[Fwd: Populism, Southern Fried with a Newmanite, Fulaniite, PJB Glaze]

About 15 years ago the New Alliance Party sued Charles Tisdale, publisher of 
the Jackson Advocate (weekly newspaper serving Jackson's black community) and 
myself for two million dollars after the paper published a series of articles 
I wrote about the Newman cult, which was trying to build a base in 
Mississippi. We exposed Fred Newman's funding by the military at a time he 
professed to be an anti-war activist, his organization's phony left but 
racist lunacies of the sixties, their merger with Lyndon LaRouche's National 
Caucus of Labor Committees which they continued to support politically even 
after leaving, and their cultish authoritarianism. Although we could have had 
the case dismissed on a summary judgment motion, we allowed and pursued full 
discovery, tried the case on the facts, and won. NAP's Mississippi attorney, 
confronted with my huge file of their publications, remarked to one of their 
national leaders, "It looks like he knows more about your organization than 
you do."
