A day of peace
At 11 o’clock on the morning of
November 11, 1986, our nation will of-
ficially commence our yearly tribute to
our veterans. Veterans Day ceremonies
at Arlington National Cemetery and
celebrations elsewhere around the coun-
try commemorate the comitment and
sacrifice of those individuals who have
served our nation as members of the
armed services.
Veterans Day is a day for all
Americans to remember that the price of
freedom can be very high indeed. It is a
day that rekindles memories of our
glorious but costly history. It is a day
that serves to renew the dreams and rein-
vigorate the spirit that has carried our
great nation through more than two cen-
turies of struggle. But, and this we must
never forget, Veterans Day is really a
day of peace.
This day — November 11 — is a day
that in its initial observance was marked
as a day to celebrate the end of the war
that would end all wars. Although this
promise proved to be faulty and the pro-
phecy remains unfulfilled, the idealism
that advanced this notion must, and
does endure.
John Foster Dulles said “the world
will never have lasting peace so long as
man reserve for war the finest human
qualities. Peace, no less than war, re-
quires idealism and self-sacrifice and a
righteous and dynamic faith.’’ Veterans
Day is a good day to highlight these
ideals so that we may nurture and build
the foundations for a lasting peace of
noble and universal dimensions. To
work to this end will not be easy, but

As we reflect upon the many feats of
heroism displayed by American ser-
vicemen and women on and off the bat-
tlefield, we cannot help but collectively
remember the more than one million in-
dividuals who have kept burning the
flame of freedom and held open the
door of opportunity, with their very
lives. The willingness of some to give
their lives so that others might live,
always seems to evoke in us a sense of
amazement and respect. But, it was the
human qualities of bravery, compas-
sion, imagination, industry, ingenuity,
as well as fear that spurned these in-
dividuals on. And for this selfless devo-
tion and sacrifice, we should all be eter-
nally grateful.
On Veterans Day we will pause to
reminisce and thank all the men and
women who have served our nation so
well. We will never know the doubt, the
loneliness, the hardship these individuals
felt, but bravely faced. However, our
veteran’s commitment and devotion to
duty and country is appreciated more
than they could possibly know.
President Abraham Lincoln spoke at
Gettysburg of dedication, commitment,
sacrifice and of the “...unfinished
work... thus far so nobly advance.”
Veterans Day is a day to remember our
unfinished work and to renew our com-
mitment never to rest until we have
achieved our dream of an everlasting
peace.

Klansman sets up computer network
Jack Anderson
WASHINGTON —
The nation's organized
bigots have gone state-of-
the-art: According to an
Internal Revenue Service
intelligence report, ex-
tremist groups like the Ku
Klux Klan and Aryan Na-
tions have set up a nation-
wide computer network to
exchange information.
The service is the brain-
child of former Texas
Klan Grand Dragon I ouis
Beam Jr., according to the
IRS report, which
describes Beam as " a
“violent, anti-Semitic
ambassador-at-large” for
the Aryan Nations^ a
. church-based white
supremacist movement.
The computer network is
based in a Beam relative’s
West Virginia home;
subscribers can plug into it
, with a personal computer
and phone hookup.
Beam is just one key
player in the “identity”
church organization,
described by the IRS as a
“spurious Christian
movement’’ whose
members believe that
white Anglo-Saxons, not
Jews, are the “true Israel
and God’s chosen
people.” Though small in
numbers, the movement is
powerful, according to the
IRS.
“The danger posed by
the ‘identity’ movement
lies not so much in the size
of its membershp figures
but rather in the potential
in its use of religious
themes to advance bigotry
and promote racial
violence,” the IRS report
explains, adding:
“At their conventions
and convocations, as well
as their survival training

sessions, the leaders and
members are preaching
and teaching, ‘Do not pay
taxes.’ I hey arc also very
outspoken against IKS
representatives and ad-
vocate eliminating them.”
The IRS report links the
identity movement to
chapters of the klan. the
Aryan Nations, Posse
C omitatus, the ( hristian
Defense I ea g u e ( a
virulently anti Semitic
group organized around a
Louisiana church) and the
paramilitary survivalist
C hristian Patriots-Defense
League, the last group
fights “Zionism and com-
munism” and has two
paramilitary bases where
it offers instruction m
knife fighting', improvised
explosives, handguns and
“Concealment of
Valuables and
Weaponry.”
The IRS manual, ob
tamed by our reporter
David Davis, traces the
history of the Klan move-
ment back to its founding
by six hooded men on
C hristmas 1 ve. 1865. in
Pulaski, Ten n
1 horoughlv decentralized
today, the movement’s
various Klan orders don’t
cooperate with each other,
but they do with other
identity church groups,
the IRS reports
“Io establish a Klan
group, one declares
himself the leader, outfits
himself in the uniform,
consisting of the robe,
hood and mask (satin
material is preferred, it is
said), and secures sta-
tionery with a blood red
logo,” tfie IRS manual ex-
plains "As the leader, he
then persuades several
friends to secure the so-
called klan uniform and
join his group ”
Many Klan chd| iers
conduct guerilla warfare
exercises and maintain
paramilitary bases, the
IRS report states.
