										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Philip St. Raymond<br />
for <em>The American Mercury</em></p>
<p>IS IT POSSIBLE that the Jewish community &#8212; namely, the same forces that launched the massive public relations campaign portraying Leo Frank as an innocent victim of &#8220;anti-Semitism&#8221; &#8212; had a hand in murdering him? If not, then why did the Jewish-owned <em>New York Times</em> (the flagship of the Frank publicity machine) create the evidently fictional &#8220;Knights of Mary Phagan&#8221; and position them as wanting to lynch Frank some months <em>before</em> the actual lynching? Was one motivation their fear that the repellent and perverse personality of a released Frank would undo all the good that their propaganda had done for the Jewish people? Was another motive their desire to position Jews as &#8220;victims of the Klan&#8221; in the public&#8217;s mind &#8212; even though the Jews of that time can more accurately be described as <em>collaborators</em> with the Ku Klux Klan in attacking Black people? (ILLUSTRATION: The Ku Klux Klan: How many Americans know about its close historic relationship to the Jewish community?)</p>
<audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-2773-3" preload="none" style="width: 100%;" controls="controls"><source type="audio/mpeg" src="https://theamericanmercury.org/audio/NOI%20-%20Leo%20Frank%20-%20part%2016.mp3?_=3" /><a href="https://theamericanmercury.org/audio/NOI%20-%20Leo%20Frank%20-%20part%2016.mp3">https://theamericanmercury.org/audio/NOI%20-%20Leo%20Frank%20-%20part%2016.mp3</a></audio>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this, the sixteenth audio segment of this ground-breaking work originally published by the Nation of Islam, part of their series called <em>The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews</em>, we find the most startling speculations and ideas in the entire book. Why did the powerful Jewish groups, who had launched their own investigations of the case and who had been screaming from the nation&#8217;s editorial pages for a new trial for Leo Frank, suddenly fall silent when it came to investigating and pursuing the lynching party who killed Frank? Why, even today, are the Jewish connections to the Ku Klux Klan downplayed to such an extent that they are almost unknown to the public?</p>
<p>This new audio book, based on the Nation of Islam&#8217;s <em>The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man</em>, the best investigative effort made on the Leo Frank case in the last 100 years, will take you on a trip into the past &#8212; to the greatest American murder mystery of all time; a mystery that will reveal to you the hidden forces that shape our world even today.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THE AMERICAN MERCURY and the Leo Frank Case Research Library and others working for a balanced, truthful account of the Leo Frank case have a request for any of our readers and correspondents within driving distance of Marietta, Georgia: Please attend the re-dedication ceremony of the Leo Frank lynching marker tomorrow, Thursday, August 23, at 10 am. It would be good to arrive early, perhaps at 9 am, so any pre-ceremony activities can be reported on. Please take numerous photographs of all events, make audio and video recordings of all speeches, take extensive notes including the names of all speaking participants, and also share with us your overview and opinion of the goings-on. Afterward, contact us through the contact form on this page and we will arrange to receive your materials so that our point of view of the proceedings can be preserved and made a part of the historical record. Your job is to report only, and all laws should be strictly observed and obeyed at all times, of course.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an excerpt from the <em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</em>&#8216;s take on tomorrow&#8217;s event:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p">Friday makes 103 years since 20 men broke into a prison and hanged a Jewish man in Cobb County.</p>
<p class="p">For the past four years, the Georgia Historical Society marker commemorating the lynching of Leo Frank has safely been in a Georgia Department of Transportation warehouse due to construction along the road where it was located, said Rabbi Steve Lebow of Temple Kol Emeth in Marietta.</p>
<p class="p">The marker is already back on the northwest corner of Roswell and Freys Gin roads, said GDOT spokeswoman Natalie Dale. At 10 a.m. on Aug. 23, there will be a ceremony to rededicate the marker, <a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/local/marker-marietta-will-remember-leo-frank-case/pYf7WK9H4CGheTzePO3N1K/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" shape="rect">which was first placed there in 2008</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The A<em>JC</em> flatly states that Frank was &#8220;wrongfully accused,&#8221; as if it was an established fact &#8212; very close to a complete inversion of the truth. Controlled media &#8220;journalism&#8221; doesn&#8217;t get much sleazier than this:</p>
<blockquote><p>Frank had been wrongfully accused of killing 13-year-old Mary Phagan, who worked at the pencil factory Frank ran. Gov. John M. Slaton commuted Frank two days before the execution. People rioted.</p>
<p>They ran the governor off, and he didn&#8217;t return for a decade.</p>
<p>The state&#8217;s main witness was Jim Conley, a janitor at the National Pencil Company. He said he helped Frank dispose of the girl&#8217;s body. . . .</p>
<p>Lebow, the Marietta rabbi, said the Anti-Defamation League and other Frank scholars will be at the Aug. 23 event.</p></blockquote>
<p>Let&#8217;s have a few of our own scholars there, too.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see if the wording on the marker has been in any way altered.</p>
<p>Agents of the crime-linked Jewish group, the ADL (&#8220;Anti-Defamation League&#8221;), which has been known to corrupt law enforcement officers, and other covert operatives, are expected to be in attendance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WE ARE approaching the 102nd anniversary of the lynching of Leo Frank, which will take place on August 17. Why was Leo Frank lynched? &#8212; and why was he lynched, not by a mob of illiterate haters, but by an assemblage of community leaders and eminent citizens? Does the current media story about Leo Frank &#8212; that he was an innocent victim of widespread and &#8220;virulent&#8221; anti-Semitism &#8212; really hold true when we examine the facts?</p>
<p>It is impossible to understand the lynching of Leo Frank without reading and understanding the works of Tom Watson, virtually the only major journalist of his time who bucked the trend &#8212; and refused the money proffered him to take a pro-Frank stance &#8212; and saw in the Leo Frank media circus a litany of lies, misrepresentations, bribes, perjury, and propaganda designed to nearly deify a man who was a convicted strangler and defiler of little girls.</p>
<p>You hear a lot <em>about</em> Tom Watson from the &#8220;mainstream&#8221; media &#8212; invariably denouncing him &#8212; but you almost <em>never</em> get even a complete paragraph from them of what <em>he actually said </em>about the Leo Frank case.</p>
<p>To help you understand the viewpoint of Mr. Watson, we now present for the first time the complete text, with new added audio book renditions by Vanessa Neubauer, of all of his writings on the Frank case, exactly as published in his <em>Watson&#8217;s</em> Magazine in 1915.<em> </em>Just click on the links to read each article, where you&#8217;ll see an audio player embedded after the first paragraph which will allow you to hear the audio book version.</p>
