STROM SENTENCING POINTS UP ACCOUNTABILITY
Richard Barrett
The sentencing of Kevin Strom to two years for child-pornography
points up the issue of accountability. At his sentencing, Strom asked for
"one minute for every month already spent in jail." However, he should
have received one year for every pornographic picture he possessed. He
admitted to having downloaded one-hundred-thousand to his computer,
but excused it on the grounds that only a fraction depicted sex with kiddies.
"Accountability, however," refers to individual, as well as group, responsibility.
Accomplices are just as culpable as the culprit.
Strom followed the pattern of David Duke in pleading guilty, but, then,
claiming that he was not guilty. Duke, who had defrauded his contributors,
compounded by mail-fraud and tax-evasion, pleaded guilty, but, upon
arrival at the "big house," claimed that he really had not been guilty, at all,
despite seizure of his records, detailing his corruption and cover-up.
Strom did not wait so long. He told the judge that he was not guilty and
had been framed, but the judge noted that, since Strom had pleaded guilty
and not withdrawn his plea, the court was bound to treat him as guilty.
The telling point was the backing, which both Duke and Strom received.
Upon Duke's release from prison, Strom journeyed to New Orleans
to sign a document, compiled by Duke, pledging never to criticize Duke
or anyone else imprisoned for any sort of crimes. It was a bizarre but
revealing document, the import of which echoed the old adage that "the
king can do no wrong" by claiming that "anyone 'white' can do no wrong."
One thing lacking in both Strom and Duke was contrition. There never
was any "I am sorry," "I apologize" or "Please forgive me."
A website, supporting both Strom and Duke, immediately criticized those
who backed the convictions, calling them "FBI-informants," "bad-mouthers,"
"liars," "Jews," "weird" and "homosexuals." It was even asserted that
Nationalists who "attacked" Strom and Duke were "hurting the movement."
During prosecution, it had been revealed that Duke had spent his loot for
gambling and whore-mongering and Strom had been stalking a ten-year-old
girl. For calling both Duke and Strom out, this writer was called "a joke"
and "non-white" by the convicts' partisans.
Strom and Duke shared one other deviant trait. They both had gleefully
heaped calumny upon those who leveled criticism at their criminality.
Strom published an appeal over his now-defunct website insisting that
this writer be assassinated. He was joined by April Gaede, the mother
of the teenage singing-duo, who Strom had managed and whose heads
Strom had pasted onto pornographic images. Duke, also, had launched a
tirade, by way of surrogates, against his critics, terming them "skunks,"
who "deserve not to draw another breath on this earth."
Duke has moved to a foreign country, where he received a mail-order-style
"doctor's degree." He refers to himself as "Doctor Duke" in Internet
posts. His once well-oiled political-machine has collapsed. His Duke
Campaign, NAAWP and "No Fear" organizations, which had been taken
up by disciples, are defunct. Strom, who had aspired to perpetuate the late
William L. Pierce, whose book had been the blueprint for the Oklahoma-City
bombing, has been banned from the Internet. He has been allowed access
to his retarded son, during his fifteen-year probation.
