http://www.infowars.com/opeduk.html INFOWARS.COM'S RESPONSE TO RED COAT MISINFORMATION Alec Russell Editor Foreign Bureau London Telegraph Dear Mr. Russell, You are clearly misrepresenting the Gray family in your publication. Rather than sensationalizing a sensitive situation (thus endangering/damaging the Grays) to sell your newspapers, I suggest you do some real research. I am particularly concerned about your reporter's statement "Religious fanatics with a huge arsenal of weapons have barricaded themselves inside a compound, vowing to shoot themselves rather than surrender." To my knowledge the Grays have said nothing about killing themselves and this statement is out-right slander. Above all, they have made enormous efforts to ensure their grandchildren's safety, building them an underground shelter and clearly marking it "Kids Inside" to protect them from gunfire, should the police attack their home (and family). Also in the above sensationalist sentence, perhaps you could tell me: what, to you, constitutes,a religious fanatic? The seventeen people on the Gray's farm are all family members. So, where you have done your best to spin the Grays as a "cult", the fact of the matter is, they are all together on their farm because they are FAMILY. Now --can you please tell me exactly what arsenal of weapons are you citing? The Grays have a Constitutional Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. I am sure if you visited most farms or ranches in Texas you would find a similar "arsenal" of firearms -- nothing more than the usual sidearms and rifles law-abiding citizens maintain to protect themselves and their property. Your reporter clearly misrepresents Mr. Gray in the following sentence, "Their leader is John Joe Gray, 51, self-appointed leader of the Embassy of Heaven Church, a militant sect that rejects all forms of government control." John Joe Gray's only affiliation with the Embassy of Heaven Church is that he purchased a driver's license from that church (rather than participating in the US National ID card system, which, despite having been thrown out of Congress three times, has been implemented in the State of Texas). Mr. Gray is not even a member of the Embassy of Heaven Church, which, by the way, does not believe in maintaining or using firearms. Your reporter has blatantly lied by saying Mr. Gray is the church's leader. The leader of the Embassy of Heaven Church is Pastor Paul Revere, which your reporter probably well knows, since the on-line version of your publication provided a hyperlink to the Embassy of Heaven Church's web site next to his article. Finally, John Joe Gray has no record of being "a volatile man." I would like to know where your reporter came up with this misguided speculation about Mr. Gray and what led your publication to bring it to print. Furthermore, I would like to know how your publication can justify printing this incredibly inaccurate, slanderous and damaging hit-piece on Mr. Gray and his family without making any attempt to contact him, or anyone who might have been able to speak about the truth of the situation in Trinidad, Texas. If you are interested in leaning the truth about the Gray family, please read the Press Release below and contact Alex Jones (a nationally syndicated talk radio host who has been working with the Grays for years).
