December, 1963. .25
There was a man who stole a continent.
Being cruel as well as greedy, and possessing
power, he enslaved twenty million
of its people, sending them over the ocean
-ten million to the Eastern Hemisphere
and ten million to the Western Hemisphere.

In the process of capturing the twenty

million people whom he sold, eighty million
other people died-some during slave
raids (for when a village was raided, often
the very young and very old and the sick
were killed), some from exposure, disease
and grief during shipment abroad, and
some by suicide at the water's edge or in
transit.
The sale of twenty million human beings
as slaves gave the man hundreds of
millions of treasure. But this was only the
start of his enrichment.
He and his children and grandchildren
and those to whom they sold slaves received
much, much more (many billions
more) through the unpaid labor of whole
generations of slaves. But this, too, was not
at all the end of their enrichment.
After emancipation from chattel slavery,
thousands of millions of additional dollars
were received by the man's children and
3
...

grandchildren and the other former slaveholders,

through a practice of paying the
descendants of slatJes on the average only
one-half the wages received by whites.
(This practice is continued to this day,
made easy because most descendants of
slaves are distinguishable from other people
by their color.)
And so, from these three sources-( 1 )
the sale of slaves, (2) the unpaid labor of
generations of slaves, and (3) the practice
of paying (on the average) a half-wage to
descendants of slaves-there was, over the
years, a tremendous, almost uncountable,
accumulation of wealth.
The quantity of this stupendous treasure
is now so immense that banks in every city
of the land, and underground vaults for the
storage of gold, are required to house and
guard it.
Although this treasure-every penny of
it-has been squeezed from the very hearts
of blacks, absolute control and disposition
of it is in the hands of whites.
And even though an ocean of blood was
spilled by The Man Who Stole a Continent,
and even though agony and heartbreak
for millions of innocents was the
"gift" to humanity of his slaveholder de

4
scendants, and even though the half-wage
system today means poverty and lack of
opportunity and despair and unnecessary
disease and earlier death for millions upon
millions of descendants of slaves right now,
the beneficiaries of this ethically upsidedown
world would not dream of making
restitution to anyone! By failing to do soin
fact by simply refusing to equalize wages
-they are able to stifle the hopes and
crush the aspirations of millions of people.
And because (when wages, or rent, or
interest, or profits or property are concerned)
they have accustomed themselves
to separate Cause from Effect, they see
nothing immoral in their actions. They
can and do establish wage levels for millions
which will not permit the family of
the wage-worker to have proper nutrition;
and then they blame their action on "competition"
or "the market" or "prices"whereas
the legislatures which they control
could establish minimum wage levels at a
level which would make proper nutrition
possible. More: they could, if they wished,
equalize with a federal government check
at the end of each year, every income below
the national average. Or guarantee to
descendants of slaves medical-dental treat

5
r

..
ment equal to that now available to whites.
Or pay reparations to the descendants of
slaves (since the "property" -that is, the
labor, of the slaves was stolen from them) .
But programs to equalize the economic
status of descendants of slaves and the rest
of the population are brushed off as "not
their concern."
The accumulation of this fabulous
wealth made it possible for The Man Who
Stole a Continent and his children and
grandchildren to build railroads and
bridges and tunnels, mines and oil wells
and lumber mills, power plants and office
buildings and factories, farm machinery
and grain siloes and canneries which made
the exploitation of other continents and
other peoples easier.
Besides, all of the favored managers of
these enterprises, and especially the owners
thereof, were able to have many homes,
even palaces, many automobiles, many servants,
and the luxury of jet travel at the
dictate of a whim.
The finest hotels, the most able doctors,
the best office suites, were at their command.

Professors holding degrees from the oldest

universities, research scientists and tech

6
nicians with highly developed skills and
insights and training, were instant to do
their bidding, for each of the man's children
and grandchildren waved a wand of
gold.
But the management and safeguarding
of this immense wealth brought with it
many problems. The mere presence in one
country alone of twenty million descendants
of slaves (to say nothing of one hundred
fifty million other people), greatly
outnumbering the numerically small group
of those who were the inheritors of The
Treasure, was disquieting and at times even
alarming to the children and grandchildren
of the Man Who Stole a Continent, and
their close associates.
To preserve "law and order" and thus
prevent any open challenge to their control
of The Treasure, the children and
grandchildren and their political experts
devised a system of police, courts and prisons,
which dealt with any who stole from
them, or who organized demonstrations or
uprisings against them. Those who organized
revolutions against them were severely
dealt with.
To assist the police, courts and prisons
( especially in periods when criticism of the
7
.J
Administrators of The Treasure was loud) , 1
there were repressive laws and ordinances
and procedures, together with a variety of
oaths that the people were compelled to
swear to, investigating committees, and
threats of job-loss for the more vocal or
active critics.
Worried by the extent, the sharpness
and the accuracy of criticism, and by the
persistence and ingenuity of the critics, the
children and grandchildren of The Man
Who Stole a Continent quietly prepared
concentration camps in the mountains and
deserts at out-of-the-way places. These
were for the forcible detention of any
large-scale protesting groups which might
get out-of-hand. In preparation for such
eventualities, dogs were trained by police
in scores of cities, and practice use of these
dogs was resorted to in breaking up local
demonstrations.
All of the people who served the interests
of the Administrators of The Treasure,
including all those who did a variety of
public duties necessary for the operation of
a large and complex society, were called
"public servants."
No less than two million "public servants"
were on the payrolls in a single
country, the main headquarters country of
the Administrators. And since the descendants
of The Man Who Stole a Continent
were too smart and clever to payout of
their own pockets the wages of this huge
army of civil and military "servants," they
proposed an "income tax" through which
(by the simple device of withholding
wages) they were able to take money every
day from the pockets of every worker in
the land; thus the burden 'of paying the
vast army of civil and military "servants"
fell not on those who "owned" and controlled
The Treasure, but on the ordinary
man and woman, already overburdened
with living expenses. Yet it was they, the
"owners," the Administtators of The Treasure,
whose pocket-picking system was
watched over and cared for by courts and
police; it was they who were the chief beneficiaries
of the complex operations carried
on by the two million "public servants."
Without these servants they ·could not
have carried on for a day the huge job of
distributing the products of their factories;
managing credit, monthly billings, advertising
mailings; keeping up the roads,
patrolling them; guarding warehouses; collecting
customs duties, and so on. The
8 9
Administrators preferred to have all these
services paid for mainly by someone other
than themselves.
Because rubber was needed from the
tropics for automobile and truck tires; and
vegetable oils were needed for soaps and
cosmetics; and gold and diamonds were
needed for adornment and for industry;
and uranium was needed for the making
of atom bombs, free access by The Administrators
to the resources of the world was
a key need of the Top Brass.
Therefore, systems of international law,
including treaties, agreements, conferences,
world courts and world forums for the expression
of opinion, had to be devised. But
since the gentlemen and ladies of the Top
Bracket were unable to rely on instant
obedience from such bodies (which often
included even relatives of those killed in
the original slave raids), the Administrators
had several armies, navies and air commands
under their absolute control.
But these bodies were often used on
loan, asit were, to the government or sovereigns
of other countries, to enable those
countries or sovereigns to crush and hold
in check those who did not wish to be mere
appendages of another power.
Special bodies of armed men, called
"Guards," were used to reinforce local police
bodies in keeping "law and order"
( that is, in repressing demonstrations
against The Establishment). "Force and
violence" was decried; except that an unlimited
amount of "force and violence"
could be used, and was used, by representatives
of The Administrators. That also
made it nice for The Administrators, for
all the force was on one side-their side.
The Man Who Stole a Continent was
sanctimonious.
It had been his practice to carry a Bible
in one hand and a Gun in the other. His
descendants learned this lesson well; but
desiring to avoid direct use of force wherever
possible, they early saw to it that the
churches and the schools were used to promulgate
value systems that (once they
were in the minds of the ruled) would
tend to discourage any seriou~ challenging
of The Establishment's ways of doing
things.
Everything tending to develop blindness
to one's own best interests was encouraged
through these channels. Meekness was
praised. The virtues of being a good servant
were extolled. Obedience to authority, re

10 11
r

gardless of whether that authority was honest,

or good, or humane, was presented as
a Great Virtue; and conversely, those who
challenged authority were labelled
"Trouble-makers," "Subversives," and
"Reds"-even though many of those who
cbllenged authority quite obviously were
blacks, and many who sought redress of
grievances quite obviously were trying hard
to avoid causing "trouble" by teaching
their followers the techniques of nonviolence.

But it was not alone in the worlds of

ethics and politics that The Establishment
was supreme.
People were taught to eat food that had
been poisoned by deadly sprays; they were
constantly urged to smoke cigarettes in the
face of scientific evidence . that smokers
much more frequently than non-smokers
get lung cancer; they were propagandized
into. thinking that drinking stupefying
liquors was socially the thing to do; and
they were encouraged to get into needless
debt, thus making them work and study
and plan on how to get out of debt instead
of on how to achieve a 1'ational society
functioning in the interests of humanity.
Most important of all, people were
12
taught to take into their minds ideas and
concepts poisoned by prejudice, hatred, suspicion,
fear and doubt. For with every
passing decade it had become more and
more obvious to the children and grandchildren
of The Man Who Stole a Continent
that such attitudes and moods among
the people was the best possible means of
preventing the descendants of the slaves
(as well as the poorer whites) from uniting
against their oppressors.
And so, on a street named after an early
President, hundreds upon hundreds of
offices worked the clock around, and from
â ¢
season to season and year to year, setting
region against region, city groups against
people from the countryside, men against
women, children against their elders, black
against white, and each national group
against the descendants of other national
groups. The, foreign born were pitted
against the native born, unorganized labor
against organized labor, and the educa~ed
against the uneducated. Even those who
lived on one side of the railroad tracks were
taught to hate and fear those who lived on
the other side.
Films, radio and television with subtleness
insinuated these concepts into their
13
product; fashion and society enforced
them; almost every social organization was
encouraged to have its own "standards" by
which all but a minute proportion of the
population would be excluded.
l'he purpose of all this was to fragment
society, to encourage division, to prevent
the ordinary people from achieving unity;
for The Establishment correctly perceived
that unity down below would mean a
speedy end to The Establishment's ability
to deceive, and hence to rule; hence, an end
to The Establishment itself, and the beginning
of rational cooperation instead of
selfish greed as the motivating force in
government.
The school and church promulgators of
the value system of the Power Structure
were especially sensitive to certain words.
Advocates of "socialism" or "communism"
automatically became social lepers .. And
those who wished merely to have an honest
debate on the merits of such systems versus
the "enterprise" system of The Power
Structure, became economic outcasts. Although
the postal system and certain largescale
electrification projects were examples
of the value of public ownership of certain
services, advocacy of "nationalization" of
banks or railways or insurance companies
was regarded as near-treason, and such advocates
could hold no job in any bank,
railway or insurance company.
Because the children and grandchildren
of The Man Who Stole a Continent had
the requisite money and power, they were
able to retain control over the policies of
newspapers, magazines, television stations,
radio programs and other media useful in
creating and shaping public opinion.
They did this in various ways, such as
by outright stock ownership, by loans, by
advertising, by licenses, sources of paper,
sources of talent, monopoly of channels,
etc.
Through blacklists, loyalty checks and
other devices for pe.rsonnel control, serious
critics of The Order were eliminated.
Through campaign gifts to both parties,
the Top Bracket people always had plenty
of spokesmen in the highest law-making
bodies, and usually sent one of their own
number to sit in the seat of highest power
in the government.
A Senator from one of the Dakotas, for
instance, could sit in the Senate for life
simply through being backed by one of the
main families of The Establishment. It was
14 15
very nice for the politicians, who showed
their deep gratitude by voting as The Establishment
wished on all key measures; The
Establishment showed its gratitude by
allowing them all the latitude, all the
"personal freedom" they wished regarding
lesser legislation.
In emergencies, highly "controversial"
(i.e., critical) bills could be "lost in committee"
or could be "filibustered" to death.
New "studies" of civil rights violations
could be made; new "reports" could be
awaited as excuses for postponing action.
By such measures, by such devices and
procedures and strategems, the children
and grandchildren of The Man Who Stole
a Continent were able to keep everybody
"in line."
Well, almost everybody.
For with the passage of time, new generations
of people had arisen on The Continent
That Had Been Stolen. They were
needed by The Establishment to work in
the mines, to tend the plantations, to run
the railroads and man the hydroelectric
plants that The Establishment "owned"
(that is, purchased with their inheritance
from the robberies committed by The
r
Man Who Stole a Continent).
16
But those in the diamond mines grew
\
iJ weary of digging and grubbing for, and
) finding, diamonds that they and their
women could never wear; and those in the
gold mines became bitter about handing
the gold they dug to their employers and
getting dust and dirt in wages while the
owners lived in palaces.
In the central part of the Continent,
those who worke.d in the rubber plantations,
recalling the days when the hands of
children were cut off because they did not
bring in enough rubber, and discontented
with their current wages, decided to establish
a government of their own, and did.
1
, /;
In the northern ~part of the Continent,
those who worked in the oilfields of one
of the biggest countries of that area, cut
off the flow of oil to The Power Structure,
took up arms, and in a few years won
internal self-rule -fighting during those
years against the biggest and best-equipped
armies the children and grandchildren of
The Man Who Stole a Continent could
send against them.
In near-pamc, the Power Structure
began to devise "formulas" for independence
that would permit them (The Establishment)
to retain indirect control.
17
"If you will let us keep the portfolios
of Foreign Relations, and Defense, and
Finance, we will give you all else," they
argued. Many who listened to their talk
thought "half a loaf is better than no
bread," and these people agreed to accept
a sort of half-rule.
"Let us be Partners," said the spokesmen
of one of the National Branches of the
,I Power Structure -addressing national
groups under their domination. "Let us
call ourselves a Community, and be happy
together." And so many of the countries
desiring Freedom took that route, knowing ~'! that the so-called "Community" (wi
th a
i
II white-dominated country of another con

II
[I
I'
i
"
tinent to the north in control of both
money and guns) was scarcely "Independence."
But it at least appeared to be something
better than they had before.
"Let us be Partners," sang the spokesmen
of another National Branch of the
Power Structure to their colonies. "Let us
call ourselves a Commonwealth. Let us
share and share alike; let us Share-theWealth,
Hold-the-Wealth, in Common.
Common Wealth, don't you see? Let us
help one another in True Brotherhood and
Be Happy." And so a number of the coun

18
tries desiring Freedom took that route,
knowing that the so-called "Commonwealth"
(with another white-dominated
country of the continent to the north in
control of communication, transport, banking,
and industry) was scarcely "Independence."
But it, too, was regarded as a
way-station, a very big step forward toward
true Independence; and it certainly was
much better than they had before.
Of course, The Establishment did everything
it could to win support for the fiction
that "Community" and "Commonwealth"
were Freedom, were V huru. For above all,
The Establishment could not afford to
break the flow of precious raw materials
to its own shores by having any contrary
thought take root.
The Establishment was somewhat in
disarray, it was somewhat shaken, during
the process of letting go even partially of
over thirty countries. But it was not dismayed,
for it still held control of major
world finance centers, communication lines,
air-Iand-and-sea transport networks, trade
distribution channels and armed forces.
The Establishment was jolted, but was very
far from unseated.
Meanwhile, noting with happiness the
19
success of their distant relatives in attaining
a considerable measure of self-rule, the
descendants of the slaves in the Western
Hemisphere began to shake off the illusions,
the fictions, the misconceptions, that
had kept them "in line" for so long.
They began to "demonstrate."
Starting with a bus boycott in a Southern
state, followed by sit-ins at soda fountains
1n another Southern state, participation in
-.the struggle spread. Soon Freedom Riders
were turning up in many key cities, challenging
directly the hallowed institution
,known as "Segregation." Some of their
buses were overturned and burnt; and they
(the non-violents) were imprisoned, many
being beaten. There were stand-ins, wade.
ins, sleep-ins. There were larger and larger
demonstrations; and arrests by the hun-.
,dreds began to take place. Children and
. grown people were knocked down on the
streets with streams of water from fire,
hoses. Police dogs tore at the arms and'
legs and throats of demonstrators. But
none of these stopped the demonstrators.
The largest and strongest of the national
'organizations of the descendants of the
slaves were before long drawn into the
; protest, which had at last become nation20

wide.
A courageous and able local representative
of the biggest of these organizations,
in a Southern city, was shot in the back and
killed from ambush by a person who took
seriously the doctrines of white supremacy.
His own values having been warped and
twisted by these doctrines, he saw nothing
wrong with an action which earned him
the contempt of decent human beings
throughout the world.
But these warped values had not been
created by him. They had been created and
fostered by The Man Who Stole a Continent
and his children and grandchildren
and agents, who found them useful tools
through which to silence the voices of the
oppressed.
Children attending Sunday School were
dynamited .
It must be noted that the moral sense
of The Man Who Stole a Continent, as
well as the moral sense of his children and
grandchildren and agents, was not only
warped but perverted.
Nowhere is this fact better shown than
in the attitudes of all of them toward property
-especially toward "their property."
The Man Who Stole a Continent justi

21
fied his seizures of land and people by
stating that he was bringing progress to a
Dark Continent, and was "rescuing" barbarians
from paganism, thus was "saving
souls" that would otherwise burn in hell.
He claimed, when his voice could be heard
above the wails of the people he was
destroying, that he was bringing enlightenment
and civilization to a backward land.
Never mind that so-called "pagans" had
developed the very alphabet he himself
used; never mind that the very numbers he
used to total his profits came to his country
by way of the "Dark Continent." Never
mind that sciences like medicine developed
there for thousands of years before the
people of his country emerged from clubswinging
and cave-dwelling. Never mind
that a murderer-such as he was-could
not possibly save any soul, not even his
own. Never mind that the "enlightenment"
he brought was disease and slavery,
death and destruction to every people he
came into contact with. Never mind that
the "progress" he brought was a steady
retrogression: a lowering from year to year
of all standards of living, whether in housing,
health, employment, family life or
child welfare. Never mind that he brought
a corroding of spiritual values, a steady
lowering of moral values, both private and
public; a withering beyond tears of the
very souls of millions upon millions of
the people of The Continent He Stole.
No wonder they revolted against further
rule by the children· and grandchildren of
The Man Who Stole a Continent. No
wonder that most of them have little or
no use for the Great White Father, nor
for his progeny, and are determined to rid
themselves of the last remaining shackles
of his era, in order to stand Free, Sovereign
and Equal among all the other peoples of
the world.
In the Western Hemisphere, the children
and grandchildren of The Man Who
Stole a Continent justified their use of
slaves by saying that slaves were "property"
and that the "owner" of such "property"
could do with it as he liked. Thus
they justified lashing, mutilating, burning,
lynching and plain murder. Thus they justified
the breakup of families, selling whomever
they wished "down the river" -as the
eloquent phrase of that period put it. Thus
they justified sleeping with another man's
wife, and thus they justified selling as
slaves their own children from such unions.
22 23
But one day a great Civil War raged.
The President of the North, after two
fruitless years of warfare, saw that the war
would end either with a stalemate, or with
victory for the South. Fearful lest the
· North should lose, the Civil War President
was reluctantly forced to agree to put
300,000 former slaves and descendants of
slaves into service. Some 200,000 fought
in the army and navy of the North; some
100,000 built fortifications, roads, bridges,
and served as wagoneers, camp cooks,
· scouts, spies, and servants to officers. The
· addition of the 300,000 blacks made victory
for the North possible, as the Presi
· dent himself made plain and clear on

numerous public occasions.

But sadly, the President who had or

dered the Emancipation of the Slaves was

murdered soon after the surrender of the
chief military leader of the slaveholders.
His murderer was an embittered white
supremacist who was assisted by other
white supremacists of both the North and
the South.
Into the dead President's shoes stepped
a man who favored the slaveholders -a
man who adopted a policy called "Restora

tion" -that is, the Restoration of the Plan

tations to the Former Slaveholders.

In the two highest law-making bodies
of the land, however, there were men who
had the :courage to insist that the former
slaves be accorded the full equality that was
their due. They wrote and passed the Reconstruction
Laws which set the country on
the track to Democracy. They even tried
the Restoration President, attempting his
impeachment, losing their effort by only
one vote.
For eight years the former slaves and
the descendants of slaves had the vote in
the eleven Southern states-the years which
history calls the Reconstruction Period.
They accomplished so many great things,
such as starting the public school system
which we have today, that the descendants
of The Man Who Stole a Continent were
afraid they themselves would never get
back into power on a state level in the
South unless they forcibly removed the
former slaves from office.
And so these advocates of "white supre

macy" said "Good-bye" to morality, and

"Welcome" to murder.
Through intimidation, beatings, arson,
fraud and deceit they cut down the voting
registers.-and prevented the descendants of
24 25
former slaves from going to the polls. By
flaying people to death in the public square,
and by burning people to death at huge
spectacles attended by women and children,
and by organizing five thousand recorded
lynchings, plus many thousands of
unrecorded dumpings into sloughs, throatcuttings
and stabbings in the dead of night,
hidden snipings and untold numbers of
merciless mutilations, the "white supremacists"
served faithfully the presumed
"best interests" of the children and grandchildren
of The Man Who Stole a Continent.
( "Would you want your daughter to
marry a black man?" was one of the stock
questions asked by supporters of the system
who "deplored" violence yet made it
possible for it to continue, thus themselves
being implicated. Another question they
asked was "Don't you want white civilization
to continue?" Another was: "But are
they really ready for the vote?" )
And the children and grandchildren of
The Man Who Stole a Continent, sitting
in state courts as judges, and in governors'
chairs, backed up the bloody-handed "patriots"
by freeing them when they were
caught, praising them and the South's "peculiar
institution," rewarding them, and
26

supporting in every possible way the rule

at local police and sheriff levels of the most
brutal, the most callous and the most unprincipled
elements to be found in areas
specializing in unprincipled, callous and
brutal acts.
Of course there were occasional twinges
of conscience.
Here and there an official might say
some kind words about the descendants of
slaves. But such officials were not reelected;
very well-financed opposition to
their candidacy at re-election time would
suddenly turn up, and they would as suddenly
find themselves out of a job.
Even a President or two made public
statements, forceful statements, demanding
that his Party live up to its campaign
pledges on Equality.
But such words were a long way from
the deeds at local levels which would mean
a change in race and class relations at those
levels, where change must of necessity
come if Words are to be transformed into
Action.
And the Supreme Court took many
excellent stands on Equality. But in the
administration of the law there are many
loopholes for those who want them. Six
27
years after the decision outlawing "separate
but equal" schools, six per cent of the
South's schools were integrated; eight years
after the decision, eight per cent of the
South's schools were integrated. At that
rate of progress, a hundred years could pass
before that one aspect of Southern life-the
school system -could be integrated. And
what about all-black schools in Northern
and \Vestern cities, based onghettces?
Again, it took over twenty thousand
armed men to place one colored student in
a famous old university in an infamous old
state. At that rate, it is conceivable that if
enough people of the old slave stock were
to register for entrance in the colleges of
the South, there might well be not enough
soldiers to go around.
And when three little girls of African
descent are, after heartbreaking struggle,
"admitted" to a formerly lily-white public
school in a Southern city, is that school
really "integrated"? And has there been
any change in the basic attitudes, in the
morality, of the community in which that
school is located?
But what of the whole character of life
in a divided land? Who will look at that
life as a whole and find the answers to
28
---y
today's burning questions of real equality
and of national unity?
Can the spirit of the nation ever be
cleansed of the filth in which that spirit
has moved for almost three and a half
centuries?
Can the heart of a nation change? -a
nation which to this day denies the vote to
three out of every four black adults of voting
age; a nation which to this day countenances
the system by which descendants of
slaves receive wages, on the average, half
that of whites?
Who will make the nation look at itself
-who will make it characterize itself justly,
accurately?
And who will live, in a society which
spawns ambushers, to lead the nation back
to brotherhood, to cooperation, to equality,
to democracy-the real thing?
All of this-and much, much more-is
the legacy of The Man Who Stole a Continent.

It is a legacy of crimes committedcrimes

so numerous and so terrible as to
defy even listing.
It is a legacy of corruption on a giant
scale; a legacy of greed unbelievable.
It is a legacy of corroding, all-pervading

immorality.
It is a legacy of a pattern of life which
could please only one being: Satan.
And yet it is a legacy which has been
(even down to today) zealously defended
by the children and grandchildren of The
Man Who Stole a Continent.
Those children and grandchildren even
today assert in loudest tones their "right"
to the stolen wealth they inherited; their
"right" to the unpaid labor of generations
of slaves; their "right" to steal half of the
wages of the descendants of slaves today.
Such a morality is the morality of Satan.
Perhaps The Man Who Stole a Continent
WAS Satan.
If so, the cruel and selfish actions of his
children and their corrupt philosophy of
life would be understandable as the actions
and the philosophy of Satan's Children.
Likewise Satanic, are the grandchildren
of The Man Who Stole a Continent-they
of today who grind the black man's face in
the dust through their evil "policies."
For the morality of The Man Who Stole
a Continent and of his children and grandchildren
and agents can only be characterized
as the Most Way-Out Evil this world
has ever known. And Way-Out Evil is
30
Satanic, and has only one possible end: to
be cast out altogether and forever from the
society known as humankind; to be cast
into the burning fire which is its natural
home; to be remembered only (by the
generations which follow its end) as the
most devastating catastrophe that ever be

fell mankind.
