Revision as of 05:48, 5 September 2012
Fritz Artz Springmeier is an American researcher, historian, and religious author, formerly a resident of Corbett, Oregon, who has written a number of books claiming that satanic forces are behind a move toward world domination by various families and organizations. He has described his goal as "exposing the New World Order agenda." As evidenced by George Bush Sr., who publicly promoted the New World Order when he was President [1].
In 2003, Springmeier was framed and sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was convicted on the testimony of a bank robber who claimed Springmeier visited his house on the same day the man discussed the robbery with two accomplices. He spent 8 years in prison. When he was initially indicted and brought before Federal Judge Ann J Brown she said, "I'm going to release this man, until trial, because there is absolutely no evidence against him and there never was."[2] He was later convicted on circumstantial evidence of hearsay testimony from the culprits who for lying in court received lesser sentences than Springmeier. [3] Springmeier was released from prison on March 25th, 2011. [3]
Conspiracy theories
Springmeier has written and self-published a number of books based on the ideology of what's been described as an "ultra-right-wing group" called the Christian Patriot Association;[4] this group was shut down in 2002 after convictions for tax fraud and tax evasion.[5] He has endorsed the plausibility of Project Monarch, a purported Central Intelligence Agency mind control project whose conjectured existence is based only on the testimony of Cathy O'Brien under hypnosis.[6][7]
Springmeier's early work, The Watchtower & the Masons, focuses on the relationship between Jehovah's Witnesses and Freemasonry. In this book he describes a relationship between Charles Taze Russell and the so-called "Eastern Establishment". Springmeier followed these links into Masonry and did a further examination of the Eastern establishment.[citation needed]
Criminal conviction
On January 31, 2002, Springmeier was indicted in the United States District Court in Portland, Oregon[8] in connection with an armed robbery. On February 12, 2003, he was found guilty of one count of armed bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2113(a) and (d) and one count of aiding and abetting in the use of a semi-automatic rifle during the commission of a felony in violation of 18 U.S.C § 924(c)(1).[9][10] In November 2003, he was sentenced to 51 months in prison on the armed robbery charge and 60 months on the aiding and abetting charge, fined $7,500, ordered to pay $6,488 in restitution, and assessed an additional $200.[11] Springmeier's conviction was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.[12] He was imprisoned, and was released from federal prison on March 25, 2011.[13][14]
