- Benjamin Nathaniel Smith, who died July 4 after a Midwest
racist shooting spree, was a member of the "World Church of the Creator."
The group had gone out of existence in the 1991-93 period, and was revived
under the direct control of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service
(CSIS), Canada's domestic intelligence agency, acting in partnership with
other British Commonwealth secret services. Canada's intelligence services
report directly to Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, and to the British secret
services.
Smith was recently a student at Indiana University in Bloomington and had
passed out literature on the campus for the anti-Christian "Church."
The "Church of the Creator" was re-formed in the early 1990s
as an arm of the Canadian government-created Heritage Front, Canada's main
organization of neo-Nazis. The "Church" members formed the "Security
Legion" or paramilitary arm for the Front. The Heritage Front project
burst into the headlines in 1994 when Brian McInnis, an aide to former
Canadian Solicitor General Douglas Lewis, gave the Toronto Star newspaper
parts of a classified document in his possession, stamped "read and
destroy." The document revealed that the government had actually {created
and funded} the neo-Nazi group through CSIS agent Grant Bristow, who was
paid a $50,000 spy-agency salary and laid out some $300,000 to fund the
neo-Nazis. Bristow was at this time personally directing the violent racist
activities of the "Church of the Creator."
-
- The whistleblower, McInnis, was arrested by the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police and detained for six hours. He was threatened with
prison for violating the British Empire-origin Official Secrets Act, but
was apparently not prosecuted. Canada's Security Intelligence Review Committee
held hearings on the Heritage Front scandal. This official British Commonwealth
review body mildly criticized Bristow and the CSIS, but praised the CSIS
for maintaining "active" agents in racist groups--supposedly
to avert violence. At one point in late 1992, a computer holding names
of members of the Heritage Front was stolen from the "Church of the
Creator"--i.e., the Front's security office. According to an affidavit
by Heritage Front leader Wolfgange Droege, CSIS agent Grant Bristow told
"Church" security director Eric Fisher that a certain member
had stolen the computer.
-
- Fisher, a Canadian airborne special forces veteran, forcibly
detained and beat up airborne special forces veteran, forcibly detained
and beat up Bristow's suspect. The victim, Tyrone Mason, told the police
and Fisher was charged with kidnapping and assault. But Bristow warned
Mason to drop the charges, according to Mason's affidavit. - Creation and
Re-Creation - "Church of the Creator" was founded originally
in the early 1970s by one Ben Klassen, who grew up in Canada but moved
to the U.S. and became a Florida State Legislator and millionaire. During
1992, South African police spies revealed they had been assigned to use
the "Church" for recruits in an undercover war against the African
National Congress. The Southern Poverty Law Center sued the "Church,"
driving it to bankruptcy and to the 1993 suicide of founder Klassen. The
Canadian secret service re-creation of the defunct "Church" began
well before Klassen's death. By the time the Bristow affair hit the news,
the "Church of the Creator" was simply a CSIS-Bristow initiative;
well-placed sources say there was then only one member of the "Church"
in the United States. In this period, the sources say, Bristow travelled
back and forth across the border, "taking law enforcement classes"
from the FBI. From about 1996, the U.S. office of this international secret
police project was led by Matthew Hale of East Peoria--now notorious as
the fatal mentor of shooter Benjamin Smith. The Heritage Front's nominal
leader, Canadian Wolfgang Droege, a longtime associate of Klassen, was
jailed for his part in a 1981 secret-services-backed scheme of Canadian
and U.S. racist mercenaries to overthrow the government of Dominica. After
another U.S. term for cocaine pushing, Droege returned to Canada and CSIS
agent Bristow asked him to create Heritage Front under Droege's name. In
an April 26, 1996 affidavit, Droege says CSIS agent Bristow funded Droege's
personal expenses, funded the creation, development, and publicity of the
Heritage Front, ran the provocations and harassment against leftist and
anti-racist groups, funded and personally ran all aspects of its outreach
to the U.S. and other countries, and ran its legal protection from the
Canadian authorities. For an example on the legal front, observers were
astonished by the 30-day sentence offered by Canadian prosecutors as a
punishment for "Church of the Creator" security director Eric
Fisher in the Bristow-instigated kidnapping.
