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). You can find information (including the Gray family's
Press Release) and photos on his web site: www.infowars.com.
