PRESS RELEASE: Neo Con spokesman, Stephen Schwartz, self-destructively attacks the CIA, the Cornell English Department, "Big Oil" and harasses numerous innocent victims in San Francisco's Bohemian North Beach virtually immolating himself with his all too familiar fiery vicious scatological homo-erotically tinged predatory foul language.
This is more than a North Beach San Francisco issue. What is at stake here is the real defense of democracy and freedom of expression not the Orwellian double think of Stephen Schwartz who is like the pig "Napoleon" in "Animal Farm"
http://www.his.com/~phe/farm.html http://www.mondopolitico.com/library/animalfarm/animalfarm.htm "'Napoleon stood sternly surveying his audience; then he uttered a high-pitched whimper. Immediately the dogs bounded forward, seized four of the pigs by the ear and dragged them squealing with pain and terror, to Napoleon's feet... When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess.'
Before long, there is a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air is heavy with the smell of blood. Even so, the terror and senseless death are both shattering experiences, but they are at least comprehensible; far more terrifying is the overt alteration of consciousness, which follows the slaughter, the blatant misrepresentation of the past, which goes unchallenged. [9] Lacking the right words to express her thoughts after the slaughter, Clover begins to sing Beasts of England , the patriotic song of the Rebellion. Squealer stops her and tells her that Beasts of England is of no use anymore, because the better society portrayed in the song has already been achieved. The irony in this statement is almost absurd, yet the animals have failed to grasp its meaning."

Stephen Schwartz, as is obvious from his writing below, thinks he is untouchable, immune to the rule of law. He sees himself, like all the totalitarian dictators before him, as the embodiment of the state. Therefore, any attack on him personally or his writing is, in his twisted paranoid vengeful mind, equivalent to a terrorist attack on America. The man is clearly insane filled with a desire for revenge, but is a menace because he seems to have the trust of the Neo Con Cabal in the Bush Administration including, or so he alleges, James Woolsey ex-DCI. He also boasts that he is on intimate terms with Paul Wolfowitz
http://www.majority.com/news/jeet1.html and that he will be Wolfowitz's "official biographer." Schwartz, drinking excessively as usual, told me at the bar in Enrico's Cafe in San Francisco's North Beach in January 2003 that Woolsey was disappointed that Schwartz did not quote him on the jacket of "The Two Faces of Islam" lauding his book that NYRB's Clifford Geertz and Princeton's Michael Doran, and other respected orthodox Islamic scholars have panned as a simplistic "obsessive" fabrication using the Wahhabi sect of Islam and the Saudi government as the scapegoat for the Al Qaeda 911 attack.
Synopsis of the breaking news story re:
http://qedcorp.com/Schwartz/evolution3.jpg http://qedcorp.com/Schwartz/shark1.jpg http://qedcorp.com/Schwartz/shark2.jpg http://qedcorp.com/Schwartz/snit.html http://qedcorp.com/Schwartz/pottypolitics.html http://qedcorp.com/Schwartz/TwilightofS.html Stephen Schwartz is a Neo Con spokesman on the Beltway employed by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies whose website suggests a Mom and Pop operation listing only Stephen Schwartz and Clifford May as active members with ex-DCI James Woolsey as an "advisor." The Foundation is allegedly involved in anti-terrorism work. Schwartz is Johnny One Note that the official Saudi Royal Government is the real source of evil responsible for the 911 attack because of their "protection money" payments to the Al Qaeda that is the terrorist arm of the Wahhabi sect of Islam. This may or may not be true. Our story has nothing directly to do with that issue except that Schwartz makes wildly irresponsible, indeed insane, charges that innocent people, such as myself and others like the renowned American writer Herbert Gold and his film maker son Ari are, if not directly in league with Al Qaeda and the Saudi "CAIR" are in league in a conspiracy with their close allies the "Serbs". Schwartz, in his fevered paranoid imagination fueled by his desire for revenge against a large list of the personal enemies he has accumulated over the years, has concocted a huge fictional conspiracy like that of the Elders of Zion that apparently has been embraced by some key members of the Neo Con Cabal that appears to be a kind of semi-secret society of Illuminati based on the occult techgnostic writings of Leo Strauss. One would normally dismiss all this except for Schwartz claiming he has the active support of James Woolsey and other powerful Neo Conservative Powers in the Bush Administration in his Gestapo-like jihad against innocent Bohemian artists, scientists, and literati in San Francisco's Bohemian North Beach who know him for almost 30 years. Schwartz in his desperate attempt to reinvent himself in his plan for a Trotskyite Coup d' Etat in the White House and Congress, with himself as "Hamlet" avenging "Trotsky's Ghost"
http://www.majority.com/news/jeet1.html the Master Mind, The Puppet Master, needs to reduce all the people who know the many skeletons overstuffing his closet to "human dust." In his fantasy, written in his e-mail we see his dark side bubbling out into clear view. For example Schwartz very un "wisecracked" that he and his influential neo con friends in DC and NYC would like to "nuke San Francisco" because people like me live in it. Schwartz is obviously a madman and is dangerous because he appears on national TV and appears to have the confidence of the neoconservative faction in the Pentagon and the White House if not also in the Department of Justice. Schwartz is like a Trojan Horse virus eating away at the conceptual landscape of policy planning in the Bush Administration. Note that I am a member of the National Republican Business Advisory Council and I have contributed funds to the Bush administration. I am not another "lefty" attacking Bush. Finally, we need to mention that Schwartz and I were working together up until Feb 8, 2003 when a split happened over Michael Savage of "The Savage Nation." Basically I refused to lie for Schwartz that Michael Savage was working for the Milosevic Serbs and used me to deliver a "veiled death threat" (Schwartz's words) from the Serbs to him. Schwartz also thought I intentionally "snitched" to Savage about his plan to defame him. Schwartz then had his "pilot fish" groupie Richard Torre write me a very insulting series of threatening e-mails on Feb 8, 2003 calling me a "Quisling". That led directly to the current situation you see below. It should not be inferred that I agree with Michael Savage's politics 100% or that I am a Savage groupie as Schwartz alleges. I am no one's groupie not even Schwartz's and because of that I am the victim of his harassment and lame attempts at entrapments that is his characteristic pattern. Note how David Horowitz had to apologize for Schwartz's slander against Serge Trifkovic in Front Page Magazine on the same kinds of false allegations Schwartz makes about me, writer Herbert Gold and his son Ari. The e-mail record shows that I quietly tried to patch things up with Schwartz in the period between Feb 8 2003 and end of March 2003. I did not go public and contact Schwartz's associates and the media until his harassment and bully intimidation became unbearable with his charge that the late Marshall Naify was a "murderer" as bad as "Ira Einhorn".

Stephen Schwartz, the loose cannon of the Neo Con Cabal alleges that ex DCI James Woolsey supports his Robespierre Reign of Terror of lies and threats.
http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/robespierre.html Stephen Schwartz wrote on August 8, 2003
"Herbert Romerstein has, as so often before, stuck his dick in a place it doesn't belong, and if he continues to involve himself with this nonsense, will suffer to the end of his days."
According to Alex Dore's eyewitness testimony below, it is Stephen Schwartz, not Herbert Romerstein, who should worry where he has stuck his. Stephen's continual, indeed characteristic, use of foul scatological violent homosexual epithets shows the profile of a predator and supports Dore's allegations. His homoerotically based harassment of Kim Burrafato who he smears as "Kimberley Buttboy" below, also supports Dore's allegations. Methinks that Schwartz doth project too much. Schwartz, a notorious bully, has been symbolically "raping the child" in Kim since the late 1970's with his well-known in North Beach sadistical taunts and insults of Kim. This story goes back a long way 25 years.
P Segal's article shows that Schwartz was claiming libel and slander from his critics as far back as the late 1970's. We agree with Schwartz that he has "not changed" since his days at as a teenager with Communist Party USA when I, in contrast, was in the Civil Air Patrol and USAF ROTC at Cornell. Schwartz falsely charges me with saying I was a "veteran". I never made any such claim in writing or in conversation with anyone at any time.
"Once in a while you'd run into someone else along the way, stop and have a something, but eventually you'd be back at the Savoy. And if you waited long enough on the terrace, the person you were looking for would at least saunter by. Sitting on the terrace, Jack Sarfatti would tell you about his newest theory, his personal war with a huge figure in New Age big business, or books, or you'd nod at the funny rants of Kim, whose first claim to fame was being the subject of an article in Esquire, about golden boys who have surprised everyone by not being famous yet. Stephen Schwartz would come in with plenty to say, about his current book or this week's attempted assassination of his character. " P. Segal in
http://www.caffeproust.com/PST/cafe5.html So this is what the Neo Con Cabal has in store for dissidents? These unrepentant Reds who have bamboozled some conservatives want to turn North Beach into the Gulag. David Bohm had Joe Mc Carthy, I have Stephen Schwartz I am Jean Valjean in Les Miserables to Schwartz's Javert. When will Schwartz jump into the Potomac and end his misery?

give Schwartz the bad news and tell him to save his money.

No lawyer, let me repeat, no lawyer would tolerate a client who sent out emails like Schwartz is doing. Thus, you can be sure, he is acting without any legal advice whatsoever."
Schwartz is gutless and bluffing. You asked him 5 days ago to name his lawyer and he hasn't. Richard Torre, the good Fascist, is shaking his fists at people in North Beach because they refuse to talk to him.
This proves that Schwartz is a liar.
This certainly helps my lawsuit against Schwartz and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.
BTW I never accused Stephen Schwartz of pedophilia. Someone else Alex Dore, who claimed to be an eyewitness, gave strong evidence that pointed to that. The record clearly shows that.
"Apology and Correction
By David Horowitz
January 15, 2003
Correction of Statements Made On This Site About Serge Trifkovic:
Frontpage regrets characterizations of Serge Trifkovic, author of Sword of Islam, that were made in an article by Stephen Schwartz (CAIR's Axis of Evil) to the effect that Trifkovic, is an Islamophobe, is associated with Pravda or Antiwar.com, and "was the main advocate in the West for the regime of Slobodan Milosevic." Serge Trifkovic is not associated with either Pravda or Antiwar.com. He was not a supporter of Slobodan Milsoevic. He is not an Islamophobe nor would Frontpage have given extensive space to a summary of his book if he were. Frontpage regrets any pain or injury this may have caused to Mr. Trifkovic."-- David Horowitz)
Reply to Stephen Schwartz by Serge Trifkovic:
"It is troubling and disappointing that Frontpagemagazine (FPM) has allowed Stephen Schwartz to slander me. Had the diatribe been launched privately I would never have stooped to replying, directly or otherwise, to this deeply troubled man. Since FPM has seen it fit to provide the vehicle, however, I have no choice but to react. To be called "the noted Islamophobe" is not only an invitation to a fatwa, it is doubly sinister coming as it does from a convert to Mohammedanism. Schwartz writes that "Trifkovic is much more closely identified [with] the Russian 'red-brown' (Communazi) newspaper Pravda." This comes as a genuine surprise to me. What foreign websites carry my articles is beyond my control, but since I have never written anything for "Pravda" or spoken to anyone associated with it, this slanderous little aside only reinforces the way in which Mr. Schwartz has not allowed mere facts to stand in the way of his creativity. Schwartz accuses me of being in league with Slobodan Milosevic's apologists at Antiwar.com - although the site's only mention of my name in this context came in the form of a scathing personal attack by one of its former columnists: "Kostunica's American worshippers, including Fleming and his Chronicles colleague Srdja Trifkovic continue to indulge themselves in their puerile fantasies." (George Szamuely, Antiwar.com, September 29, 2000) But it is the claim that I was "the main public advocate in the West for the regime of Slobodan Milosevic" that is as unfunny as it is untrue. It is also hurtful to me personally in view of the many risks I have taken with my long and well documented position vis-a-vis Mr. Milosevic."
NY Review of Books, Volume 50, Number 11 · July 3, 2003 Which Way to Mecca? Part II By Clifford Geertz:
"Stephen Schwartz, who has also run into political difficulties in the capital, and stirred thereby a teacup-storm on the right, is a strange and outlandish figure. He grew up in San Francisco as part of the City Lights literary crowd around Lawrence Ferlinghetti, whom his father had published; he became a so-far-left-he's-right Trotskyist-anarchist under the nom de guerre "Comrade Sandallo," worked for a while as an obituary writer and street reporter for The San Francisco Chronicle, shifted his affections and his energies to Reagan during the micro-war in Grenada, and ultimately made his way as a freelance journalist to Sarajevo in the 1990s, where he converted to Islam and joined a Naqshabandi Sufi order. He changed his name again, at least for some purposes, to Suleyman Abmad, and found the Medusa's head every conspiratorialist needs: "Wahabism."
... His book consists in a monomaniacal tracing out, laborious and repetitive (the word "wahhabi" or "Wahhabism" appears in almost every paragraph), of the thousands of ways, ingenious, insidious, and implacably relentless, in which the machinations of the House of Saud in the service of this mad creed reaches out to poison the souls of Muslims, turn them against one another, against us, against everybody. Mobilizing their petro-dollars to found religious schools all over the world, set up popular-front-type propaganda foundations, finance lobbying efforts, bribe the powerful, infiltrate legitimate organizations, recruit supporters, eliminate enemies, and most especially to finance jihad, terrorism, and the destruction of Israel, the Saudis work tirelessly to turn Islam, in its essence a peaceful, mystical, unifying force "preaching love and healing," into a world-dividing, world-destroying "two-faced" one. There is, of course, more than a grain of truth in this, as there is in any comprehensive indictment of faction-ridden politics, and the Saudi factions, like the Ayatollahs, Hamas, Syria, and Mubarak are, surely, playing for keeps. But Schwartz's discussion (he has virtually nothing to say about the concrete details of intra-Islamic conflict and, except for the Koran, he does without source references) is a prime example of how to transform an arguable argument into an obsessional fantasy"
Stephen Schwartz July 17, 2003, 11:15 PM
"The claim that I ever invented anything in any of my work is libel, and cannot be sustained. Nobody has ever made such a claim. Geertz and Doran disagreed with my interpretation but did not charge me with fabrication."
Stephen is lying, Doran, in fact accuses Schwartz of serious fabrication. Doran wrote:
Michael Doran - Washington Post - December 22, 2002
"Instead of judiciously analyzing the policies and beliefs of Saudi Arabia, Schwartz peddles the outlandish thesis that the country ranks -- together with Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union -- as one of the greatest threats to world peace in the modern era.
Because a danger of such magnitude cannot be something completely new, Schwartz has no choice but to rewrite the story of the modern Middle East, depicting the Saudis as the primary villains. Claiming that his study "constitutes a 'secret history' comparable to the hidden archival record of Soviet Communism," Schwartz manages to find the fingerprints of Riyadh at crime scenes that no Saudi ever visited. Thus, with no proof whatsoever, Schwartz asserts that it was Saudi -- not European -- expansionism that presented the Ottoman Empire with "the deadliest challenge" to its rule. And thus, based on the weakest circumstantial evidence, he equates Wahhabism, the official Saudi ideology, with Islamic fundamentalism in general, thereby saddling the Saudis with more guilt than they deserve for the general Islamic resurgence in the Middle East.
When Schwartz is not planting evidence against the Saudis, he is busy concocting alibis for proven offenders. He claims, for example, that Khomeinism has been misread by the United States as intolerant and threatening. The Saudis reinforced this misperception, he argues, so as to prevent us from realizing that they -- not the fascists in power in Tehran -- are the true enemies of pluralism. This kind of dirty detective work destroys the author's credibility."
