  My 24 year old daughter had my 14 year old daughter until I could bond out, and my 6 year old son was with a friend.  My 24 year old daughter lied to my friend and got my 6 year old son, she took both of my children to California without my knowledge or permission.  I was released from jail on October 3, at 3 pm and she left on a greyhound bus at 6 pm that evening. They went into a California Probate Court and filed a fraudulent petition for guardianship based on misleading facts.  They stated that I had abandoned my children and I was still incarcerated (they filed on October 8, 2011) 5 days after I had been released.   I have documentation showing the fraudulent claims on the petition for guardianship as well as the accusations of abuse and neglect. I can provide all documentation to you at any time.
On December 6, 2011, a California Probate Court Judge in Solano County granted permanent guardianship of my children and denied me any contact with my children.  (There were accusations of neglect, abuse and that I was a drug addict) ALL LIES.  The court in California contacted no agencies in Texas, CPS. Police or my children's schools to find out if there was any truth to the accusations) the judge based her decision simply on what was said about me. 
I am a single mother who has lived and raised my two children in Texas for the past 7 years; I do not have the money to fly back and forth to California or the money to hire an attorney in California to defend my rights as their parent.  I have never been away from my children in the past 13 years and I cannot get ANYONE TO LISTEN TO ME. It has been 6 months and I have not been allowed any contact with my children, my daughter is 14 and my son just turned 7 on March 29.  They have told my son that I am still in jail, he has absolutely no idea what is going on.  The choices being made for my children are not in their best interest and I believe damage is being done to them emotionally and mentally.  My 14 year old daughter is only going to school 2 hours a day and has no friends. She should be in school and having interaction with her peers.  This is a child that was a straight A student and very active in curricular activities such as band and had numerous friends in school here in Texas.  I feel that my children are being physchologically abused as my son is being misled about my situation and he is not are not allowed any contact with me or anyone that was in his life here in Texas.  He was born and raised in Texas and has numerous relationships which he is being alienated from and are being isolated with only those he now currently lives with.  They are being brainwashed and alienated from me their mother and there is no legal or just cause for this.

I filed all the legal documents in the court of California to object appointment of guardianship based on the FACTS that I am a fit parent and can care for my children and also on the FACT that California, according to the UCCJA does not have jurisdiction to make a permanent order of custody as TEXAS has OME STATE JURISDICTION, SIGNIFICANT CONNECTION JURISDICTION AND ALSO MORE APPROPRIATE FORUM JURISDICTION. I was present for the hearing via a phone conference and represented myself.  My finances do not allow me the option of hiring a personal attorney and therefore I feel not only are my rights but the rights of my children are being violated.  The state of California is allowing this travesty and are now financing the abduction of my children by allowing my daughter to collect welfare and food stamps.  I am a fit parent and have a home for my children. The Probate judge overruled the law and simply made a judgment taking my children from me without any investigation of the allegations against me.    The court in Rusk County Texas will not make a ruling on jurisdiction because California has made a permanent ruling (illegally).  I have been advised by numerous attorneys here in Texas that I need representation in California in order to have this investigated and get my children back. They have kidnapped my children and are getting away with it.  It has been 7 months and this fraud is being allowed to continue.  My daughter is receiving  cash benefits in California and she gets my sons social security benefits of  over 500 dollars and receiving food stamps as well and now they are going after me for child support. On May 18, in Solano County Familly Court, I was court ordered to start paying child support.  I do not understand how this is being allowed to continue.  I need some help please.
I would appreciate being contacted by someone in your office and advised as to whether or not you can give me any assistance or guidance. I can be contacted by phone (903) 722-5978 cell, (903) 657-5349 work or by email @ passamak@gmail.com.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Passama
