Lotta potential trouble/scandal in a lay charity.  Could bring a lot of good.  Could just as easily be a disaster.

Sean, this appears to be a lot of hype and nonsense. I've read the thread on Ignis Ardens and the email, and I can't see any mention of "breaking away" except by the person who originally posted this. And as someone on that forum points out, the original post sounds like it was written by a journalist ("founded by the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre" - traditional Catholics just don't refer to the SSPX that way when talking with one another.)

Ahh.

I didn't that it that closely.

Thank you.

SEARCHLIGHT LIES

Searchlight "clearly works on the notion that if enough mud is thrown some of it will eventually stick." Nationalism Today Issue 41.



IMAGINE, IF YOU will dear reader, that there were a Charity in this country run by criminals and political 'extremists' that published material of a political nature that attacked open, legal and democratic political parties. Wow! Wouldn't that cause a fuss? It would be all over the papers, the Charity Commission would swing into action overnight... but, perhaps not...

Let us add the matter of the Charity's Communist/Zionist so-called "anti-racist" background and maybe, just maybe, the fact that certain strings are pulled by the Jєωιѕн Board of Deputies, Special Branch/MI5 and high ranking politicians who just might be Jєωιѕн, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, Socialist or a lovely mixture of any of these.

"No! This couldn't happen! Not in democratic Britain" I hear the politically naive cry... but that's exactly what is happening and the Charity concerned is the Searchlight Educational Trust (hereafter: SET) Registered Charity No. 1013880.

But before we go onto the matter of SET, let us first take a look at Searchlight magazine which, as we'll see later is indistinguishable from SET, and some of the charming people behind it:

MRS. SONIA GABLE (SET Secretary):

Mrs. Gable is a former member of the National Party, National Front and League of Saint George (indeed at one stage she had a close relationship with 'Strasserite' Steve Brady of all three of these organisations, and other "nαzι" activists - surely taking "infiltration" a bit far?). As well as being the secretary of SET she is also sales/circulation manager of Searchlight magazine. So, she was either a White racialist - in which case is hardly suited to be involved in an "anti racist" Charity such as SET - or a political infiltrator. Being (part) Jєωιѕн, one would think she had to be an infiltrator. Not so. Members of the League of St. George knew Miss Hochfelder was a Jєωess (she wrote letters in the Feb and June 1978 editions of League Review defending Israel and Jєωs and condemning anti-Semitism and a Mr. C. Horner of Peterborough wrote a letter in the August 1978 edition attacking her for this). This lends credence to the view expressed by many that Sonia Hochfelder was a "Court Jєω" in 'Nationalist' circles. The National Front also had Jєωιѕн members and Jєωιѕн membership of the BNP caused concern in C18 circles circa. 1993 and reportedly in his recent court case, BNP 'No. 2' Nick Griffin admitted that the BNP has Jєωιѕн members - so this is not a new phenomenon.

Should such a known "racist" (or a political operative - an infiltrator is hardly a part-time functionary holding tea parties) be the secretary of a registered Charity which flirts with the political process; especially when one looks at the political and criminal 'background' of her husband (and others) connected with Searchlight magazine and SET?

MR. GERRY GABLE (Editor of political journal Searchlight, shareholder of Searchlight Publishing Ltd., criminal and speaker at SET conferences):

Although not named as such, it is very likely that Mr. Gable is one of the main organisers of SET.

Mr. Gable was a member of the Young Communist League and the Communist Party of Great Britain. He left school at 15 years of age and started as a trainee journalist on the Communist Party's Daily Worker. After a year he left for what became a career as a Communist Party trade union official. He stood for the Communist Party on Thursday the 10th of May 1962 at Northfield Ward, Stamford Hill, North London. (These links remain. In 1986 Searchlight was distributed by 'Central Books Ltd.', a Communist Party front that distributes various Marxist literature). In 1962, after 10 years unbroken membership, he left the Communist Party to "concentrate on anti-fascist work and because the party had begun to adopt an anti-Israel line".

"...There is a man who has been involved to various degrees in the anti-fascist movement for many years now who is known to be a police informer and by his own admission has contacts in the security services... His name is Gerry Gable and his publication is Searchlight." Black Flag, Autumn 1993.



His type of "anti-fascist work" soon became clear. In November 1963 Mr. Gable was arrested and held at Hornsey police station following a bungled attempt to burgle the home of historian, David Irving. On the 14th of January 1964, Gable admitted breaking into the flat with intent to steal. His associate Manny Carpel (see later) also pleaded guilty. They were both fined £20. Gable was also fined £5 for stealing a GPO pass card.

As editor of Searchlight, Gable is an expert at spreading lies and disinformation (see later evidence re. 'The Gable memorandum', secret state involvement and various incredible smears against individuals and organisations).

Gable is also a Zionist. His son served in the Israeli Defence Force (sic) which has been responsible for some of the worst crimes against unarmed civilians - even women and children (dare we mention the word 'racist' in attacks by 'superior' Jєωs against dispossessed Arabs?).

HARRY BIDNEY (Searchlight magazine's "hero", pimp, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ paedophile and criminal):

The Zionist terror group 'The 62 Group' (supporters of the terrorist Beginite Herut organisation in Israel) was unofficially based in the sordid Limbo Club in Soho. Gable was involved with the criminal '62 Group' and the Limbo Club was managed by Harry Bidney. After his death Bidney was described by Searchlight as an "hero".

In 1977 Bidney was found guilty of eight charges of living off the earnings of prostitutes. In court, Bidney was described as the company secretary of Calderhead Investments, which was headed by David Calderhead, who was jailed for, on his own admission, attempting to procure a 16-year-old boy to commit an act of gross indecency with the predatory ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ Harry Bidney.

In the March 1997 edition of Searchlight Gerry Gable wrote of his joy at having a 60th birthday surprise party sprung on him by his fellow Searchlight criminals. He listed pimp Harry Bidney as one of just eight "old and dear friends" that had "passed on". But "The evening did not pass without fond memories of you all". How quaint.

DAVE ROBERTS (Editorial board member of Searchlight magazine and criminal):

Roberts joined the editorial board of Searchlight magazine in 1974 and infiltrated political organisations for Searchlight throughout the mid 1970's. Infiltrating some lunatic fringe organisations led him to being convicted at Birmingham Crown Court of conspiring with others to burn down an Asian restaurant. He was only given a suspended sentence, which he later served as a result of a criminal conviction. Despite such events, Roberts continued to work for Searchlight for some years.

Roberts was responsible for one of Searchlight's best-known 'neo-nαzι shock' frauds - Column 88 in the 1970's (NB: Searchlight was still pushing the fictitious Column 88 to people without brains in the January 1990 issue - #175) This name has since been used (somewhat bizarrely) by the 'National Socialist Movement' (ex-National Socialist Alliance/C18, Sargent wing), who now publish a journal entitled Column 88.

MANNY CARPEL (Searchlight journalist and criminal):

Arrested alongside Gerry Gable (see above). On top of this, he was convicted the year before of assaulting P.C. William Nield and of having an offensive weapon (a metal butcher's hook). In 1967 he pleaded guilty, with Michael Cohen, of trying to break into a printing works (W.H. Jones Ltd. on 20th July, 1966) with intent to commit a felony and to possessing housebreaking tools by night. Later, when in court for setting light to a printworks in Uckfield, Sussex, and causing more than £50,000 worth of damage (November the 5th, 1980) he described himself as "a freelance journalist working for Searchlight". Despite his previous convictions, Carpel received a mere two and a half year sentence on the 13th of April 1981. (It is highly possible that the Searchlight criminals, under Gable's leadership, are planning to repeat this arson given their request in a recent issue - January 1998 - for all sorts of info on "...a well known printer in Uckfield").

Gerry Gable continues to maintain close links with Carpel.

MAURICE LUDMER (Deceased - former Searchlight editor).

Ludmer was a Communist Party supporter. In 1963 he sponsored a Mrs. O'Brien as Communist Party candidate in Moseley Ward of Birmingham in the local elections. In 1967 he performed a similar service for the Communist Party candidate Mr. Brian M. Chambers. As late as 1986, Elizabeth Ludmer, his wife and shareholder in Searchlight Publishing Ltd., was throwing garden parties for the Socialist Workers Party at her Moseley home.

Ludmer liked to promote violence against legal political meetings and demonstrations. An example of this was a meeting of the Young National Front at the Digbeth Hall in Birmingham in 1978. He was a member of the "steering committee" which whipped up a crowd which went on the rampage. The riot resulted in several police being badly injured and Saturday shoppers being terrorised by hoodlums.

Ludmer was also on the 'steering committee' of the Anti nαzι League in the 1970s. ANAL was then, as it is now, a front for the Socialist Workers Party, but was more of a 'broad front' then, containing people like Ludmer with his Communist Party connections. The 70's ANAL was far more violent than today's version (bear in mind that the 70's SWP/ANAL still contained the Red Action elements - kicked out in 1982 - who went on to form the violent Anti Fascist Action - see 'Searchlight - the Real Extremists', page 12, this issue), no doubt benefiting from Ludmer's love of organised violence against lawful demonstrations and meetings.

Searchlight continues this "proud tradition" by publishing names, addresses, phone numbers and work places of political activists, thus 'setting them up' for attack (see page 15). Great democratic credentials! Interestingly, ANAL seems to belong to the Harry Bidney fan club too. The ANAL and SWP were both based at the same address in Newcastle - above a sex shop!

DAVID EDGAR (Searchlight Publishing Ltd. shareholder ):

This man was also on the editorial board of Marxism Today. He may possibly still be involved with both Searchlight and Marxism Today. This further links Searchlight with open political activities.

MICHAEL COHEN (Searchlight photographer, shareholder in Searchlight

Publishing Ltd and criminal): Also involved and found guilty of the 1963 burglary attempt alongside Gable and Roberts. He also pleaded guilty to the W.H. Jones attempted break-in with Carpel (see above).

GRAEME ATKINSON (Searchlight's European correspondent and criminal):

Atkinson worked for (surprise surprise!) the Communist Party's Morning Star newspaper as its district reporter in Yorkshire and the North East.

When in Sweden he manhandled a young thalidomide victim, Ulf Ranshede, so badly that the Swedish police wanted him for questioning and placed him on official report.

He was convicted and fined together with Searchlight activist Michael Avril Loft of distributing an illegal leaflet during the October 1974 General Election which attacked a legal, political party (looks like SET has had good teachers!).

RAY HILL (Searchlight columnist and criminal):

Criminal: he jumped bail on a duplicate passport two days before he was due in court charged with a £2,000 credit card swindle. He went to South Africa to avoid criminal charges (and joined the South African National Front) and came back to England under a similar cloud. He was also facing charges in connection with the theft of £20,000 from a Masonic organisation called The Sons of England, for which he was secretary.

These events happened during the period when Mr. Hill was a member of various organisations that could be described as Fascist or National Socialist (though some do not fit that description); indeed, when he announced he was a "mole" he was Press Officer for the BNP. "So his "conversion" to 'anti-fascism' and the pay-roll of Searchlight magazine might have seen him change his law-breaking ways?" thinks the political novice.

Unfortunately not. Mr. Hill appeared in Lincoln Crown Court (March 1988) when a Mr. George Lewis was the defendant in the case of indecent assault of young males. In short, Mr. Lewis, who had been jailed in Zimbabwe for sɛҳuąƖ offences, was the victim of blackmail by Ray Hill, whom Mr. Lewis claimed - despite working for Searchlight magazine - was still "anti-Jєωιѕн". The jury believed Mr. Lewis and he was acquitted.

SEARCHLIGHT VIOLENCE

Despite constantly condemning others for their "criminal" and "violent" past, Searchlight's main 'moles' - Ray Hill and Tim Hepple both fit this bill. Indeed, Gable adheres to the "East End Socialist and Communist tradition of raising hell and, when necessary, fighting on the streets" - Jєωιѕн Chronicle 23rd October 1987.



In his column in Searchlight magazine Mr. Hill even referred to Black political activists as "Gucci-outfitted bunches of middle-class wankers" (issue 204, June 1992, page 11). and referred to Louis Farrakhan, the American Black Muslim (Nation of Islam) activist as a "worm". (issue 158 - article 'Farrakhan of Worms' attacked Black activist Lester Lewis for holding anti-Zionist and anti-Freemasonic views; he should of course believe what his masters at Searchlight tell him to). Can such talk be conducent to racial harmony?

Though he no longer regularly appears in Searchlight (due to embarrassment?) Mr. Hill's column did appear for many years after the South African affair and the Lincoln Crown Court episode.

Indeed, Ray Hill's column (Hill Street News) seems to have stopped after 1994. Of four copies of Searchlight we've seen of that year, he had a double page spread in each one, including a centre page spread. Some researchers claim this column was in fact written by others and was a concoction of news and gossip landing on Gable's desk, with Hill giving his name to it. Certainly in recent months another column 'News from the Sewers' has appeared which is a carbon copy of Hill's old column - maybe Searchlight feel there is little difference between Hill and the sewer. We'd tend to agree.

In the April 1994 issue of Searchlight, Gable prints a tribute to Hill: "Well you old sod, ten years later you're still on the team and, with love and respect to you and your family" - get the sick bucket! - "we hope you will be around for at least ten more". Indeed he is. But only just. Hill turned up at the 1997 60th birthday bash of Gable, proving he can still be wheeled out when times get hard.



TIM HEPPLE (Searchlight 'mole' and criminal)

This person is held by Searchlight to be their best example of an infiltrator in the far right. Hepple claims to have been a genuine Nationalist who "saw the error of his ways" and then decided to work for Searchlight. What many people have said is that Hepple in fact worked as an agent provocateur amongst the 'right' and the 'left wing' (BNP, Church of the Creator, Green Anarchist) and is nothing more than a State operative spreading disinformation. (see bibliography at the end of this article).

Whilst working at the BNP's head office in Welling, Hepple claims to have stolen "at least £40 a week" in loose money from incoming mail. (Page 19 of 'A Lie Too Far' - in Hepple's own writing) Is this sort of criminal activity promoted by Searchlight? Given the convictions of those connected with the magazine it seems likely.

THE REAL FACE OF SEARCHLIGHT

In December 1976, Searchlight was described by a stipendiary magistrate, Mr. John Milward, as "scurrilous and disreputable ... What purpose can there be in advertising opponents' meetings except for the purpose of identifying them and creating disorder and violence? This seems to be an attempt to stir up trouble which is to be very strongly deprecated." - Birmingham Post 31/12/76



The above is just the tip of the iceberg - there are numerous other sources available (ranging from trade unionist, journalist, Arab, anarchist etc.) that paint an equally disgusting picture. In short, Searchlight magazine comprises of a criminal gang, involved in political smears against legal political parties. Furthermore, if Searchlight is so opposed to racism, why did it ban, in 1990, a number of Black people from meeting in a London ѕуηαgσgυє. It seems strange that such an 'anti-racist' magazine should have no Black or Asian people on its staff.

It also seems hypocritical for Searchlight/SET to constantly be haranguing people involved throughout the political spectrum and in housing associations, business etc. for their "extremist" past, given the past of so many people involved with Searchlight: political extremists, agent provocateurs and criminals with a chequered morality (to say the least!). Pots and kettles spring to mind!

LIES

Searchlight magazine is also used to spreading all sorts of lies, fabrications and half-truths. This has resulted in them facing legal action for smears on Conservative politicians and a political researcher; and 'left-wing' shops (e.g. Housemans, near Kings Cross, London) refusing to stock their publication.

BBC TV had to pay out half a million pounds to Tory MPs Gerald Howarth and Neil Hamilton as a result of a libel action over the Panorama programme Maggie's Militant Tendancy (broadcast on the 30th January 1984 and described, not surprisingly, as "commendable" in the editorial of Searchlight issue 115), which used Searchlight's "research material". Indeed, Gerry Gable was its "Associate Producer", and as we'll see later has been called "the man mainly responsible for the programme" by a Labour MP. Searchlight were full of wind over the Panorama programme and were still accusing the Conservatives in their May 1984 edition, no. 107 (Article: 'Can of worms - will the Tories ever wriggle out?' - yes, to the tune of £500,000!).

Against the "right wing" Searchlight is a law unto itself. It fabricates terrorist groups (like Column 88) and builds up groups like the 'Ku Klux Klan' into some huge threat to 'civilisation' and 'democracy' (whilst working with some quite rum organisations themselves - see 'Searchlight - The Real Extremists' on page 12). Indeed, sometimes Searchlight are seen 'building' up one grouping, only to 'knock them down' later and claim the credit for themselves! Quite often the group won't have changed at all.

As well as the usual nonsense against (perceived) 'right wing organisations' Searchlight has also denounced the SWP for its anti-Zionist stance, Right-wing Conservatives for being 'extremists', Black groups (like the Nation of Islam - see double page spread in December 1997 issue for example - and the Black Caucus - later the Anti Racist Alliance) for failing to toe the Searchlight line (how racist!), groups who have outlined Searchlight's role with the Secret State Police (anarchists, socialists etc.) and especially researchers such as Larry O'Hara and Alexander Baron.

There was a great example of the lies Searchlight is constantly making up in its November 1997 issue. Searchlight reprinted a handwritten letter - supposedly written by a group calling itself the Mercian Klan. This letter, according to Searchlight, was sent to the Prime Minister. The letter warned of terror tactics as the BNP had "tried the political way". The scrawled, probably illegal, letter is hardly the sort of thing an underground political agitator would keep a copy of - yet Searchlight had a copy. Perhaps a contact in the government had passed a copy on? How impressive! Or is the answer rather more murky and mundane?

When New Target journal wrote to the Prime Minister, the PM's office totally denied ever receiving such a letter. Yet another Searchlight fabrication! (Searchlight has a "proud tradition" of printing hand-written letters from "political opponents", especially post cards from cσncєnтrαтισn cαмρs, Croatia and other 'hot spots'. This is a cheap and easy way to defame organisations).

Searchlight reserved some special bile for the 'Campaign Against Racism and Fascism' (CARF) who used to have a section in Searchlight, but realised that Searchlight were following another agenda and had no interest in the facts behind racist attacks. CARF now have their own magazine which reports on racism.

Searchlight also organised a Remembrance Day march (and gathered 150 people!) to oppose 'racists' - and yet no Black groups marched with them. The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign has called Searchlight "sectarian" (Searchlight - Underming Anti-Fascists, Defending Zionism) and printed convincing evidence of Searchlight's refusal to work with left-wing anti-racist, anti-Zionist organisations in Israel and their refusal to denounce the "semi-fascist Tehiya (Renaissance) and Moledet (Transfer) parties in Israel. the PSC also denounce the fact that when covering the German Republikaner and the French Front National, Searchlight fail to mention they are pro-Israel. A dinner was given in honour of Le Pen, hosted by Jacques Torczyner, President of the World Union of General Zionists. Those attending were "all of them leading members of the American Jєωιѕн community, including Dr Israel Singer, Executive Director of the World Jєωιѕн Congress" (Jєωιѕн Chronicle 4th September 1987). The PSC, a highly influential group in Palestinian circles, and the Labour Movement Campaign for Palestine also condemned Searchlight in an 'open letter' in a 1988 issue of the leftist journal Labour Briefing (date unknown).

More illegality: Searchlight, July 1998, reprinted and praised an illegal "nαzιs in Worthing" leaflet asking 'anti fascists' to send mail to the 'Flag' NF without stamps on.



The PSC also outline Searchlight's role in attacking Class War in 1985/6 (as they organised a 'Stop the City' campaign - deemed to be 'anti-semitic', does that mean most big Capitalists and bankers are Jєωs in Searchlight's eyes?). A report said "Despite the leading role of Searchlight magazine in the affair, and despite many approaches to the magazine for evidence, the sum total of material from Searchlight was nil. We are bemused by Searchlight's role in this affair." In the course of the enquiry Gable had admitted to monitoring anarchists (this is years before the Hepple/Scargill Green Anarchist affair).

Whilst FC may not have much in common, or even like, some of the above groups and individuals - the point is that Searchlight's smear tactics are pointed at anyone and anything they disagree with (or presumably are told to attack by their pay-masters!), Left, Right, Centre, Black, White or indifferent. To think of Searchlight as a magazine that only spreads lies about Nationalists is wrong. They are a lie machine in overdrive and regularly involve themselves in attacks on legal political organisations (from the National Front to the Conservative Party to the Anti Racist Alliance).

BACK TO SET

So we have established that Searchlight magazine has a lot of crooks (we suspect the rest are just waiting to be caught!) and political opportunists behind it - but should that detract from the sterling charitable work being done by SET? You betcha baby!

The fact of the matter is that Searchlight magazine and SET are indistinguishable. If you pick up a copy of Searchlight magazine and scan it for SET adverts, you'll find the terms 'Searchlight' (the magazine) and the Searchlight Educational Trust are interchangeable. For example, in the June 1998 issue of Searchlight, there is an advert on page 14 headed "Get Searchlight's Community Response Handbook Free". This is the booklet produced by SET (which we'll return to later) 'When Hate Comes to Town'. Yet to read the advert, it is produced by "Searchlight". The advert closes "Searchlight would welcome any donations to help further our youth educational work" - again, Searchlight, not SET.

Further proof of this crazy crossover exists in advert for SET in Searchlight (e.g. back cover, February 1998 edition). It opens: "Searchlight has brought together all its 33 years' experience of fighting racism and fascism to produce this unique and comprehensive handbook." No mention of SET there and if it was the Searchlight staff behind the SET booklet - which is obviously the case given the mention of "33 years" - this will explain the very same tactics of lies, fabrications, half-truths and innuendo masked as "research" to fool the gullible, not to mention attacks on legal political organisations - as we shall see later.

But let's go back to the SET advert in the June 1998 edition of Searchlight. On the same page there is an article which attacks the British National Party (BNP) and the National Democratic Party (NDP) - both legal political parties, being attacked in a political magazine.

There is also a strange reluctance for SET's charitable status or its registered number to be included in such adverts. Are the Searchlight team trying to hide their light under a bushel along with their charitable status?

And is it any wonder - for not only are the names SET and Searchlight swopped all over the place, leaving you wondering who's who, but SET and Searchlight share exactly the same address, fax and phone number, which are also shared by 'Trade Union Friends of Searchlight', another front to scam funds.

WHEN HATE COMES TO TOWN

So, let us move onto the SET booklet itself. Although we have not seen a copy ourselves (loath to give £15 to a bunch of criminals, pimps and liars) let us instead look at a complaint made by the Third Way organisation at the end of 1996.

As with the other people Searchlight has attacked and whose material we quote from in this article, no one can accuse us of being in cahoots with Third Way. Indeed, we have often attacked Third Way in print in FC for being overtly pro-ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and pro-Zionist. But that makes our use of their complaint against Searchlight all the more believable. On the 15th of October 1996 Mr Patrick Harrington of Third Way sent a complaint to the Charity Commission about SET. This is what Third Way had to say about their complaint:

"The Third Way made a complaint to the Charity Commission against the Searchlight Educational Trust on 15 October 1996. We believe that SET have breached a number of the guidelines laid down by the Charity Commission regarding political campaigning by charities.

"Charities are given special tax exemptions, and our view is that the taxpayer should not have to subsidise political campaigns in which he or she may not believe.

"The issue itself is not new. There were complaints made about Oxfam (FC Ed: re. 'Free Front Line Africa' - anti South African campaign) in the early 1990s, and more recently Prime Minister John Major warned member charities of the Real World Coalition about meddling in politics."

Third Way made some very good complaints against SET, claiming that they broke three key Charity Commission guidelines:

32. A charity whose stated purposes include the advancement of education must not overstep the boundary between education and propaganda in providing balanced information designed to enable people to make up their own mind and providing one-sided information designed to promote a particular point of view.

44. A charity must not provide information which it knows, or ought to know, to be inaccurate, or which has been distorted by selection to support a preconceived position.

46. A charity must not issue material which supports or opposes a particular political party or the government.



From the evidence Third Way gave it was clear that the booklet clearly broke the rules (No. 32) on balanced information as lies were told and Third Way were not asked for their opinion, or the facts concerning their organisation.

One lie that we can comment on, which Third Way tell the Charity Commission is an outright lie, is that the International Third Position (ITP) is a split from Third Way. As the ITP was founded in 1989 and Third Way wasn't founded until 1990, how can this be so? And this is just one example of countless such lies that could be clarified with a little real research. The fact is that Searchlight have repeated this lie on numerous occasions to 'muddy the waters' concerning Third Way and the ITP who are miles apart on matters of tactics, structure, ideology, morality, Race and Zionism. Searchlight want to give readers the impression that Third Way and the ITP are still (in some way) 'chums' or that there is much the same background to the two. "...these creeps were leading lights in the political soldier wing of the National Front before the final split in early 1990 when both groups took on the name Third Way" - Ray Hill, Searchlight March 1991.

In the February 1990 issue, the main article 'Video Nasties' warbled on about the December 1989 released video 'Revolution in Action' produced by 'TP Videos' on why many militants had left the NF, so the March 1991 'story' and every other little 'story' since then is sheer propaganda.

This is just one example of a KNOWN LIE being pushed by Searchlight. SET is continuing this charade, further proving that SET is a useful cover for Searchlight's premeditated lies and political propaganda (still, now that Searchlight are aware of the facts, thanks to the Charity Commission, we can expect them to drop that lie, along with all the others, can't we? And pigs might fly!).

SET also broke the guideline on accuracy (No. 44) and SET later admitted this in a private letter to the Charity Commission ("With one or two small exceptions, the Trust maintains that its account of the 'facts' is correct". Small exceptions? Does that mean lies? And who are they to judge their own "facts"? It seems strange that the Charity Commission would settle for that - but more on that later).

As for the guideline on political parties, SET breaks this umpteen times with its attacks on Third Way, as Mr. Harrington points out, but also with its attacks on the BNP, NF and many other legal bodies. Indeed, FC in its daily e-mail newsletter has asked all these organisations to make complaints to the Charity Commission against SET. We reiterate that request now - not for our own benefit, but for theirs.

CHARITY COMMISSION

So, to anyone looking in on the SET set-up (groan!) it seems obvious that something is wrong. We have:

1. Searchlight full of (to coin a phrase) 'thuggery, buggery, arson and whores'.

2. Searchlight and SET sharing all the same address, fax and phone facilities and key personnel.

3. Searchlight and SET constantly swopping references to each other in the magazine and in SET promotional adverts.

4. Searchlight spreading lies about political opponents - and SET following this same "proud tradition" (sic), including deliberate lies about legal political parties.

So what action have the Charity Commission taken? After the Third Way complaint were SET closed down? Were their assets frozen while an inquiry was undertaken about their role in party politics? No. This is the reply Mr. Simon Haywood of the Charity Commission made to Mr. Harrington of Third Way:

" We cannot easily determine the truth of the statements in "When Hate Comes to Town", but would expect charities as a rule to carefully check the accuracy of any statements or literature they make public. With one or two small exceptions, the Trust maintains that its account of the 'facts' is correct. Where there is some doubt, we do not believe that there has been a deliberate attempt by the charity to mislead the public. However, we have made it clear to them that we would expect particular attention to be paid to the accuracy of the information they use in any future publications. Of course you may wish to consider addressing the charity directly with your concerns about the accuracy of its printed material. "



Whilst this looks all 'fair and square' to the untrained eye - as we've already pointed out, this is allowing SET to be their own judge and jury.

Who says there was no "deliberate attempt to mislead the public" - that's what Searchlight thrive on - ask the Green Anarchists, the Anti Racist Alliance, the BNP, the NF, the NDP, right wing Conservatives, Larry O'Hara, Alexander Baron, historian David Irving, the SWP and all the other people who have been lied about in Searchlight. We use the example of Searchlight as we wish to follow their example and make Searchlight and SET interchangeable terms, as well as their tactics and their personnel's backgrounds.

LIES: In 1987 Searchlight claimed its circulation was 7,250. Benn's Media Directory for 1987 said the circulation was a mere 3,800! Who's lying?



As for contacting SET about such lies - one may as well ask David Koresh (of Waco 'fame') to sit and ask the FBI why they want to come in and chat... prior to being burnt alive! Should someone write in complaint to Searchlight, doubtless their details would appear in Searchlight magazine, their bins would be trawled through, their home might get attacked or burgled and they might just get a visit at their place of work. The Charity Commission must realise that we are dealing with a criminal gang here - not a bunch of flower power hippies opposed to nasty racists. But yet again, it seems that SET are to be the judge, jury and executioner on their own case!

Further into his reply, Mr Haywood says:

"After careful deliberation, whilst we do feel that parts of "When Hate Comes to Town" may go slightly beyond what was intended by the Guidelines, we do not consider that in the context of its work as a whole they constitute a sufficient reason to take punitive action against its trustees."



"Slightly beyond"! It attacks legal political parties! Can you imagine a 'Final Conflict Educational Trust' bringing out a booklet full of lies and half-truths about the Labour Party, Conservative Party and various Communists and Anarchists? We'd be closed down before you could say "conspiracy".

What the Charity Commission is trying to tell Joe Public - that's you and me - is that SET can get tax breaks to bring out literature full of lies and unsubstantiated claims against legal political parties (which we, as members of the public, may support, vote for, or even belong to), which goes against all the supposed rules; and yet because of who they are and their connections, SET are allowed (to all intents and purposes) to be their own judge on the matter and hence get away with it.

It's like someone saying that there was a paedophile who died of AIDS and abused children in his care, yet everything was swept under the carpet by local authorities whilst he was alive as he worked for a local Council and was a strong Labour Party activist (no, we haven't made that case up it happened not very long ago in Hackney, East London with Labour Party activist Mark Trotter) was told "We've had a complaint that you are a paedophile, but if you say you're not then that's fine by us".

SET may think they're off the hook - but we ask all FC readers, including those linked to "democratic, patriotic organisations" or who may be political opponents of SET/Searchlight regardless of their political viewpoint to make a complaint to the Charity Commission regarding SET's attacks on legal political parties and also to carefully scan future SET publications, conferences etc. for any potentially 'useful' material.

That SET have got away with it so far is, like so many of the people behind SET, criminal. Final Conflict has made a complaint against SET which is going through the system now. We urge everyone to apply pressure on the Charity Commission. Even if we can't close SET down (though they should have been a long time ago if certain strings weren't being pulled) let's at the very least make things difficult for them. Complaints about the Searchlight Educational Trust (Reg. No. 1013880) should be sent to: The Charity Commission, St. Alban's House, 57/60 Haymarket, London, SW1Y 4QX, England.

THE MYTH

SEARCHLIGHT - "the scourge of nαzιs"? Or crooks, opportunists and worse, prepared to spread lies, and work with αnтι-ѕємιтєs and thugs, and attack the "left" as well as the "right" to further their own ends?

Their use of a Black hand is also a bit much - Searchlight have constantly attacked the Black Caucus/Anti Racist Alliance as well as other Black groups. No Blacks or Asians work for Searchlight - surely a case for the draconian equal rights laws?

Gable and Co. love to call Black Nationalists who work with the Third Position and others 'token Blacks' ("fundementalists", "No Buthelezis in Britain") or much worse (how racist!) - an accusation that could well be levelled at Blacks that work with the heavily Jєωιѕн and part White, but definitely non-Black and non-Asian Searchlight criminal fraternity!

In its February 1989 issue (no. 164) Searchlight printed a photo of Anwar Ali, "Monday Club official". As more Asians are supporting the Conservatives in key areas like East London, were Searchlight trying to scare Asians like Mr. Ali by printing the photo, which can bring violence to people's doorsteps? (See the case of Mark Cotterill on page 12).

A point I would like to address the LKC in England though is why do some believe Jez Turner to be 'State'. If that is the case could evidence be cited? I met Jez and found him a pleasant sort. He is Catholic. I am happy to change my conclusion if evidence is shown he is "state". I dislike John De Lallo for example but wouldn't say he is 'state'.

Also I support Michele Renouf attending events.

Were those attacking Renouf and Hoffman as vocal with a Zionism controlling the SSPX?

There will be disagreements among SSPX folk. I am no fan of Dana or Declan Ganley but for many Irish folk, these two are pro-life, and who am I to argue with that.

At the time of the Irish Presidential election even the Democratic Right Movement, an Irish 'White Nationalist' movement now known as the Irish Nationalist Brotherhood did a radio piece on Dana Rosemary Scallon. She is a stooge.

Whilst not a member of the 'Brotherhood', Michael Quinn did a good piece on Dana and the other candidates.

Wessex makes a good point

We seem to be back in the world of political correctness to suggest that employees should not have lives after hours. If the new liberal mentality now present within the Society saw its officials taking part in mainstream politics, it would be happy. Does not Max Krahh campaign for Angela Merkel?

We have been resigned for a long time to the fact that the world dismisses the SSPX and conservative Catholics/Christians as being 'far right'. If Gertrude regards this as some revelation, it is obvious she is not from the Catholic remnant and her real target is a branch of the Society or the Society itself. We have seen though that the media and public opinion are not that interested in traditional Catholicism except when it is ambarrassing the local church or Rome.

Personally, I see the idea of an Association as a fantastic idea, and people showing necessary initiative. I don't see anything nefarious.
