Nate Christensen seems like a typical almost-18-year-old boy. Now in his senior year at Bingham High School in South Jordan, he plays the trumpet in the marching band. He took a longtime friend to the school's homecoming dance. He loves popular music artists from Justin Bieber to Owl City.

Minoo Southgate of the ADL told me, in a deposition, nearly a decade ago, that UAM must be monitored and that UAM must stop inviting "anti-Semites" like Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Khallid Muhammad, Kwame Ture and Dr. Ben to its forums. In short, the Giuliani administration was seeking to put UAM in receivership. Other people must manage its affairs. The receiver had to be a descendant of the slavemaster. Today, UAM is under the all-seeing eye of the NYPD. David Walker, who authored "Walker's Appeal," received similar treatment before he was assassinated in 1830. UAM will sponsor forums on Wednesday, May 10 and May 17, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. at Elks Plaza, 1068 Fulton Street in Brooklyn on the police spying on UAM (take the "C" train to Franklin).
