About 1972 I chanced upon a book-shop in Pompano Beach, Florida. I was startled by the owner's audacity. There in the show-window, featured among many right-wing publications, was a Mein Kamph display with Nazi flags carefully arranged around it. I walked inside and there for the first time I met Ben Klassen.
Ben was brilliant, learned, holder of a lucrative patent, brimming with ideas, and about to write a book ( later titled: The Whiteman's Bible).. Thereafter, I met with him from time to time . I met his wife, an attractive lady, and I met several of his friends.
My plans took me to California in 1974. I built a house there which was torched by Jews . My family and I escaped by the skin of our teeth.
We returned to the east coast. Klassen invited me to be his house guest. I drove down to Otto and stayed three days. He and his wife were good hosts. They were affectionate toward one another. He showed me photographs of his mother and father, Mennonites, of German extraction - Aryans, no doubt about that. They had been badly treated by Jews in Estonia (?) following WWI.
Ben, as most well informed free-thinkers, despised The Old and New Testaments as Israeli plots to destroy Gentiles. His arguments were referenced and convincing.
We had our meals at a local restaurant where the staff treated Ben and his wife as visiting royalty . To make a long story short, Ben asked me to join his Church. I would be his next in command and he offered a reasonable salary for that kind of endeavor. I refused because I felt (then) that his ideology divided the White Race along religious lines at the very moment we needed unity. My targets were the FED and the Media.
During the time period that I personally knew Klassen he didn't behave like a fag ( as his detractors alledge); nor did I take him, his wife and family for anything but Aryans.
Following my attempt to place the FED Board of Governors under citizens-arrest I was imprisoned for 6.5-years and lost touch with Klassen. After shedding my shackles in 1989, I spoke to Ben several times over the tele. He had no idea that I had been in prison because RW-leaders "buried me" as too politically-incorrect to associate with. My trial, was not mentioned in their publications or discussed at their meetings.(see:FED CAPERS at my website).
Ben asked me to paint his portrait which I did (see Klassen web-site) in exchanged for his remarkable set of books. Ben telephoned me after his wife died. He was very despondent. However, he felt they would be re-united in a spiritual-dimension - an aberration of his "book" philosophy . We discussed a recruitment plan he had in mind.
Most Professional Patriots, not wanting to offend Christian donators, profess a totally different take on Ben Klassen et famille than I do. I believe Ben was an Aryan genius, straight, far ahead of his time, dwarfing those who vilify him. I believe he was murdered.
