Tennessee: White Supremacist Terrorist Pleads Guilty — Mass Murder Terror Plot – Paul Schlesselman
The U.S. Department of Justice reported today that white supremacist terrorist Paul Schlesselman “admitted to conspiring to murder dozens of people, with a focus on murdering African-Americans. He further acknowledged that he intended to culminate his killing spree by assassinating then-Senator Barack Obama, who was a presidential candidate at the time.”
Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has been reporting on the Paul Schlesselman/Daniel Cowart plot in October 2008 to murder 88 people and also to kill Barack Obama. According to the October 24, 2008 federal affidavit in this case, “Each individual claims to have very strong beliefs and views regarding ‘White Power’ and ‘Skinhead’ views.
The individuals began discussing going on a ‘killing spree’ that included killing 88 people and beheading 14 African Americans.” The number 88 is significant for Nazi white supremacists as representing the symbols HH, as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. It is their code for “Heil Hitler.” The number 14 has a similar significance for two white supremacist 14-word slogans (ADL, additional reports).
The affidavit also states “while driving around Cowart and Schlesselman observed a church and decide to shoot a window out.” The affidavit identifies the target as the Beech Grove Church of Christ in Brownsville, Tennessee.
Regarding the January 14, 2010 guilty plea by Paul Schlesselman, the DOJ press release continues:
“The Department of Justice today announced that Paul Schlesselman pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, one count of threatening to kill and inflict bodily harm upon a presidential candidate, and one count of possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Schlesselman faces a sentence of 10 years under the plea agreement. A sentencing date of April 15, 2010, was set by Judge J. Daniel Breen, who is presiding over the case in Jackson, Tenn.”
“Schlesselman admitted that beginning on or about Sept. 1, 2008, and continuing until Oct. 22, 2008, he conspired to transport firearms and ammunition in interstate commerce, steal firearms from a licensed firearms dealer and transport in interstate commerce a short-barreled shotgun, all for the purpose of committing murders, robberies and burglaries.”
“Schlesselman further acknowledged that on Oct. 20, 2008, he unlawfully transported an unregistered short barreled shotgun and a .357 magnum caliber handgun across state lines for the purpose of committing felonies, including racially targeted murders.”
“Schlesselman also admitted that on Oct. 23, 2008, he threatened to kill and inflict bodily harm on President Barack Obama, who was a presidential candidate at the time.”
The Memphis Commercial Appeal also reports on this story “‘Skinhead’ pleads guilty to conspiring to kill black people, threatening Obama,” stating that “”He was arrested on Oct. 22, 2008, with Daniel Cowart of Bells, Tenn. Authorities said the two men, who espouse “skinhead” and “white power” philosophies, were planning a cross-country killing spree when they were picked up in Crockett County, Tenn., where Cowart lived with his grandparents…. Cowart, who is 21, remains in custody pending a hearing Feb. 22.'”
Paul Schlesselman’s co-conspirator Daniel Cowart has been linked to the Nazi organization “Supreme White Alliance (SWA),” and has been photographed at an “Adolf Hitler Birthday Party” with SWA members; Cowart has also been listed as a member of the Stormfront Nazi organization, according to CBS News.
In October 2008, CBS reported that “federal investigators announced the arrests of 20-year-old Daniel Cowart of Bells, Tenn., and 18-year-old Paul Schlesselman of West Helena, Ark., who were driving around in a car painted with swastikas and other white supremacist slogans while in possession of five stolen guns.” CBS also reported that “On his MySpace page, Schlesselman lists his occupation as ‘being racist’ and writes ‘I’m white. I’m proud. I get angry. I like guns. I like weapons. I need money wiggers… be afraid.’ ‘Wiggers’ is a derogatory slang term used to describe a white person who emulates stereotypical mannerisms of African-Americans. He also posted a homemade video on MySpace in which he appears to be mocking ‘wiggers’ and African-Americans.” “He last logged onto his MySpace page on October 20 the same day, investigators say, Cowart traveled from Tennessee to Arkansas to meet with him and begin the alleged killing spree. On that day, Schlesselman listed his mood as ‘creative.’ ” “Schlesselman also lists his cell phone number on his MySpace page. CBS News called the number. His voicemail first plays what sounds like a racist country song. Then, Schlesselman leaves a disturbing rant filled with profanities and racial slurs against African-Americans. He ends the message saying ‘white power.’ ”

Arizona – Noor Almaleki “Honor Killing” – Lawyer for Accused Father Says Prosecutors Should Not “wrongly seek the death penalty against his client because he is a Muslim”
Arizona Republic reports on comments by Attorney Billie Little for Faleh Hassan Almaleki accused of murdering his 20 year old daughter Noor Almaleki in an “honor killing” for not following “traditional Muslim values.”
— “The lawyer for an Iraqi immigrant accused of slaying his daughter in an ‘honor killing’ is asking a judge to take special precautions to ensure the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office doesn’t wrongly seek the death penalty against his client because he is a Muslim.”
— “In a motion filed last week in Maricopa County Superior Court, attorney Billie Little requests that the court force the County Attorney’s Office to make public the process it will use to determine whether to seek the death penalty for his client.”
— “Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, of Glendale, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his 20-year-old daughter, Noor Almaleki.”
— “The elder Almaleki is accused of using his Jeep to run over his daughter and another woman in a Peoria parking lot on Oct. 20. His daughter later died of her injuries.”
— “During a news conference last month, County Attorney Andrew Thomas said his office was still determining whether to seek the death penalty for Almaleki. He called the case ‘tragic,’ saying the county will prosecute Almaleki to the full extent.”
— “Prosecutors have labeled Noor Almaleki’s death an honor killing, saying the elder Almaleki killed his daughter because she disgraced the family by not following traditional Iraqi or Muslim values.”
— “Citing a tie between the case and religious or cultural beliefs, Little is asking Thomas’ office to record or keep transcripts of any meetings used to determine whether it will seek the death penalty for Almaleki.”
— “‘An open process provides some level of assurance that there is no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs,’ Little wrote, referring to Thomas as a Christian.”
— “Mike Scerbo, a spokesman for the County Attorney’s Office, declined to speak about the pending case or the review process that death penalty requests go through.”
Egypt – AINA reports: “Over 100 Coptic Christian Teenagers Arrested in Egypt”
Egypt – AINA reports: “Over 100 Coptic Christian Teenagers Arrested in Egypt”
— “Egyptian State Security has intensified its intimidation of the Coptic Church and Christians in Nag Hammadi, and neighboring Bahgoura, by carrying out random arrests of Christian youth. The campaign against Christians started on Friday January 7, 2010 and is continuing; multiple members of families have been arrested without warrants. Most arrests are being carried at dawn. More than one hundred Christian youth have been arrested without charge.”
— “Arrests of Copts after every sedition is the usual scenario as a pressure card in the hands of State Security to force the church and Copts to accept ‘reconciliation’, in which Coptic victims give up all criminal and civil charges against the perpetrators. Because of the reaction in Egypt and worldwide to the shootings and the role of the State Security, Bishop Kyrollos was asked issue statements downplaying the negligence of State Security. It is believed the arrests of the Coptic youth is a pressure tactic to force him to recant his accusations.”
— “Anwar Samuel, a head teacher from Nag Hammadi, told Freecopts that State Security came to their home at four o’clock in the morning, looking for his nephew Mohareb, who happened to be in Kuwait. ‘Instead they arrested my three other nephews, Fadi, Tanios and Wael Milad Samuel, and took them away in their pajamas.’ He said they have been subjected to electric shocks.”
— “Coptic News Bulletin contacted several families who confirmed that males as young as 16 were taken away by the police. In an aired interviews, affected families told how the Police tricked their sons into going with them, by telling them that Bishop Kyrollos wanted them to do so for their safety.”
— “Habib Tanios was arrested on charges of firing on people who burnt his home in Bahgoura, although he has no rifle.”
— “Families of the arrested Copts congregated all day near police station waiting for news”
— “According to sources close to Freecopts, strict state security instructions were issued to the clergy in the parish of Nag Hamadi, to suppress any move by the Copts affected by the events and the families of those killed, to demonstrate or protest, accompanied by explicit threats that police will be using live ammunition.”
