The Beast Without
Huntington Woods is again the target
of anti-Semitic pamphleting.
JULIE EDGAR SENIOR WRITER
E
arly next month, Michelle
Wilson and Tara Marie
Hopkins are due to appear
in district court to face lit-
tering charges.
The two women, both Detroi-
ters in their mid-20s, were
nabbed by Huntington Woods po-
lice on Sunday, July 13, after a
resident noticed them strewing
racist and anti-Semitic booklets
onto lawns. He blocked their car
with his.
According to Don Cohen of the
Anti-Defamation League, Wilson
is head of the small local chapter
of Church of the Creator, a 24-
year-old national white su-
premacist group. She and
Hopkins were throwing 32-page
booklets onto lawns on Ludlow,
Sherwood and Victoria streets
and had covered at least six
blocks before they were stopped.
In May last year, another
white supremacist organization,
the Eastpointe-based European
American Educational Associa-
tion, blanketed • Huntington
Woods with anti-Semitic and
racist fliers. No arrests were
made.
Church of the Creator, Cohen
said, "pretty much went out of
business when their founder died
a number of years ago, but they
bounced back with a-new leader
out of Illinois. It's a very small
group, but they have a history of
activity that is increasing na-
tionally.
"It seems to be what they gen-
erally do: dropping fliers in neigh-
borhoods with significant Jewish
populations."
The Church recently surfaced
in the media when police raided
a Highland Township home
which served as the headquar-
ters of Resistance Records, a mu-
sic production company that
operates under the aegis of the
Church. The confiscated materi-
als were returned, but the group
is under investigation by the
state for possible sales tax eva-
sion.
When police arrived at the
scene in Huntington Woods just
before 9 a.m. July 13, they con-
fiscated two or three large bags
of the booklets, said Huntington
Woods Public Safety Director
David Danaher.
He said a Huntington Woods
resident saw Wilson and Hopkins
distributing the material, picked
up a booklet and pulled his car in
front of theirs on Sherwood so
they were unable to move.
"It was pretty cut and dried.
We can get them into the system
and probably get their attention,"
Danaher said.
Police arrested two
women for littering.
The women face up to 90 days
in jail or a $500 fine for littering.
The booklet they distributed
bears the title, "FACTS That The
Government and the Media Don't
Want You To Know," and is au-
thored by Rev. Matt Hale, whom
ADL's Cohen describes as the
church's new leader.
After an introduction rife with
ominous predictions about the
economic future of white people,
the document provides evidence,
via alleged quotations from the
Talmud, that Jews may freely
murder gentiles.
"... I believe this point is clear:
The Jews are involved in what
can be called, and indeed has
been called, a conspiracy against
all mankind and will take what-
ever steps they deem necessary
for them to dominate the rest of
the world," Hale writes.
The booklet drags out the ca-
nard that Jews control the media
and lists the CEOs who head up
communications companies.
Warner Music, Hale writes, was
an early promoter of "gangsta
rap," and "helped popularize a
genre whose graphic lyrics ex-
plicitly urge blacks to commit acts
of violence against whites."
Taking his cue from black mil-
itants a la Ennis Farrakhan, Hale
goes on to note that it was "Asi-
atic Jews" who introduced slav-
ery to America.
The rest of the document de-
cries the number of Jews in the
Clinton administration, the
amount of financial aid the Unit-
ed States provides to Israel, the
alleged correlation between ille-
gal immigrants and crime, crimes
perpetrated against whites by
blacks, and the "biological differ-
ences between the races."
Cohen said the ADL will help
organize a community briefing in
Huntington Woods, most likely
as part of the city's speaker se-
ries in the fall. I
Support Group
For Jewish
Women
The Barbara Ann Karmanos
Cancer Institute, in collabora-
tion with Temple Beth El and
Michigan Women Psychologists,
has formed a 12-week thera-
peutic support group for Jewish
women undergoing treatment for
an initial diagnosis of breast can-
cer or who have undergone treat-
ment for an initial diagnosis of
the disease within the past year.
The group will meet 7:30-9:30
Tuesday evenings, beginning
Sept. 2, at the temple.
The purpose of the group will
be to help patients better cope
with all aspects of the cancer ex-
perience as they adjust to their
new life circumstances and to ad-
dress the psychological, social
and physiological changes they
are experiencing.
Interested participants must
commit to the full 12 weeks, be
willing to have a one-on-one
meeting with the therapists to
receive a full description of the
program and be willing to com-
plete a pre- and post-group ques-
tionnaire. There is no charge.
For information, call Pat
Sachs, 1-800-527-6266.
