"Let's get the British bastard!"
How emails from a badly leaking laptop scuppered the violent plans of
the traditional enemies of Free Speech in Colorado
DENVER Jewess Sara Salzman was the brain behind plans for the
disruption of Mr Irving's December 22, 2003 visit to the city.
In doing so, she risked federal prosecution for conspiring to violate
the civil rights of his audience. As a Holocaust professional and
webmaster (she has claimed that her Holocaust website gets Six
Million
"hits" each month) she expected to get away with it.
Her gang laid plans in several directions. All failed. One of the
earlier, less violent projects was to infiltrate into the audience
her
husband, whom she described as a big -- i.e., obese -- man, and have
him purchase an Irving book; he would then produce the cancelled
check
to claim that the British historian was "violating his visa status."
Her computer records show that she sent over fifty emails to Denver
Jewish groups asking for sup****t.
Most responded cautiously, asking what Abe Foxman's Anti-Defamation
League was doing about the visit.
The answer was, nothing. The ADL had burnt its fingers badly when it
authorized illegal wiretaps on a Colorado couple and publicly smeared
them as anti-Semites.
A Denver court ordered the ADL to pay $9.75 million in libel damages;
the organisation's appeal was dismissed in April 2003. Even for an
organization as wealthy as the ADL (annual budget, $50 million) that
kind of award hurts.
They were not keen to fetch Salzman's chestnuts out of the fire, if
she deliberately provoked trouble in Denver.
Sara's chief accomplice was a former New York City cop and jailer,
Rich Miller.
She emailed him frequent updates on the plan, with headings like: "T-
minus 13 days to Irving." The ex-cop would reply to her, "All is
going
well at my end."
To journalist Dani Newsum, who had written a particularly nasty OpEd
piece in the Denver Post headed "NAZI SWILL, COMING SOON," Sara also
fed this information:
We've got a minimum of ninety people who will be demonstrating in
front of the (as-yet-undisclosed) location. If anyone has any media
contacts, especially with the local TV stations or Fox, please let me
know. I will be working this week on contacting various media folks.
I'd especially like to reach Peter Boyles at KHOW and Enid Goldstein
at KNRC (radio), and anyone at the TV stations."
As the organised efforts to undermine Mr Irving's lecture tour -- on
the comparisons between World War II and the war in Iraq -- began to
bite, from Las Vegas onwards, Salzman gloated:
Good news from the front lines: Irving was supposed to speak in
Seattle on Monday night. He announced the location, the Pyramid
Brewery, and one of the members of Holocaust Project wrote a letter
to
the location.
Showing where she expected most of her sup****t to come from, Salzman
left stacks of pamphlets at Denver's Jewish gift shops.
On December 15, with five days to go, her leaky laptop received this
message from her ex-cop friend, announcing that he and his squad
would
be ready for action on Saturday. They were evidently expecting
violence:
Things are warm and heating up quickly. We are prepared and ready for
the event on Saturday. Our group of four will be equipped with
cameras, signs, FirstAid supplies, water, and snacks.
WORRIED about what she called "a mole in her ranks," that day the
Holocaust-obsessed Sara had another mole -- "Michael Wilde" -- send
this message to Mr Irving:
I saw the article in Westword magazine and I'm real interested in
hearing your talk. We read about the Holocaust in school, but I can't
believe all the stuff we were told. Will you be saying anything about
it?
Wilde's application failed to make the genuine guest list for Denver,
because it failed certain criteria. Sara's keyboard handiwork
confirmed this decision.
("In cases like these," Mr Irving proposed to the Denver organizer,
"we find the address of a gay bar and send the suspects to wait there
all evening.")
Mr Irving sent "Wilde" a standard reply, but added that he was not
talking about the Holocaust, and had never written about it.
No matter. Irving had to be silenced. Sara hammered out this message
on her keyboard to her conspirators: "We're in the loop." (She added
a
surly comment: "Interesting that Mr. Irving can afford a tollfree
cell
phone number in US.")
Meanwhile she sent a wad of leaflets to the Denver TV and radio
stations, her fingers busily typing out more lying smears on her
****ous keyboard:
David Irving, an anti-American [sic], anti-Semitic, Holocaust denier,
will be speaking here, and there will be a group protesting his
visit.
Information about this protest has been re****ted in Dani Newsum's
Blog
'Nazi Swill is coming to town'.
Unfortunately, Mr. Irving (to reduce the possibility of press
coverage
[sic]) will not announce the location of his talk until a day or two
before.
Risking a final libellous smear, Salzman added:
David Irving's followers are the same kinds of people as those who
killed Alan Berg. It's vital that we let him know he is not welcome
in
Denver. Sara Salzman 303-617-9412.
Meanwhile she had learned from "Michael Wilde" that he had asked Mr
Irving by email: "Do you have a place yet for your talk?" To their
delight, the author had answered ("currently on the road in Wyoming")
-- less than frankly, as it would turn out -- "Yes, north Denver, and
you will be informed later today."
That confirmed what they already "knew," because he had a inserted a
fake line to that effect at the end of the Moscow Daily News re****t
posted on his website, namely that he would be speaking somewhere
near
the new Denver International Air****t.
IT WAS now D-Day minus 1 -- Friday, December 19, 2003. Sara Salzman
typed this re****t at 11:16 a.m.:
Irving has posted an article on his web site. . . The last sentence
says: 'Irving speaks at a hotel near Denver air****t on Saturday.'
If anyone wants to start calling hotels near the air****t and ask if
someone with the initials "A.H." has booked a conference room for a
meal and lecture, please feel free! Sara."
She received confirmation from a fellow plotter that the most recent
update was "somewhere near the air****t."
She congratulated him: "We're getting closer. My husband is going to
call Irving's cell phone after 3:00 p.m. today."
Mr Irving's phone registered an incoming "no caller ID" call at 3:10
p.m. -- but the call did not reach him in Wyoming. She and her
plotters had to rely on their wits, and on her leaky laptop.
Late on that Friday evening, Mr Irving sealed the Denver plotters'
fate with this message to their mole "Michael Wilde":
Here is tomorrow Saturday's location by email: please keep it under
your hat. Tell no-one. We have booked a room at the Denver
International Air****t Marriott (the actual address, if you're coming
by taxi, is 16455 East 40th Circle).
The Marriott Corp have never let us down yet (as you know we have
just
held our fourth international Real History weekend at their
Cincinnati
air****t location) so they don't bow to pressure.
We have asked the hotel to deny any afternoon function taking place.
The booking is under a less than obvious name, as you will see when
you arrive.
I suggest you come between twelve and one, when I shall arrive; we'll
have a meal and then I will talk. Looking forward to seeing y'all
there.
At 1:35 a.m. Sara sat at her lap-top and hammered out a new message
to
her gang. She quoted Irving's message to "Wilde," then finalized
their
plans:
So here's what I suggest: We all meet in the parking lot of the
Marriott. Since Irving isn't going to be there until one, we don't
want to clue him in too early. So let's meet around 11:15-11:30.
Our person taking pictures will have to be in the lobby of the hotel,
since lots of other people will be coming and going. One of us will
go
in and scope it out, figure out which "room" Irving has rented (my
guess is under a name with the initials A.H.), and then our
photographer can stake out a place to take pictures that isn't too
obvious . . . otherwise the hotel will toss us.
Referring to the ex-cop Rich Miller, she suggested: "Rich, I'm sure,
can fill us in on what's 'legal' to do. . . . Let's get the British
bastard!! Sara."
She then switched off her laptop, and turned in for the night, while
dreams of sweet violence danced in her head.
At ten on Saturday morning, the big day, she issued final "legal
advice" to her gang, provided by "our legal advisor at the Holocaust
Project," on what to do if they fell foul of the law and whether to
comply with the Marriott's order that they leave:
My own answer to a security guard is 'Call the police and have them
tell me that' and answer that you are 'Exercising your constitutional
rights.'
This puts on record what happened and what is involved.
Second, it puts it in an area where the wimps at the Anti-Defamation
League and the nutballs at the American Civil Liberties Union can, if
either decides to get off their fat asses, intervene in a meaningful
way.
The next day, she and her ("big") husband got "off their asses." When
they downloaded her emails on Saturday morning, ex-cop Rich Miller
had
already sent in his own take on the forthcoming confrontation:
Let us give this racist, Nazi, Hitler lover, and Jew-hater a big
Colorado unwelcome.
The weather will be perfect, the location is ideal, and our cause is
moral. See you all at The Marriott Hotel at approximately 11:30 AM
today. The Marriott Hotel is located off Interstate 70, Exit 285,
Air****t Blvd. North.
If you need better directions, please call the Marriott at
303-371-4333. Please do not mention David Irving. We do not want to
give him a heads up as to what we have planned.-Rich.
