<p>by Steve Voes</p>



<p>THIS INFORMATION COMES WITH permission directly from an insider 
source who has given me reliable information in the past, whose name I 
absolutely must keep confidential and who has been keeping me abreast of
 developments of this nature.</p>



<p>My government insider associate has informed me that Leo Frank, the 
Atlanta B’nai B’rith president who strangled little Mary Phagan, a 
13-year-old White girl who worked in his factory, to death after 
sexually assaulting her there, will be “exonerated” in 2019. This has 
been a goal of organized Jews for over a century.</p>



<p>The fix is in. A “deal” has been made between Jews — and the Black 
establishment that now nominally rules once-White Atlanta — and a 
remnant of pathetic, truckling, corrupt White officials.</p>



<p>Previously, the strong evidence against Frank, and the once-proud 
tradition of honor among Southern Whites, made exoneration impossible 
and it was repeatedly rejected despite the strongest pressure from Jews.</p>



<p>Blacks, too, had previously been resistant to exonerating Frank, and 
it was a Black nationalist group, the Nation of Islam, which had 
published one of the best books on the Frank case, <em>The Lynching of a Guilty Man</em>, in 2016 (which was made into an audio book by the <em>American Mercury</em>).
 Many Blacks also strongly resented the efforts of the pro-Frank forces,
 which included the ADL, to successively frame two innocent Black men, 
Newt Lee and James Conley, for the crime. The effort to frame Conley, 
who died nearly 60 years ago, continues even today.</p>



<span id="more-14471"></span>



<p>Inside information indicates that corrupt Black leaders have been 
given a deal in which a new “Conviction Integrity Unit” will first 
exonerate Frank — the real purpose of the unit — and then later may be 
used to reverse convictions of specially-favored Blacks.</p>



<p>The corrupt White leaders who acquiesced in the deal of course 
neither asked for nor received anything on behalf of the White 
community, whom they hate and do not represent. They possibly received 
some paltry pieces of silver for themselves — though we can’t be sure of
 that, since for many White trucklers, particularly ones from the South,
 serving and obeying Jews is enough of a reward in itself.</p>



<p>In late 2018, not long after the re-dedication of the Leo Frank 
Lynching Historical Marker at Roswell Road in Marietta, Ga., Dale 
Schwartz and the Anti-Defamation League’s legal team accelerated the 
push for the creation of a clandestine rubber-stamp committee which 
would do nothing less than exonerate Leo Frank.</p>



<p>There are other Jewish activists groups and individuals behind this 
as well, but intel is still being gathered (so that info will have to 
wait). The effort to get Leo Frank exonerated really took shape in the 
1980s and only subsided in 1986 with an embarrassing “posthumous pardon”
 which did not officially absolve Leo Frank of the ghoulish sex-murder 
he committed in 1913. The pardon did, however, give Leo Frank his civil 
rights back, like the right to vote (can dead people vote 70 years 
later?), own a firearm (God forbid his skeleton should pick up some kind
 of scary weapon!), and run for office (on the creepy Joe Biden 
ticket?). It’s unfortunate that the guilty dead can’t enjoy it when they
 are given their civil rights back, but such is life.</p>



<p style="text-align:center"><strong>One of the Loudest Living Voices in Metro Atlanta for Leo Frank’s Exoneration</strong></p>



<p>Rabbi Steven Lebow of Marietta’s Temple Kol Emeth, who moved to the 
area from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the mid-1980s, has been one of the
 loudest voices for reversing Leo Frank’s conviction (Lebow hung two 
plaques on a building which was near the lynching site, but the building
 had to be condemned for road expansion), and he is secretly 
head-over-heels excited about the guaranteed forthcoming exoneration. 
Before he found out about the newly-pending 2019 exoneration, Rabbi 
Lebow had been very frustrated, since the 1986 posthumous pardon Leo 
Frank, because it did not overturn Frank’s conviction and Frank was 
still officially recognized as the guilty culprit. He never gave up on 
his mission to convince everyone Leo Frank was innocent, even if the 
evidence couldn’t back up his claim. To him this was the “emotional 
truth” where facts don’t matter.</p>



<p style="text-align:center"><strong>Failed Attempt by Rabbi Lebow to Get a Declaration from Georgia Government of Leo Frank’s Innocence</strong></p>



<p>In 2015, Lebow was able to form a “Leo Frank was innocent” action 
A-team, made up of prominent members of the greater Atlanta community, 
activist judges (African-American Former Ga. Supreme Court Justice Leah 
Ward Sears, Former Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Norman Fletcher, 
and Cobb County Superior Court Chief Judge J. Stephen Schuster), 
Assistant DA Van Pearlberg, and ADL Lawyer Dale Schwartz. They held 
rallies and gave speeches at Lebow’s packed synagogue (hundreds showed 
up) and unilaterally petitioned then-Governor Nathan Deal, but he 
quietly refused to state Frank was innocent, taking the wind out of the 
sails of Lebow’s big dog-and-pony show. The Georgia Congressional 
Assembly did not propose any resolution to announce to the world that 
the serial pedophile and sex killer Leo Frank was innocent, either. The 
whole thing turned out to be an expensive circus.</p>



<p>Rabbi Lebow had funded billboards around town to declare Frank was 
innocent. Lebow had gaudy mustard-yellow T-shirts made up emblazoned 
with Leo Frank’s face in gray and the message “DINDU NUFFIN” — or 
something similar — emblazoned on them. To keep the parched throats of 
the attendees nice and quenched, he handed out dozens of custom-branded 
plastic bottles of Coca-Cola which had the words, “Leo Frank was 
innocent” on them. What a great way to promote such a lofty movement 
with extra-sugary teeth-rotting soda pop. Because nothing says “Leo 
Frank was innocent” better than diabetes and an expensive dental bill.</p>



<p style="text-align:center"><strong>Leo Frank Exoneration Insiders</strong></p>



<p>Many Georgia Jewish leaders who are “in the know” are keeping the 
preordained outcome hush-hush and are ordering (more like cracking the 
whip on) the DA Paul Howard to ensure the exoneration is announced on or
 before August 17, 2019 — this way they can pre-contract with all the 
major media companies to dovetail the jubilant news together with the 
major significance of Leo Frank’s 104th lynching anniversary. The 
members of this cabal are working for maximum media exposure and 
guerilla marketing, because if they can couple the exoneration directly 
with the lynching anniversary, or release the news just before the 
lynching anniversary, the story will “go viral” and have the maximum 
effect on the dull Whites who still watch TV and vote in the rigged US 
elections.</p>



<p>There is also some benefit to releasing the predetermined conclusion a
 little bit early, maybe a week. Now everyone’s on pins and needles, 
waiting with breathless anticipation for Paul Howard’s DA office to 
hurry up with producing the official “reasoning” — so the 
pre-announcement partying can begin all the sooner. Between now and 
then, it’s going to be raining champagne bottle corks and foamy 
fountains will be overflowing every kind of glass vessel; I can hear the
 cheers, <em>Mazel Tov</em>, <em>L’Chaim</em>, to Health! The whole circus is going to be ugly.</p>



<p style="text-align:center"><strong>ADL, AJF, AJC</strong></p>



<p>They finally found a very willing Atlanta DA (District Attorney) in 
Paul Howard to spearhead the “Conviction Integrity Unit” (a name Orwell 
would have loved) which has a predetermined mission to rule that the 
outcome of the Leo Frank trial in 1913 was “invalid.” The “unit” will 
also give us a hog-trough full of specious “reasoning” on how they came 
up with their preconceived decision, which will be repeated by the 
Jewish-controlled media every April and every August until the 
Revolution comes. I hear it’s going to play up “mob terrorism” and 
“anti-Semitism,” omit or twist the evidence against Frank, and attack 
the court proceedings as “unfair.” By weaving in other criminal cases to
 “examine impartially,” it blunts the fact that the committee was 
created specifically because of the Leo Frank case. A dirty, dirty 
affair, but one most appropriate and expected in the clownish death 
chamber the Jews have made of America.</p>



<p>Armed with the true lay of the land, you can read the following article by the <em>Atlanta Jewish Times</em> with a clear understanding.</p>



<p style="text-align:center">* * *</p>



<p style="text-align:center"><strong>Appendix</strong></p>



<p>Leo Frank Gets “Second Look”<br>
(<em>Atlanta Jewish Times</em>, editorial comment added by <em>National Vanguard</em>)</p>



<p>SPEAKING to reporters at the Fulton County Courthouse, former Georgia
 Gov. Roy Barnes [a long-time servant of Jewish interests in Georgia, 
who has uncritically and fanatically pushed for the exoneration of 
Jewish sex-killer Frank — Ed.] credited Rabbi Steve Lebow of Temple Kol 
Emeth with telling him, “There is no statute of limitations on doing the
 right thing.”</p>



<p>Throughout his 33 years at the Marietta synagogue, Lebow has been a 
leading voice in the effort to exonerate Leo Frank for his 1913 murder 
conviction. And in Barnes, he has an influential ally, who persuaded 
Fulton County District Attorney Paul L. Howard, Jr., to bring Frank’s 
case before a newly created “Conviction Integrity Unit.” [That is, 
“Jewish Money and Deal-making Injustice Unit” — Ed.]</p>



<p>Barnes, who will be an adviser to the unit, stood to Howard’s right 
on May 7 as the district attorney explained that the Frank case fit the 
fourth of four criteria for re-examination – cases that are in the 
“interest of justice.”</p>



<p>Among the other cases to be studied is that of Wayne Williams, who 
was convicted in 1982 of killing two men and is serving life sentences 
in the state prison but was suspected by police in nearly two dozen of 
the 1979-81 “missing and murdered children” cases. [Both the “liberal” 
and Black establishments were salivating to convict a White man of these
 murders, and were visibly crestfallen when the killer turned out to be 
Black. A deal has obviously been cut between corrupt Blacks, corrupt 
leftist Whites, and Jews, in which each will get something they want in 
return for acquiescing in framing a long-dead Black man, Jim Conley, for
 the sex killing of Mary Phagan actually committed by B’nai B’rith 
officer Leo Frank. — Ed.]</p>



<p>“The CIU will review cases in which there is new factual, physical, 
or forensic evidence. The unit will also review cases in which there is 
relevant evidence that went untested at the time of trial or some other 
new evidence that a person was wrongly convicted,” Howard said.</p>



<p>He also mentioned that his office has record of the 37 people who, 
according to the Equal Justice Initiative, were lynched in Fulton County
 between 1877 and 1950. [Part of this outrageous, immoral, and illegal 
“deal” may be vague promises that Black lynching victims can be 
“officially exonerated” too. — Ed.]</p>



<p>Frank, an Ivy League-educated Jew from New York, was convicted and 
sentenced to death for the April 26, 1913, strangling death of 
13-year-old Mary Phagan at the downtown Atlanta factory of the National 
Pencil Company, where he was the director. Frank was found guilty in 
large measure based on testimony by Jim Conley, an African American 
janitor at the factory, who, according to a former factory employee who 
came forward in 1982, was seen carrying Phagan’s body. [Which makes no 
difference in Frank’s guilt whatsoever — as this article fails to tell 
you: Conley freely admitted carrying the body <em>at the request of Frank</em>.
 Leo Frank also told Conley he had killed the girl, pretending it was an
 accident and hiding the evidence of strangling from Conley with a piece
 of Mary’s lace undergarments. — Ed.]</p>



<p>Barnes recalled newspaper reports that as jurors walked to the 
courthouse from the Kimball House, where they were sequestered, a mob 
chanted “Hang the Jew or we’ll hang you.” [This is a long-discredited 
hoax, which has been exposed countless times. Nothing like that 
happened, and if it had, Frank’s top-drawer attorneys would have called,
 and called successfully, for an immediate mistrial — which they never 
did. — Ed.]</p>



<p>The Supreme Court of the United States rejected Frank’s appeals, but 
on June 21, 1915, Gov. John Slaton, who had developed doubts about 
Frank’s guilt, commuted the sentence to life in prison. On the night of 
Aug. 16, members of an enraged confederacy of Cobb County men, including
 the grandfather of Barnes’ wife, kidnapped Frank from the state prison 
in Milledgeville and drove him to the woods near Frey’s Gin Road in 
Marietta, where he was hung from a tree in the pre-dawn of Aug. 17.</p>



<p>The Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles posthumously pardoned 
Frank in 1986 but did not exonerate him. A monument to Frank, funded by 
Jerry Klinger, president of the Jewish American Society for Historic 
Preservation, now sits on Roswell Road near Interstate 75, the woods 
having been cleared and built on many years ago.</p>



<p>“There is no doubt in my mind, and we’ll prove it at the appropriate 
time, that Leo Frank was not guilty,” Barnes said. “We can’t right all 
wrongs. However, I think it’s a bad thing if we can never admit we’re 
wrong. This gives us a good view of history to make sure we’ve got it 
right.”</p>



<p>There is no timetable for the CIU’s re-examination of the Frank case,
 in large measure because a director for the unit has not yet been hired
 and funding from the county must be arranged.</p>



<p>Nonetheless, as he left the courthouse after the press conference, Lebow found reason for optimism.</p>



<p>“This is the most confident anybody could be in the last 100 years  that the Frank case will be treated fairly. Justice delayed is justice  denied and it’s been delayed for over 100 years for this guy,” Lebow  said. “If you want to make the future good, you have to make the past  right, and this is an opportunity to make the past right and to heal a  bad part of Georgia’s history.”</p>

<p><em>Death threats to jury claimed by Jews never happened; were invented by Frank partisans years later</em></p>
<p><strong>EDITOR&#8217;S NOTE:</strong> Jews are losing the debate on the Leo Frank case &#8212; the very case that sparked the creation of their &#8220;Anti-Defamation League.&#8221; Due to the efforts of the <a href="http://nationalvanguard.org/?s=%22leo+frank%22&amp;submit.x=0&amp;submit.y=0">National Alliance and its allies</a>, the truth about Frank&#8217;s guilt is all over the &#8216;Net, social media, and respected alternative media.</p>
<p>There is no contemporary source for the claim that mobs threatened the jury with death. No newspaper accounts mention such threats &#8212; and some of the papers were quite pro-Frank &#8212; and the jurymen specifically denied that they experienced any, inside or outside the courtroom. Frank&#8217;s own lawyers never complained of such threats, which surely would have been grounds for an instant mistrial and change of venue &#8212; which they never asked for. The evidence is overwhelming that Frank is guilty.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">* * *</p>
<p>A GROUP OF lawyers and judges led by a rabbi gathered at a synagogue Sunday to say the state of Georgia should exonerate a Jewish businessman who was lynched 100 years ago for a murder they believe he didn&#8217;t commit—and for which they believe he was convicted out of fear of an anti-Semitic mob. (ILLUSTRATION: Former Ga. Supreme Court Justice Leah Ward Sears speaks at the Memorial service for Leo Frank. Sunday August 16, 2015, Kol Emeth Temple, Marietta Ga.)</p>
<p><span id="more-10837"></span></p>
<p>They gathered at Temple Kol Emeth in Marietta, a few miles away from the tree on which Leo Frank died 100 years ago Monday. Prayers were said for the souls of Frank and Mary Phagan, the 13-year-old girl he was accused of killing. The audience of about 400 was asked to sign a petition for Frank&#8217;s exoneration.</p>
<p>&#8220;The rule of law should never be overcome by the rule of the mob,&#8221; said Cobb County Superior Court Chief Judge J. Stephen Schuster, who spoke first and introduced the other speakers, including a prosecutor, two former Georgia Supreme Court justices and a lawyer who led the argument for Frank&#8217;s pardon in the 1980s after a new witness emerged, identifying another man as the killer.</p>
<p>The lawyer who won the pardon, Dale Schwartz of Schwartz Posel in Atlanta, an immigration firm, said he didn&#8217;t believe the Board of Pardons and Paroles would revisit the issue, having declined to rule on guilt or innocence before. The board signed a pardon that was only an acknowledgement that the state failed to protect Frank in the prison from which the lynch mob grabbed him.</p>
<p>&#8220;We would like some official statement from the state of Georgia that Leo Frank is innocent,&#8221; said Schwartz. He said it could come from the Legislature or the governor. &#8220;The history books should be closed with total forgiveness and exoneration of Leo Frank.&#8221;</p>
<p>Leah Ward Sears, a Schiff Hardin partner and retired chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, told the story of the 14 lynch men from Marietta—including lawyers, a judge, a sheriff, a former governor, two former mayors and teachers—who drove all night to the state prison in Milledge­ville to kidnap Frank and bring him back for a morning hanging. She noted the lynch mob was never prosecuted.</p>
<p>Sears said that while it would be nice to think such a thing would not happen again, recent events raise concern about continuing injustice. She mentioned white police officers shooting unarmed black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and North Charleston, South Carolina, and a white supremacist shooting a group of African-American worshipers in a Charleston church.</p>
<p>Former Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Norman Fletcher used the occasion to call not only for the exoneration of Frank but for the abolition of the death penalty.</p>
<p>He lamented the U.S. Supreme Court&#8217;s decision denying Frank&#8217;s appeal. That decision prompted Gov. John Slaton, who believed Frank did not have a fair trial, to commute Frank&#8217;s death sentence to life, leading to Frank&#8217;s lynching.</p>
<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t bring Leo Frank back to life, but we can see to it that he is exonerated,&#8221; Fletcher said. &#8220;And we can end the practice of the state doing the same thing as the accused: taking the life of a human being, created in the image of God.&#8221;</p>
<p>Georgia Assistant Attorney General Van Pearlberg, a former Cobb prosecutor, told the story of Frank&#8217;s trial, which he said was derailed by prejudicial publicity, false testimony and an angry mob outside the courthouse. He quoted Frank defense attorney Reuben Arnold calling the case the &#8220;most horrible prosecution of a Jew since Christ.&#8221; He said the mob would chant to jurors outside their hotel, &#8220;Hang the Jew or we&#8217;ll hang you.&#8221;</p>
<p>The service concluded with a speech from Rabbi Steven Lebow, who has been studying the Frank case since he moved to Marietta 30 years ago. He offered what he called a &#8220;hopeful conclusion&#8221; to the &#8220;horrible deeds and despicable acts&#8221; behind the stories told.</p>
<p>&#8220;It happened in a Georgia that is long gone,&#8221; Lebow said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t live in the old South anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the spirit of the new South, &#8220;we come to demand that Leo Frank&#8217;s name finally be cleared,&#8221; Lebow said. &#8220;How hard can it be?&#8221;</p>
<p>Lebow offered such poetic lines as &#8220;justice is the debt that the present owes the future,&#8221; and &#8220;justice delayed is justice denied.&#8221; He quoted John Lennon and called on the crowd to help him. &#8220;You may say I&#8217;m a dreamer, but what?&#8221; The audience filled in the line with &#8220;but I&#8217;m not the only one.&#8221;</p>
<p>The congregation stood and applauded when Lebow closed with a final call on the state to clear Frank&#8217;s name. &#8220;Nothing more is needed, but nothing less will do,&#8221; the rabbi said. &#8220;You cannot make the future good unless you are willing to make the past right. Where are you?&#8221;</p>
<p>Before leaving, the congregation sang, &#8220;God Bless America.&#8221;</p>
