The Peaky Blinders were a street gang based in Birmingham, England, which operated from the 1880s until the 1920s. The group consisted largely of young criminals from lower- to working-class backgrounds. They engaged in robbery, violence, racketeering, illegal bookmaking, and control of gambling. Members wore signature outfits that typically included tailored jackets, lapelled overcoats, buttoned waistcoats, silk scarves, bell-bottom trousers, leather boots, and peaked flat caps.

Role: Former Trump attorney
Charges: seven, including racketeering, conspiracy to commit election fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the state
Connection to the case: Powell was a Trump campaign attorney who became one of the most visible faces of the effort touting unfounded election fraud claims, famously saying at one point that she would “release the Kraken” of evidence. Powell also vocally spread lies about how Dominion voting machines favored Biden versus Trump, an allegation
that later played a role in the defamation lawsuit Dominion filed against Fox News.
The indictment accuses Powell of hiring a forensic data firm to acquire data from Dominion voting machines across the country, including in Coffee County, Georgia. It also alleges that Powell tampered with electronic ballot markers and machines in Coffee County.
[Leo Frank Museum and Gallery Curator: Heavily edited for spelling and grammar. Conversation submitted, Early March 2024]
Original submission by Davis and Theodore, Students of the Leo Frank Case:
The most popular antigentile hoax that arose in the 1960s thanks to Dr. Leonard Dinnerstein, professor of Judaic studies, and his activist professorial ilk in the henceforth decades, is the hoax of "widespread" or "rampant" Southern antisemitism.
Antisemitism racketeering groups and leading Jewish activists of the 21st century have co-opted this anti-Southern, Anti-gentile, and anti-white defamation by repeating it until the hoax enters into the academy through peer-reviewed documents and scholarly documents, and becomes a staple of fundraising for Judaic scare-unity activism.
Judaic activist groups that benefit from rising antisemitism have found a powerful tool for creating antisemitic sentiments by making false accusations of antisemitism to irritate and incense the public, thereby giving themselves the grist to encourage Jews to disassociate with Gentiles, rather than build Jewish-Gentile relations.
We are as others have, making a clarion call on local city councils everywhere to declare false accusations of antisemitism a form of criminal harassment and to revoke the licensure of non-profits that raise money by exaggerating antisemitism, which is a form of fraud.
Another common hoax is the popular opin[ion] is [that] Leo Frank was innocent. A bunch of Jewish professors keeps repeating it and then they don't mention that it was Jewish professor who said it. They remove the Jewish part, and make it sound like all professors were saying it.
Re: Antigentilism 101
Alan Moe, chimed in with a quote from the Nation of Islam series on Black-Jewish relations, quote:
There is about an 8-page section titled "Jews & Southern Race Relations" in the Nation of Islam book _The Secret Relationship Between Blacks & Jews, Vol. 2_ that addresses this very point. Here is an excerpt:
Brandeis University professor Jonathan Sarna wrote that during this post–Civil War period dozens of Jewish congregations grew in size, stability, and prosperity, and numerous edifices were erected, “many with elaborate decoration in Romanesque Moorish style, attest[ing] to the confidence and optimism of their builders.” In fact, the South led the nation in the number of synagogues per capita (one for every 600 Jews), compared with the national average of one for every 1,300 Jews. Harry Golden, himself a Southerner, adamantly maintained that in the small and rural country towns—where traditional hatred of Blacks is the most acute—“[s]egregation of Jew and Gentile disappears entirely.” In fact, he says, the Jew is really in an enviable position: "He is ‘our' Jew to small-town Southerners, and they often take care of him with a zeal and devotion otherwise bestowed only on the Confederate monument in the square."
Golden continues with a remarkable assessment of Jewish life in deep Southern Klan country: "The Jewish merchant takes his regular turn as president of Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Retail Merchants, Country Club, Chamber of Commerce, and Community Chest. And it is precisely his ‘conspicuousness,' his Jewish religion, that gives him a security and allows him a relaxation that would be the envy of his co-religionists of the metropolitan areas of the North, or for that matter, of the larger urban centers of the South."
end of quote.
Re: Antigentilism.
Sal Responded:
"These idiots have no clue. The South is the one place where there was NO antisemitism! Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, etc. LOVE Jews! Antisemitism was in the North and Midwest where large numbers of Germans settled."
APPENDIX:
Play is a searing indictment of antisemitism in the South
It’s been over 100 years since Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old Atlanta pencil factory worker, was horrifically murdered. Leo Frank, the Jewish man who managed the factory, was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death. Though his sentence was later commuted to life by the Georgia governor, an antisemitic mob kidnapped Frank from jail and lynched him.
Today, many believe Frank was wrongly convicted. The thunderous consequences of the case can still be felt in today’s news as incidents of antisemitism and violence against Jews continue to reverberate throughout the country.
A play, television movie and a musical have all recounted the tragedy and each one has been critically praised. The musical version, titled “Parade,” debuted in 1998 and it has proven especially enduring, having recently completed a highly regarded revival on Broadway.
Actors’ Repertory Theatre of Simi’s current production, which opened Feb. 24, shows why “Parade” should be regarded as a milestone in American musical theater. ARTS’ production is gripping, disturbing and often thrilling, keeping its audience on the edge of its seat from the first martial drumbeat to the last.
The “parade” takes place in 1913 during Georgia’s annual Confederate Memorial Day celebration honoring its Civil War dead, but also suggests the methodical procession toward Frank’s ultimate injustice, caused by a systematic cortege of tainted witnesses.
Alfred Uhry’s book pits a trio of protagonists against an equal number of antagonists. On one side is Frank, a bespectacled Jewish college graduate from Brooklyn who arrives in Atlanta to work as the superintendent of the National Pencil Company, supervising over 100 underage female workers. The inordinately talented Aaron Ellis, a gifted actor, singer and son of a cantor (his “Sh’ma” will bring tears to your eyes) , plays Frank as an unsympathetic hero, complaining of his fish-out-of-water existence: an immigrant in his own country. Obsessive-compulsive, the mild-mannered Frank ignores his Georgia-born wife while immersing himself in his work. Even while incarcerated, facing the death penalty, he obsesses about paying his bills.
Frank’s wife, Lucille, is beautifully played by Samantha Craton, who gives a stunning performance as the woman who stands by her man, pleading for his freedom even after he is railroaded for committing the heinous crime for which he is accused. Her song “You Don’t Know This Man” is one of her many achingly beautiful moments in the show. Ellis and Craton are terrific as they show the Franks’ relationship grow from distant and strained to tragically tender (“All the Wasted Time”). Both are a revelation.
Lew Stowers plays the conscientious outgoing Georgia governor John Slaton, who refuses to vacate his office before conducting his own investigation of the case. Stowers imbues his convincing performance with a perfectly honeyed Georgia accent, learned by studying the speech patterns of former president Jimmy Carter.
The three antagonists are ambitious prosecuting attorney Hugh Dorsey, played with sly guile by Mark Haan; antisemitic newspaper publisher and religious zealot Tom Watson (the excellent Joey Grady), who uses yellow journalism to inflame the citizens against Frank; and the amazing Keith Borden as Jim Conley, a Black janitor who is coached by Dorsey to implicate Frank in the murder (“That’s What He Said”). The confrontation between Stowers, as Gov. Slaton, and Borden, as the cunning Conley, is the musical’s dramatic highlight. To a pulsating chain gang ostinato, Slaton and Conley square off, with Borden providing the thunder on the rafters-raising blues shout “Feel the Rain Fall.”
Other outstanding performances are turned in by Noah Gephart-Canada, who delivers a smoldering performance as young Frankie Epps, a friend of Mary’s; Maxwell Oliver as opportunistic journalist Brit Craig (“Real Big News” is his tour de force); Noa Levy as the unfortunate Mary; Joshua Ray as fearful night watchman Newt Lee; and Sarah Steiker as Mary Phagan’s grieving mother.
Gary Poirot’s upstage orchestra plays Jason Robert Brown’s Tony-winning score, with its Charles Ives-influenced references to Southern folk and sacred tunes, spirited marches and dissonant counter-melodies. “Parade” is produced by Jan Glasband (who also designed the drab, earth-toned costumes) and directed by David Ralphe.
The musical continues through March 24 at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center. For tickets, go to actorsrepofsimi.org.

Role: Former Trump attorney
Charges: 13, including racketeering, making false statements, and conspiracy to commit forgery
Connection to the case: Giuliani, formerly New York City’s mayor, became a close Trump ally over the course of the former president’s administration, and eventually served as Trump’s personal lawyer. He was a prominent figure in the days following the election, appearing on television and holding press conferences falsely arguing Trump won.
He is accused of pressuring legislatures in multiple states, including Georgia, to name electors that would award the election to Trump even though multiple recounts had confirmed his loss.
Our fearless union leader Pancho Blanco is being held against his will.
He stands accused of racketeering in the wee hours of the morning.
However, as his next door neighbor, my testimony will only bolster the prosecution.

Activists and free speech supporters show their support outside US District Courthouse in San Francisco May 31, 2018. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California holds a hearing to decide whether or not to dismiss Resolute Forest Products’ baseless racketeering lawsuit against three Greenpeace entities, Stand.earth, and five individual staff members of these independent organizations after the hearing on an amended complaint.
