1994: The Clinton administration reinstalls Haitian Communist and terrorist Jean-Bertrand Aristide, touted as an enlightened proponent of "democracy," as ruler of the island. After being ousted again in one of the Black nation's innumerable coups, Aristide, while on a well-funded 1997 speaking tour of American universities, refused to answer when questioned by National Alliance leader William White Williams on the Great Haitian Democrat's use of necklacing (murdering by placing a burning tire around the victim's throat) against his political opponents.

An effective encounter with the wall-eyed former president of the nigger mess in Haiti, as described by Dr. Pierce as an example of creative activism for other Alliance members to take advantage of and follow: https://nationalvanguard.org/2019/01/le ... r-founder/

Using Other People's Meetings

...We don’t have the Jews’ numbers or resources — such as the use of their Black auxiliaries for the physical intimidation of opponents, friendly media to report our activities, or unlimited funds for bail bonds in the event of arrests — but hostile participation in other people’s public or semi-public meetings nevertheless can be an effective activity for those of our members who are able to handle public confrontations well. A recent example illustrates this.

Aristide
On October 20 Jean-Bertand Aristide, the Clintonistas’ former puppet president of Haiti, was the invited speaker at a lecture on poverty at the University of North Carolina. The lecture was held in the university’s Memorial Hall on the Chapel Hill campus and was attended by approximately 2,000 persons, most of them Clintonistas, trendy airheads, or media representatives, but there also were a number of interested students in the audience. Two Alliance members also attended: North Carolina Regional Coordinator Will Williams and Raleigh Local Unit Coordinator Kent Hansen.

Williams
At the end of Aristide’s lecture there was a question-and-answer period, and Will Williams rose to ask two questions. He asked Aristide to explain exactly what the term “necklacing” means. Aristide declined to answer, and then Mr. Williams read from an article (“Bringing Democracy to Haiti”) in the November-December 1994 issue of National Vanguard a quote from a 1991 speech in Port-au-Prince by Aristide in which he explicitly urged his followers to “necklace” his political opponents: “f you see a faker who pretends to be one of our supporters… just grab him. Make sure he gets what he deserves… with the tool you have now in your hands, the ‘necklace.’… You have the right tool in your hands… the right instrument. What a beautiful tool we have! What a nice instrument! It is nice, it is chic, it is classy, elegant and snappy. It smells good, and wherever you go you want to smell it.”

After reading this quote in full Mr. Williams then reminded Aristide that dozens of his opponents were in fact “necklaced” after his 1991 speech. At this point the moderator cut off Mr. Williams’ microphone, but he shouted out the second question: “Please, Mr. President, tell the audience exactly what is ‘necklacing’ and whether or not you said these words.” Aristide again refused to answer, and this ended the question-and-answer period (and the event).

Many students gathered around Mr. Williams and Mr. Hansen as the audience left the lecture, and they were handed xeroxed copies of the National Vanguard article from which Mr. Williams had quoted. A contact address and telephone number, as well as the Alliance’s Internet address and the times and frequencies for American Dissident Voices broadcasts, were stamped on each copy. Several lively conversations developed. One professor [fluent in Aristide’s Creole language] approached Mr. Williams and told him he had a recording of the speech Aristide had given in 1991 and recognized the part which had been quoted.

Although the local newspaper, the Raleigh News and Observer, carried a lengthy report of the lecture, it dealt in a cursory manner with the opposition to Aristide, mentioning neither Mr. Williams nor the Alliance by name: “The evening wasn’t without controversy… During a question-and-answer session, two people confronted Aristide with accusations that his supporters ‘necklaced’ people who opposed him.”

Of course, members should never waste their time heckling a speaker or attempting to disrupt a meeting unless they have planned the activity carefully in advance, prepared themselves to utilize the opportunity fully (as Will Williams and Kent Hansen did), by supplying themselves with copies of the National Vanguard article on Aristide), and can reasonably hope to gain some advantage for the Alliance. Such activity should never be undertaken merely to make our enemies uncomfortable or to amuse ourselves.
