Killen: "NOT GUILTY"

James Stern claims that his former cellmate Edgar Ray Killen gave him the deed to 40 acres of Mississippi land. Killen,


Stern said he and Killen were cellmates from August 2010 to November 2011 at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. Mississippi Department of Corrections spokeswoman Tara Booth said Thursday that Stern and Killen were in individual cells, but they were close to one another.

The Mississippi Department of Corrections said Stern was sentenced to 15 years in 2007 on five counts of wire fraud and was paroled in November 2011.

Stern, who has described himself as an ordained minister, said Thursday that he also owns book and movie rights to the life stories of Killen and Killen's wife. He showed reporters a contract that he says Killen's wife signed giving him full rights to her movie, book and merchandise rights.

Ratliff insists that "Mr. and Mrs. Killen both deny signing over any of these rights to him."

Black man who led neo-Nazi group dies amid bid to destroy it​

Earlier this year, James Stern said that he persuaded the National Socialist Movement's former leader to give him control of the group.

A black activist who took control of one of the nation's largest neo-Nazi groups — and vowed to dismantle it — has died amid a legal fight over who would lead the group.
James Stern died Oct. 11 after getting hospice care for cancer, according to one of his attorneys, Bob Ross, and a friend, Arne Edward List. Stern, 55, died at home in Moreno Valley, California, List said.

"James was a very unconventional crusader SCAMMER," Ross said Monday, praising his client's "quiet confidence."
Earlier this year, Stern told The Associated Press and other news outlets that he persuaded the National Socialist Movement's former leader, Jeff Schoep, to give him control of the group. Schoep says Stern essentially tricked him into the transfer.
Michigan corporate records show Stern replaced Schoep in January. However, Stern sued several group members in March after Schoep signed corporate records naming a different president.
Stern's lawsuit is pending in California court. William Daniels, another of Stern's lawyers, said the activist's death doesn't necessarily end the "full-blown dispute" over the group's leadership.
"But it's just not clear to me now how it's going to unfold," Daniels said.
After members removed his name from corporate records, Stern also filed a complaint with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel in March. The hate crimes unit in Nessel's office was preparing to notify Stern that it didn't find sufficient evidence to file any criminal charges, :ROFLMAO: a spokesman said in an email Monday.
Group members used to attend rallies and protests in full Nazi uniforms, including at a march in Toledo, Ohio, that sparked a riot in 2005. More recently, members attended the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that erupted in violence in August 2017. ORGANIZED GOV'T SCAM HOAX

Stern met Schoep several years ago after Stern invited him to attend a summit on race in California, the Washington Post reported. Both had connections to onetime Ku Klux Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen, who was convicted in the "Mississippi Burning" killings of three civil rights workers.

Stern served a prison sentence for mail fraud at the same facility as Killen, who died in January 2018. In 2012, Stern claimed Killen signed over to him power of attorney and ownership of 40 acres of land while they were in prison together. A lawyer for Killen asked a judge to throw out the land transfer and certify that Killen and his family owned the property.

Before the rally in Charlottesville, Schoep tried to rebrand the group and appeal to a new generation of racists and anti-Semites by getting rid of such overt displays of Nazi symbols.

Earlier this year, Schoep told The Associated Press that Stern essentially tricked him into transferring leadership while the group faces a federal lawsuit over the Charlottesville violence.

Schoep said Stern suggested that the lawsuit's plaintiffs could drop their claims against Schoep and the group if Schoep handed over the reins. Schoep said he already was preparing to walk away from the group and agreed to Stern's proposal in hopes of reducing its legal liability.
"He has that piece of paper, but he is absolutely not recognized as the leader of the National Socialist Movement," Schoep said of Stern in February.
During an interview in March, Stern said he wanted to disband the group rather than see another member re-form it.
"If (Schoep) dissolved the group, all anyone would have to do is take it and reincorporate it and carry on the same shenanigans as it never stopped," Stern said.
His move offered comparisons to the recent Spike Lee movie "BlacKkKlansman" in which a black police officer infiltrates a branch of the Ku Klux Klan.
IF YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT YET, BLACK KKK EXISTS
Schoep recently has told reporters that he renounced white supremacy and will speak out against the hate-fueled beliefs that he spread for years. Schoep left the group in March, his lawyer said in a court filing last month.
The group's website names Burt Colucci as its latest "commander." A leader tried to dissolve the group in Michigan in May, the same month that Colucci incorporated the National Socialist Movement in Winter Garden, Florida, records show.
The lawsuit that Stern filed in California seeks hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. It also asked the court to bar Schoep and others from interfering with Stern's efforts to maintain the group's websites.
A burial service for Stern is planned for Tuesday in Inglewood, and a memorial service is set for Thursday in Moreno Valley, according to List, his friend.
"He fought with such courage LIES in everything he did," List said. "James was very clear that this fight SCAM isn't going to die with him."
 
Stern said he and Killen were cellmates from August 2010 to November 2011 at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. Mississippi Department of Corrections spokeswoman Tara Booth said Thursday that Stern and Killen were in individual cells, but they were close to one another.
Even in prison, equality, forced cruelty of desegregation because of Brown v. Board Edu, they call it progress.
However, after reading the actual Johnson v. California Justia case file, taking into account Killen's alleged history of said murders, him admitting to not wanting to live among violent blacks, there is no way negro Stern would have ever been double celled with Killen in prison.
But, black inmate Johnson claimed every time his location changed, his new cellmate was black, which meant racism. :poop: So now, inmates are slopped together.
edit 11/23/2025: Johnson was in prison for robbery/murder at age 23. He is now 60, whether he was paroled in 2015 or not, he will live in home town of Philadelphia PA.
Garrison Johnson is an African-American inmate in the custody of the CDC. He has been incarcerated since 1987 and, during that time, has been housed at a number of California prison facilities. Fourth Amended Complaint 3, Record, Doc. No. 78. Upon his arrival at Folsom prison in 1987, and each time he was transferred to a new facility thereafter, Johnson was double-celled with another African-American inmate. See ibid.
Johnson filed a complaint pro se in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on February 24, 1995, alleging that the CDC’s reception-center housing policy violated his right to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment by assigning him cellmates on the basis of his race. He alleged that, from 1987 to 1991, former CDC Director James Rowland instituted and enforced an unconstitutional policy of housing inmates according to race.
I keep having this one nagging question, why is it that gov't has never, would never, put rival Native American Indian tribes together on one reservation? It's obvious they'd scheme to kill each other every chance they got.

It is against the backdrop of the rich history of prisoner segregation in the United States, and the recent case of Johnson v. California, that this article examines 40 years of progress toward racial desegregation in prisons and, in particular, the desegregation of prison cells. Prisons were one of the last institutions to be desegregated in American society.

About "James Byrd Jr."
Numerous Jasper citizens spoke up about it being a drug deal gone bad.

Anyone watching this movie [Jasper] needs to know it does not tell the whole story! They try to make the man that was drug to death to be innocent when the fact is that Byrd was an ex con that led a gang in prison that raped the men that drug him to his just due! There are no angels only consequences for demented minds!

Remember the negro who said his civil rights were denied, then he demanded desegregation in prisons, and won his case? I'll revisit that story, but, the untold reason he did it was to allow black inmates access to White men to facilitate the black gang rapes.

Prison Rape - It's No Joke​

By Pat Nolan
September 6, 2002


This article appeared in the Washington Post.

"The opposite of compassion is not hatred, it’s indifference." These words were written by a prisoner who was severely beaten after refusing demands for sex from another inmate.

While often the subject of jokes on late-night TV, prison rape is no laughing matter. It has terrible consequences, not just for the inmates who are brutalized, but for our communities as well. The rate of HIV in prisons today is 10 times higher than in the general population. Every rape in prison can turn a sentence for a nonviolent crime into a death sentence.

819f61d49ca917c4.png

Prison rape leads to other types of death, also. Rodney Hulin set a dumpster on fire in his neighborhood. Despite being only 16 years old, he was sentenced to eight years in an adult prison, where he was repeatedly beaten and raped. Despite his pleas for help, no one in authority intervened to help him. He was told to fend for himself. Depressed and unwilling to face the remainder of his sentence at the mercy of sexual predators, Rodney Hulin committed suicide. Similar suicides have occurred in jails and prisons across the United States.

Experts estimate that at least one in 10 inmates is raped in prison. Because 95 percent of prisoners will eventually be released back into our communities, the horrors that occur inside prison have consequences for the rest of us, too.

Some who suffer through brutal rapes become predators themselves, both in prison and after their release, subjecting other innocent victims to the same degradation that they experienced. Or they vent their rage in other acts of violence, often racially motivated. One example is the tragic story of James Byrd, the black man who was picked up by three white supremacists, beaten, chained to the back of their pickup truck and dragged for three miles to his death. One of his assailants was John William King, a burglar who had recently been released after serving a three-year sentence in one of Texas’ toughest prisons.

When King arrived at the prison, a group of white supremacists reportedly conspired with the guards to place King in the "black" section of the prison. At just 140 pounds, King was unable to defend himself against a group of black prisoners who repeatedly gang-raped him. This was exactly what the white power gang wanted. Filled with hatred, King was easily recruited into their group for protection. Over the remainder of his sentence, they filled King’s head full of hatred for blacks. When he was released, John King unleashed that pent-up hatred on James Byrd. The gang-rapes he endured in prison are no excuse for his murder of James Byrd, but they certainly help us understand what could lead him to hate so much.

How about being a victim of violent blacks?
As troubling as the incidence of rape is, equally disturbing is the attitude of many government officials who are indifferent to it. When asked about prison rape, Massachusetts Department of Correction spokesman Anthony Carnevales said, "Well, that’s prison . . . I don’t know what to tell you." In that offhand remark, he was expressing what many feel in their hearts but are loath to admit—"they deserve it."

But they don’t deserve it. Regardless of the crimes they have committed, no offender’s sentence includes being raped while in the custody of the government. By its very nature, imprisonment means a loss of control over the circumstances in which inmates live. They cannot choose their neighbors ( i.e., their cellmates), nor arm themselves, nor take other steps to protect themselves. Because the government has total control over where and how inmates live, it is the government’s responsibility to make sure they aren’t harmed while in custody.

Sens. Kennedy and Sessions and Reps. Wolf and Scott have teamed up to sponsor the "Prison Rape Reduction Act of 2002," S. 2619 and H.R. 4943, which would establish standards for investigating and eliminating rape, and hold the states accountable if they fail to do so.

Winston Churchill said that the manner in which a society treats criminals "is one of the most unfailing tests of the civilization of any country." As Congress rushes to complete its work before the election recess, it is important that they take the time to deal with the scandal of prison rape, and, in doing so, meet Churchill’s test of a civilized society.

THE PRISON RAPE REDUCTION ACT OF 2002​

A correctional officer’s response to Cindy Strackman-Johnson’s 2000 survey on prison sexual assault in Midwestern Prisons:

The question was “What do you think are some good ways to prevent sexual assault in prisons”?

I see young, good looking, but weak white men coming into the prison. They are being placed in a room with 70 tough, hard black men. They stand no chance of making it 24 hours without being assaulted sexually. 1 feel they need to be housed in separate quarters until they can learn what to do to protect themselves. At my unit-our classification officer deliberately places people in the worse spots so they can be raped. He feels this is part of their punishment and enjoys hearing it happened to them.

Officers see inmates having sex all the time. Most choose to ignore it. Most feel its mutual consent. Most don't understand one inmate could be raping the other one. Officers need to do everything possible to stop it. They don't. At my unit they don't check rooms or showers. Most female officers won't go into the bath/shower area for nothing. They need more training on this subject. They need to open their eyes. I seen a young boy come to the infirmary one night. He was crying. He had been raped. The infirmary personal treated him like dirt. They made him feel like he had asked for it. Like it was his fault 7 black men wanted to be his "friend". He was bleeding. He had been hurt inside badly. They did for him what they legally had to. They never showed any compassion or emotion. They even laughed at him. The boy was patched up and sent back to the barrack he was assigned to. That is where the attack had occurred. It probably happened again during the night. If so he didn't report it again. Why should he bother. About 2 weeks later he cut his wrists. He survived. Mental health said he wasn't crazy so he couldn't stay there. Our unit does have Protective Custody barrack but the boy wanted to go to school and to church. PC doesn't get to. He chose to go back to his assigned barrack. Now 2 months later I see him hanging out with rough looking black men. They have made him their "punk". He gives them sex whenever and however they want it. This is everybodys fault. It doesn't have to be like this. Get some people in the system who will do their job not just get a paycheck. Sure I think some do deserve everything (plus some) that they get. A lot don't.

About "James Byrd Jr."
Anyone watching this movie [Jasper] needs to know it does not tell the whole story!

Both Brewer & King were in the same Texas prison as Byrd. Both were executed.
Brewer said at his execution, that he'd do it all over again, had no remorse.

Brewer’s earlier execution in 2011 was the same year Stern did his dirty work of desegregating prisons.
ALL inmates are tuned in to executions & reasons.


Readers must read about negro Stern who started the final desegregation there in 2011 in prison in Mississippi.

Focusing on a 2005 U.S. Supreme Court case in California, this article examines the history, law, and research on racial desegregation in American prisons.
Abstract
Evidence in this article reveals that California is probably not alone in the racial segregation of inmates, however, the coming years will witness prison systems continuing to deal with the desegregation of prison inmates. A tell-tale indication of the remaining vestiges of racial segregation in prison settings today comes from the U.S. Supreme Court case of Johnson v. California (2005). It represents the culmination of nearly 40 years of the courts dealing with prisoner racial segregation. In this case, the Court held that prisons must operate by the same rules as the wider society when it comes to the use of race; prison managers cannot use race to segregate inmates except under extraordinary circumstances to ensure the safety and security of inmates, staff, and institutions. It is against the backdrop of the rich history of prisoner segregation in the United States, and the recent case of Johnson v. California, that this article examines 40 years of progress toward racial desegregation in prisons and, in particular, the desegregation of prison cells. Prisons were one of the last institutions to be desegregated in American society. In some States, however, race is being used less and less as a factor affecting institutional operations.

BM Byrd and WM King & Brewer was very likely in Texas prison together where King & Brewer were gang raped by blacks, the prison did document the gang rapes for King, otherwise the writer @ DOJ would NOT have known the story to include those specific rape details in the above Pat Nolan's article in Issues in Criminal Justice Reform
In his late teens and early twenties, King was repeatedly incarcerated for various offenses. During one prison term, he claimed he had been violently gang‑raped by several Black inmates—an allegation he repeated during his trial and in personal writings. Whether the assault occurred remains unverified, but the experience allegedly intensified his racial animosity and drove him deeper into extremist ideology.
By the mid‑1990s, King had become deeply immersed in white supremacist prison gangs and propaganda.

murder of James Byrd, Jr.
, killing of James Byrd, Jr., an African American man, on June 7, 1998, in the East Texas town of Jasper.
Byrd was born on May 2, 1949, in Beaumont, Texas, and raised in Jasper. In 1967 Byrd was in the last segregated class to graduate from Jasper’s J.H. Rowe High School before it was consolidated with Jasper High as part of a desegregation plan. He married in 1970 and had three children before divorcing in 1993. Between 1969 and 1996, Byrd was incarcerated several times for various offenses, including theft, forgery, and violation of parole. Byrd was well known around Jasper and could frequently be seen walking about town, as he did not own a car.
