Re: Your cancellation of invitation to Mayor’s First Voice Conference

You called yesterday and expressed upset because a Jewish newspaper
said
that I spoke at a conference organized by David Irving and another
organized by the Institute for Historical Review. You also said
something not entirely coherent about what you called “holocaust
denial.” About an hour afterwards you emailed me abruptly revoking
Rosemary Emodi’s five months’ old invitation to me to address the First
Voice Conference, on the basis of the concerns transmitted to you by
your Jewish sources. I thought that you were just another overwrought
Jew who sees “antisemites” everywhere, an annoying though partly
explicable phenomenon. Now, however, I discover that you are that most
singular of phenomena, to wit a black talking head for Jewish
ventriloquism. I addressed the first abovementioned conference on the
Jewish role in the African slave trade, a topic that overwrought Jews
consider ipso facto antisemitic. I addressed the other on the tactics
of
organized Jewry against persons like myself who they disagree with.

Organized Jewry, speaking through you, has defined the organizers of
both these conferences as antisemitic and, as affirmed in your email,
they have defined me as antisemitic for accepting their invitations.
This kind of reasoning would also make me a talking head for
overwrought
Jews for my willingness to speak at your conference.

I hope that someday you will become as diligent in the knowledge of
your
own history as you now appear to be in mindlessly parroting the
misconceptions of others. Then maybe you will interrogate your handlers
on the following questions, among many others ?

- the anti-Black sentiments found in some Jewish publications -- e.g.
The Jewish Press (Brooklyn, New York), whose Professor Howard Adelson
called Africana Studies a “fraudulent” enterprise. - Jewish Professor
Michael Levin who went to court in New York to affirm his right to
teach
students that Black people are inferior. (Perhaps he’ll make an
exception for you.) - The “holocaust denial” of Jewish historians who
have made careers out of minimizing estimates of African deaths during
the slave trade. - The Babylonian Talmud’s invention of the Hamitic
Myth, whereby God supposedly cursed Black people with dark skin,
bulging
eyes and huge genitals and relegated them to be the slaves of others
for
eternity. Millions of your African forebears lost their lives in the
slave trade on the strength of this pretext for enslaving them. They
must be turning in their graves now to behold your antics.

You can find documentation for all this in my book, The Jewish
Onslaught: Despatches from the Wellesley Battlefront.

Your thoughtless transmission of allegations of antisemitism is both
libellous and incongruous. I wonder what usefulness someone so out of
sympathy with his own community can be as a representative of that
community to the mayor’s office.

Dear Professor Martin,

Thank you for taking the time to speak to me today. Having confirmed
with you that you attended and spoke at David Irving's 'Real History
Conference' in 2001 and the Institute for Historical Review's annual
conference in 2002 and that both of these conferences included speakers
known for their anti-Semitic and racist activities including Holocaust
denial, the Mayor's Office has decided to withdraw its invitation to
you
to address the First Voice conference on Saturday 25 October.

The appearance of a close association between yourself and extreme
right
wing academics and organisations at these conferences has left the
Mayor's Office with no alternative but to withdraw its invitation.

It is with some regret that I write this email, because of your obvious
expertise in relation to the life and works of Marcus Garvey.

Yours sincerely

Lee Jasper Policy Director (Equalities and Policing) Mayor's Office
