It’s Getting Mighty Deep in Sussex

Seems as though Sussex County Sheriff Jeff Christopher repeats his lies about his ongoing battle to become the county’s super cop so much that he’s beginning to believe them as truth.

In the latest edition of the American Free Press, Jeffy-pooh claims that Attorney General Beau Biden has stripped him of his powers of arrest.

“Now my deputies and I have been relieved of all arrest powers and can’t even make a traffic stop,” he said.

Jeff, you never had them in the first place.

Sheriff Jeff Christopher of Sussex County, Delaware, when he was elected to the office in 2010, thought he was handpicked by the people to represent them as the highest-ranking law officer in the county. Instead, he has found himself in the middle of a fight for the future of American law enforcement as a result of a nationwide effort to abolish the sheriff’s office altogether.

No you didn’t Jeff. If you did, then you are not only lying to the people of Sussex County, but you’re lying to yourself. Funny how you didn’t mention being the “highest-ranking law officer in the county” on any of your campaign material.

During an interview at the Las Vegas Sheriffs Conference in January, Christopher told AFP that the impotence of his office was brought home to him when he was hit in the eye and kicked by County Councilman Vance Phillips but was unable to arrest him.

Um, this was not a sheriffs conference. This was a group of over-zealous boys with guns who more than likely used taxpayer money to attend a meeting organized by the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. This is not a recognized group of law enforcement officials by anyone other than Sheriff Mack (the founder of CSPOA) and the attendees. And Jeff, you lied about what happened during that “altercation” with Vance Phillips. Hell, even the two witnesses wouldn’t back up your claims about being kicked and stomped on.

So what about this news story. The AFP is the bastard child of the The Spotlight, and was founded by Willis Carto, who was the founder of the Liberty Lobby. Let’s see what this group was all about, shall we?

Liberty Lobby was the subject of much criticism from all quarters of the political spectrum from the first day of its founding. Liberty Lobby described itself as a conservative political organization, but its founder, Willis Carto, was known to hold strongly antisemitic views, and to be a devotee of the writings of Francis Parker Yockey, who was one of a handful of esoteric post-World War II writers who revered Adolf Hitler. Yockey, writing under the pseudonym of Ulick Varange, wrote a book entitled Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics, which Willis Carto adopted as his own guiding ideology.

Many critics, including disgruntled former Carto associates as well as the Anti-Defamation League (a group that fights antisemitism and Holocaust denial), have noted that Willis Carto, more than anybody else, was responsible for keeping organized antisemitism alive as a viable political movement during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, when it was otherwise completely discredited.

Evidence for the antisemitic stance of Liberty Lobby began to mount when numerous letters by Carto excoriating the Jews (and blaming them for world miseries) began to surface. “How could the West [have] been so blind. It was the Jews and their lies that blinded the West as to what Germany was doing. Hitler’s defeat was the defeat of Europe and America.” Carto’s letters eventually became the subject of a federal civil lawsuit (LIBERTY LOBBY, INC., et al., Appellants, v. Drew PEARSON et al., Appellees. No. 20690. United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit provides an accurate account of the case – bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F2/390/390.F2d.489.20690_1.html.) Liberty Lobby ultimately lost in the United States Supreme Court with a denial of certiorari.

Other cited evidence of the group’s antisemitic views includes the charge that the group’s file cabinets contained extensive pro-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan literature. In 1969, True magazine ran a story by Joe Trento entitled “How Nazi Nut Power Has Invaded Capitol Hill”.

But wait, there’s more!

Starting in October 1966 two American journalists, Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson, published a series of stories under “The Washington Merry-go-round” that recounted the findings of a former employee, Jeremy Horne.[4] Horne said he had discovered a box of correspondence between Carto and numerous government officials establishing the Joint Council of Repatriation (JCR), a forerunner organization to the Liberty Lobby. The JCR stated that their fundamental purpose was to “repatriate” blacks “back to Africa”. Ex-Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Tom Brady and various members of the White Citizens’ Councils who had worked to established the JCR, also contributed to the founding of Liberty Lobby. Other correspondence referred to U.S. Congressional support for the emerging Liberty Lobby, such as from South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond (Dixiecrat presidential candidate in 1948) and California U.S. Representative James B. Utt.

So not only does Jeff Christopher associate with people who view the Federal government as terrorists, he gives interviews to on-line “newspapers” that have a history of both anti-Semitism and wanting to send all of the country’s Blacks back to Africa.

Really nice, Jeff. Looks like you got some ‘splainin’ to do.
