Update for Wednesday

Guess I have had burn out for the past week and I practically forgot I had a blog.

– Recent comments have been posted. They were almost all negative, but I posted them anyway, and I will be responding to some of them, here, later. (Update – my responses are posted under the original comments.)

– Bill is still in Chicago and will probably be there a few more weeks. The mail room has been taking two or three weeks to deliver his mail. He gets a big pile of letters delivered at one time. Sometimes his newspaper gets delivered, sometimes it doesn’t. He is okay with the Chicago sentence and just glad he did not get the five years the government wanted. Somehow, he calculates that he will be out in two years, if not sooner. That is Bill. He is always getting out “soon” or even “next month” in his mind. We will see.

– Speculation on the new indictment. Apparently, the presence of 18 USC 2 in the indictment means Bill has been charged with aiding and abetting another person in sending the emails, and not with sending them himself. Bill WAS speculating a lot on the indictment, but the unexpected sentence has pushed that to the background. At any rate, under the new policy, I’m not posting Bill’s comments on his court cases any more.

– Updates on Bill’s appeals are overdue. Since this IS the Bill White Trial Update, I will try to get the latest info posted here. More later.

Bill on his press.

In court Wednesday, a balding, bespectacled White gave a half-hearted apology for “causing the situation that brings me here today”… he winced as the judge said White’s wife told the court White spent too much time online, and again when the judge reviewed medical records that describe him as having a narcissistic personality disorder.

The Chicago Sun-Times is a “right” leaning Jewish tabloid. So, I am now balding and bespectacled. LOL. I have never been described that way. LOL. I certainly didn’t wince… These personality things have been out there for years. One shrink says yes, one says no, and I don’t care. LOL. And, my apology was certainly not half-hearted.

Bill White’s Remarks to the Court in Chicago

Case 08 cr 851, US v. William White –

Your honor, I’d like to apologize for having created the situation that has brought us here today. I never believed or intended that any harm would come to Mr Hoffman as a result of my words, but, clearly, I communicated in a way that was subject to misunderstanding, and, for this, I am sorry.

During the trial, the FBI testified that I had communicated with Matt Hale before his arrest, but they did not testify to what I’d said. In December of 2002, just before Mr Hale’s arrest, I received a copy of his email declaring war on Joan Lefkow, and, my immediate response — the one the agent didn’t detail — was to tell Mr Hale to retract his statement and leave Joan Lefkow alone. Things like this did not come out at trial — but they were the truth of the matter — I was never one to encourage political violence.

Until my arrest in this case, I had never read Mr Hale’s appellate argument, in which he admitted he had solicited a murder. Until I read this, I had believed Mr Hale to be completely innocent, and it was this belief that caused me to criticize his jury. Had I known Mr Hale had admitted so much, my actions would have been different.

Since my arrest in 2008, I have abandoned any sort of political activity. As a result of my imprisonment, I lost my marriage and my business, but I spent the year I was released working without a profit to help those who invested in my business to recover as much as possible. I also spent that year living quietly in the mountains, focused on raising my now five-year old daughter. I did not have internet at my home and I did not maintain a regular phone line, not because of any court order, but because I wanted to avoid even the potential of an allegation of having done something wrong. I pursued my degree and supported myself by writing, editing and consulting for publications. I lived within the law, and I committed no crimes. I did everything in my power to eliminate my public presence and be left alone.

When released again, I’m going to continue what I did in 2011 and 2012 — I’m going to live quietly, write, raise my daughter and obey the law. All I ask is that the Court put a final end to this case it has dismissed twice by granting me a fully concurrent sentence of time served and letting me get back to my family.

Bill White in Court Today

White, wearing shackles on his legs and an orange prison-issue jumpsuit, showed no emotion as the sentence was announced. But he winced as the judge said White’s wife told the court White spent too much time online, and again when the judge reviewed medical records that describe him as having a narcissistic personality disorder.

From the Chicago Sun-Times

A neo-Nazi who incited violence against a juror in a Chicago trial was sentenced to 3-1/2 years behind bars Wednesday by a federal judge who said the white supremacist “hasn’t developed respect for the law,” despite repeated run-ins with authorities.

William White, 35, of Roanoke, Va., used his extremist website overthrow.com to post the name, address and phone numbers of the foreman in the trial of Matthew Hale, a fellow white supremacist convicted of attempting to have Judge Joan Lefkow assassinated in 2005.

The juror was a “gay anti-racist … who played a key role in convicting Matt Hale,” White wrote on Sept. 11, 2008, listing the juror’s personal and professional contact details and writing that he lived with a black lover. White had claimed in another post on his website that everyone involved in the Hale case deserved to be assassinated.

When Lefkow’s husband and mother were killed by a disgruntled litigant unconnected to any hate group, White even wrote “Good for them!”

In court Wednesday, a balding, bespectacled White gave a half-hearted apology for “causing the situation that brings me here today.”

He asked Judge Lynn Adelman to give him credit for time he has already served for a series of similar threatening acts against a bank employee, a university professor and black plaintiffs who filed lawsuits in fair housing cases.

Saying he wanted to quietly raise his 5-year-old daughter in the mountains, White said he had sworn off his extremist political activities and just wanted the judge to “let me get on with my life.”

But Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Ferrara said, “The system of justice would collapse if regular citizens could not do their jury duty without fear of this type of reprisal.”

Though the juror in this case was physically unharmed, he and his partner lived in fear, Ferrara said, urging a sentence of 5 years.

Adelman noted that White had absconded to Mexico while on supervised release for an earlier conviction, sentencing him to 42 months, one month of which will be served concurrently to a prior sentence White is already serving.

White, wearing shackles on his legs and an orange prison-issue jumpsuit, showed no emotion as the sentence was announced. But he winced as the judge said White’s wife told the court White spent too much time online, and again when the judge reviewed medical records that describe him as having a narcissistic personality disorder.

DOJ release – Bill White sentenced to 42 months, to be served consecutively to current sentence

Concurrent would mean time served, consecutive means to be served following the current sentence.

Seems to me Bill should have got the concurrent sentence. Maybe the Judge was swayed by the new indictment, which has not gone to trial, yet.

From Yahoo:

“…Although many legal professionals believe that all convicted criminals should serve their sentences consecutively, others feel that mitigating circumstances should allow for concurrent sentences. In most states, it is up to the judge’s sole discretion as to how the defendant’s sentences should be served. In others, state law requires concurrent sentences for some offenses and consecutive sentences for others.

One of the main factors used to determine the type of sentencing served is past criminal history. An individual who is committing his or her first offense is more likely to inspire leniency and compassion in the judge and to receive a concurrent sentence. An individual, on the other hand, who has been convicted before (especially of a similar crime) will probably receive a consecutive sentence.

Another factor the judge and the law will consider is the nature of the crimes involves. An individual who is convicted of three similar crimes will most likely serve concurrent sentences. However, if the crimes are unrelated (such as robbery and murder), the judge is more likely to issue an order for consecutive sentences. This is partly because the commission of one crime can lead to several charges…”

From the District Attorney’s Office:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 20, 2013
White-Supremacist William White Sentenced to 42 Months
in Prison for Soliciting Violence Against Hale Jury Foreman

CHICAGO — Self-proclaimed white-supremacist WILLIAM A. WHITE was sentenced today to 42 months in federal prison for soliciting violence to the foreman of a federal jury in Chicago that convicted another white-supremacist, Matthew Hale, in 2004. White stood trial in Chicago in January 2011 and was convicted by a jury of one count of solicitation.

“No doubt the experience was extremely frightening for the juror,” U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, of Milwaukee, who imposed the sentence, said in reference to the Hale jury foreman who was the victim of White’s violent solicitation.

Judge Adelman, who was assigned to preside over the case in Federal Court in Chicago, ordered White to serve the sentence consecutively to all but a little more than a month remaining on a federal sentence that White is currently serving for making threats to other victims and intimidating a witness in Virginia. White’s prior sentence totaled 43 months and is scheduled to end in early April.

Initially, Judge Adelman dismissed the 2008 indictment against White but a federal appeals court in Chicago reinstated the solicitation charge in 2010. After White’s trial in January 2011, the judge overturned the jury’s guilty verdict, but the government appealed and White’s conviction was reinstated, leading to today’s sentencing. White’s prior sentence stemmed from a December 2009 trial conviction by a federal jury in Roanoke.

“This defendant has been prolific in making threats to people,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Ferrara told Judge Adelman today in arguing for a consecutive sentence instead of White’s request for time served.

The evidence at White’s Chicago trial showed that after Matthew Hale was tried, convicted and sentenced for soliciting the murder of a federal j udge in Chicago, White solicited his followers to retaliate against the foreman of that jury. White created and maintained a former web site, “Overthrow.com,” which was publicly accessible on the Internet. The web site purported to be affiliated with the “American National Socialist Workers Party” (ANSWP), and claimed the organization was comprised of a “convergence of former [white supremacy] ‘movement’ activists who grew disgusted with the general garbage that ‘the movement’ has attracted and who formed the ANSWP under the Command of Bill White.” Members of the ANSWP were described as “National Socialists… who fight for white working people.”

Between Sept. 11 and Oct. 11, 2008, White used the web site to solicit anyone to injure Juror A on account of Juror A’s role as the foreperson of the jury that convicted Hale, the leader of a white-supremacist organization known as the World Church of the Creator. Hale was sentenced to 40 years in prison for soliciting the murder of a federal judge in Chicago.

As part of White’s solicitation of violence against Juror A, White posted derogatory comments and personal information about Juror A, including Juror A’s home address and phone numbers, on the Overthrow.com web site on Sept. 11, 2008. The solicitation occurred under circumstances strongly corroborating White’s intent that another person use, attempt to use, or threaten the use of force against Juror A.

White was aware that individuals associated with the white-supremacist movement, who were the target audience of his web site, at times engaged in acts of violence, directed at non-whites, Jews, gays and persons perceived by white-supremacists as acting contrary to their interests. Prior to the solicitation against Juror A, White on multiple occasions caused postings to the web site that disclosed what purported to be the home address and/or personal identifying information of individuals who were targets of criticism on the Internet.

The Government was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael Ferrara and William Hogan. The sentence was announced by Gary S. Shapiro, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and Cory B. Nelson, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

News Article – According to the last line, this is not time served. I find that hard to believe. We will see.

Neo-Nazi Bill White sentenced to 42 months in prison for juror threats
Prosector says former Roanoke landlord and neo-Nazi leader should serve all but one month of the new sentence after he completes serving time for violating his parole.
By Laurence Hammack | The Roanoke Times

Former neo-Nazi leader William A. White was sentenced today to 42 months in prison for soliciting violence against a former juror in Chicago.

It was the latest in a series of prison terms for White, who as the commander of a Roanoke-based white supremacy group was known his heated online rhetoric and emails that often bordered on threats.

Today’s sentence in federal court in Chicago came after White was convicted of soliciting violence for posting derogatory comments along with the name, address and telephone number of the foreman of a Chicago jury that convicted a fellow white supremacist in 2004.

Prosecutors have argued that White published the information with the hope it would prompt readers of his racist Web site to threaten or harm the man.

A Roanoke jury has also convicted White in separate cases of making racially charged threats. After serving a 30-month term for those charges, White was sent back to prison for violating his parole by fleeing to Mexico, where he was arrested last June.

White will serve all but about a month of the term he received today after he completes his current time, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago.

No news, yet

Looking for news on Bill’s hearing this morning, all I can find is old reports from earlier years. Here is one from 2011 that I don’t recall posting before. Posting this now as a little background information about the Chicago case:

APRIL, 2011
Fed Judge Tosses Conviction of White Supremacist Who Posted Info About Jury Foreman

By Allan Lengel
ticklethewire.com
The message is clear: Even hatemongers have Constitutional rights.

The Chicago Tribune reports that a federal judge has tossed out the conviction in Chicago of white supremacist William White who posted personal information on his website about a jury foreman who helped convict a fellow white supremacist in 2004. A jury found White had used the website to solicit an attack on the foreman.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman of Milwaukee, who had been assigned to the trial because of local conflicts of interest, wrote in a ruling that prosecutors failed to prove during trial — even though the jury convicted after three hours of deliberation — that supremacist White’s postings on overthrow.com showed he wanted the foreman harmed, the Tribune reported.

She wrote that the posting was protected by the First Amendment. [OH YEAH, I REMEMBER POSTING THIS BEFORE. ADELMAN IS A HE, NOT A SHE. LYNN ADELMAN LOOKS LIKE THE SON OF A TENNESSEE COTTON FARMER, BUT HE IS THE SON OF A ZIONIST FANATIC.]

“The First Amendment protects vehement, scathing and even offensive criticism of others, including individuals involved in the criminal justice system,” Adelman wrote, according to the Tribune. “Knowledge, suspicion or even hope that something might happen to Hoffman is not enough.”

Prosecutors charged that White had posted info in 2008 on his website about jury foreman Mark Hoffman, saying he was the “gay Jewish anti-racist” juror who had helped convict Matthew Hale for the solicitation of the murder of U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow, the Trib reported. White also included info about Hoffman including a color photo, home address, phone numbers and his cats name (Hoffman is not Jewish).

Prosecutors during trial pointed out that in 2005, White on his website called for the “assassination” of anyone involved in the Hale trial, the Trib reported.

White’s attorneys argued their client never directly solicited an attack on Hoffman, the Trib reported.

The Tribune reports that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago is considering an appeal.

Bill White’s Sentencing Hearing in Chicago, February 20

I haven’t heard from Bill today, but he sounded fine in the last batch of emails that I got from him. Reading and doing his research, as usual. I think he was hit pretty hard last week by the new indictment, but he got over it.

Some updates:

Case No. 08-cr-851 (Chicago). Sentencing hearing tomorrow at 9 AM.

The govt. is asking for Bill to be sentenced at the “high end” of the guidelines, at least five years. (Actually, I think
they want ten… Well, we will find out tomorrow.)

From the Government’s Sentencing Memorandum: Where the defendant so brazenly obstructed the operation of this system by targeting a juror, he committed a serious offense that must be punished accordingly. In sum, the nature of the crime weighs heavily in favor of a substantial sentence of no less than 63 months under §3553(a).

From Bill’s Sentencing Memorandum and Objections to PSR: In this case, three specific factors under 28 U.S.C. § 994(d) favor this Court’s grant of probation or time served, including: previous employment; family ties and responsibilities; and the degree upon which the defendant relies upon criminal activity for a livelihood…

…Defendant White is married and has a baby girl which demands his attention. This is especially true in light of his having just finished a term of incarceration for his convictions in Virginia. Additionally, Officer Rice verified Defendant White’s gainful employment as far back as 1996. PSR, pp. 14-15. White remained employed until his incarceration in these cases. Ultimately, all of the above factors are now appropriate for this Court to consider and all favor Defendant White receiving time served or probation so he may begin rebuilding his life.

I think Judge Adelman will side with Bill again, as he did in 2009 and 2011.

Case No. 13-cr-013 (Roanoke). Rude comments about Bill and the new indictment – people have been sending them. I’m not going to post them.

This case is assigned to Judge Turk, but I think he will throw it out.

Case No. 12-mj-02833 (Miami, Florida) – Bill sent some more letters to the court regarding his property, but Judge O’Sullivan did not change his ruling about the electronics that are being held.

If you think Bill has a screwy lot of cases, well, he did back in 2010 when I started this blog. His bankruptcy case was highly screwy all by itself. I just remembered his case with the lawyer Melissa Scoggins … that was still going on, the last time I checked, because she messed it up.

PACER is acting weird for me today, so that’s all the updates for now.

Bill White Books on Sale at AFP and a “little” policy change

Due to the new charges brought against Bill White last week, I have decided to take the advice of my lawyer – no, just kidding, the advice of the people who have been telling me since last June, “DON’T PRINT ANYTHING BILL WRITES IN PRISON!”

I may comment more on this later, maybe not. There are a lot of things I would like to say, but it’s just not a good idea now.

The Tradition of the Mother: The Aryan & Non-Aryan in the Near East & Europe 3000 B.C. – 1000 A.D.

________________________________________________________

The Centuries of Revolution: DEMOCRACY • COMMUNISM • ZIONISM

One of the most hard-hitting, no-nonsense writers on the American scene today, William White has been reviled for his candor, bankrupted, and railroaded into federal prison. But he remains undaunted.

In his latest book, The Centuries of Revolution: DEMOCRACY • COMMUNISM • ZIONISM, White has stepped forward with an unsettling—but highly readable and consistently fascinating— expose (and analysis) of the dark forces behind world subversion that have worked relentlessly on virtually every front to forcibly transform traditional European (and American) culture for the benefit of the financial and political power of the organized Jewish community.

Tracing the origins of this agenda back to pre-Biblical times, exploring the worship of the strange gods the Israelites encountered in Egypt, White demonstrates—with shocking clarity—that the underlying philosophy of revolution has been insidiously utilized to mesmerize and enslave the peoples of the West in order to achieve the ultimate dream of world domination. Democracy, Communism and Zionism are their tools.

This panoramic overview of historical realities lays waste to much of the nonsense and historical misinformation circulating today. This is an invaluable source of hidden history you’ll study and reference time and again. But be prepared for a journey into unexplored territory where very real demons hold sway.

Bill White Denies All Charges on New Indictment

“Look out kid, don’t matter what you did, God knows when but you’re doing it again!”

Heard from Bill, he was very chipper, to my surprise. He hasn’t seen the indictment, but from what he has heard of it, he said it sounds like junk. He gave me a kind of statement to post here, which I forgot as soon as he said it, but the gist was like what the Knave of Hearts said in Alice in Wonderland: “I didn’t send it, and they can’t prove I did!”

So, it looks like Bill will not be released from Chicago, but will be sent back to Roanoke for trial. Bill, SHU, Roanoke City Jail. Not a good thing.

SPLC on the latest indictment

This article is slanted. The lawyers at the SPLC know most of the examples given here were not criminal threats under the law.

I want to comment on the “alimony”, which will turn out not to be alimony, but, I won’t. This has gotten all too crazy for me, anyway.

ARTICLE
Serial Threat-Maker and Neo-Nazi Bill White is Charged Yet Again
Posted in Extremist Crime, Neo-Nazi by Mark Potok on February 8, 2013

Bill White, the wildly obnoxious neo-Nazi who has made a profession of lobbing criminal threats at his enemies, has apparently been at it again.

On Thursday, according to today’s edition of the Roanoke (Va.) Times, White was indicted for threatening to have his ex-wife beaten and “hospitalized” for declining to send him some $400 a month while he was a fugitive in Mexico last year. White was already being held in Chicago, where he is serving time for violating his parole by fleeing to Mexico and also awaiting sentencing for threatening a juror.

White, a one-time anarchist who later became the founder and leader of now-defunct American National Socialist Workers Party, is known for making threats over the phone and via E-mail. His targets have included black tenants of a Virginia apartment complex who sued their landlord for discrimination, a federal jury chairman who helped convict another neo-Nazi leader, a black Miami Herald columnist, and a woman at a credit card company. He once threatened to come to the home of the author of this post some time after midnight, in a car that he said was loaded with guns.

His latest alleged offense, according to the federal indictment, was to send threatening E-mails to his ex-wife, Meghan White. The two reportedly had an informal agreement that she would send him $400 a month in “alimony,” but once he fled for Mexico last May she stopped payment on her first check and did not send any more, enraging her former husband.

Infuriated, White wrote her at one point: “I would strongly recommend that you have the $500 when you are contacted – or you will probably be hospitalized.” On another occasion, he wrote: “I’ve had an offer from a loan shark in Roanoke to split the money you owe me 50/50,” the Roanoke Times reported. “He will send someone to beat you’re a– if you don’t pay, and I will give him half for the service.”

News: Bill White indicted in Roanoke for threatening estranged wife “MW”

Well, well. I’ve been quiet lately because I had a strong feeling Bill would be indicted again before his release date in April. Here it is, stories by Scott Leamon and Laurence Hammack, below. Threats to M. made last year. Emails.

(Everyone knows her name, but I’ll go along with this initials only thing for now.)

This case takes me by surprise. I don’t think this blog can be dragged into this case, and I want to keep it that way, so no comments from me.

By Scott Leamon, Reporter – email
Court records show a federal grand jury has once again indicted Roanoke Neo Nazi Bill White with threatening people.

The victim, court papers show, was his wife.

It’s unclear if they are still married. [THEY ARE, BUT THEY HAVE A DIVORCE CASE GOING.]

Investigators say he threatened the woman four times last spring during his run from Lexington to Mexico, a move that violated White’s probation.

Federal investigators claim the threats stemmed from a phony shakedown White used to try to obtain alimony payments from the victim.

He was already serving time in prison for violating probation.

No trial date on this latest round of charges has been set.

—————————————————————————————-

UPDATE. Here is Hammack baby with the news –

William A. White, a former neo-Nazi leader with a history of making threats, has been charged yet again by federal authorities in Roanoke.

An indictment returned today alleges that White sent threatening emails to his ex-wife in May and June, not long after he jumped parole and fled to Mexico.

White was angry at the woman, identified in the indictment only as “MW,” because she had stopped sending him alimony payments, federal authorities alleged.

“I would strongly recommend that you have the $500 when you are contacted — or you will probably be hospitalized,” White allegedly wrote in one of four emails cited in the indictment.

White, 35, is currently being held in Chicago while he awaits sentencing there on charges of threatening a juror.

He is also serving time for violating his parole. That offense involved fleeing to Mexico in May, about a year after he completed a 2-1/2 year prison term for making threats while he was the leader of a now-defunct neo-Nazi group he ran from Roanoke.
