Gary Yarbrough, a courageous member of The Order, or Bruder Schweigen, fought for his people before he was arrested, and has refused to cave in to decades of torture and mistreatment while being held as a prisoner of war by the federal government. He is now gravely ill. Especially for those younger readers of The Roper Report who may not be aware of who he is, please honor The Order and Gary Yarbrough by educating yourselves.
5 NEO-NAZIS GET STIFF SENTENCES FOR CRIME SPREE
BY WALLACE TURNER, SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK TIMES
PUBLISHED: FEBRUARY 7, 1986
SEATTLE, Feb. 6— Five members of a racist, right-wing group that purportedly sought to overthrow the United States Government were sentenced today to prison terms ranging from 40 to 100 years.
The members of the neo-Nazi group, the Order, were convicted under a Federal antiracketeering statute. Federal investigators had accused the group of carrying out a series of violent acts, including murder and armored car robberies, in an attempt to bring about a racist revolution.
One of the five defendants, Gary Lee Yarbrough, 30 years old of Sandpoint, Idaho., told Federal District Judge Walter T. McGovern that no matter what happened in court today, the movement would grow. ”Blood will flow and it grieves me,” he said.
Mr. Yarbrough said he and his fellow defendants had been convicted in ”a political trial” conducted by ”a greedy, corrupt system.” He called himself ”just a common man, worldly dumb but spiritually wise’….”
Gary Yarbrough has been in prison for 33 years, and even though he committed crimes none of them involved harming other human lives. In 2009, he was given a parole date of 2014. Then in 2010, that parole date was vacated on the grounds of “association.” This association was cited on posts made on public forums (Stormfront noted in the Notice of Action). At the time of this Notice of Action, Gary Yarbrough was in Florence ADX, which is a SuperMax without any internet access. This Notice of Action was based on posts made by people that Gary Yarbrough did not know, and he couldn’t even view these posts. It is unconstitutional to hold somebody accountable for somebody else’s views and postings. You cannot hold a person in prison or change their parole date without Due Process or based on something that somebody else wrote. Gary Yarbrough has not had one write up in 8 years. He was 28-years-old when he went to prison, and he is now 62-years-old and in ill health. He never did an act of violence towards any single person. I have known violent offenders to do less time than he has. Additionally, it is illegal to violate his Constitutional rights, even though he is a prisoner. It is time to let Gary Yarbrough come home. (Paraphrased from Gary’s closed Change.org site.)
