Clay Douglas INTERVIEW of Cyndi Steele 12-07-10

1) Charges against First Amendment lawyer Edgar Steele, arrested at his home in North Idaho on 06-11-10?

Trumped up charges, allegations that he wanted to kill me and my mother; murder-for-hire is the technical charge.

2) Why do you say these are “trumped up” charges?

My husband, Edgar Steele, was framed with murder-for-hire charges by a confidential informant for the U.S. Government, named Larry Fairfax. Fairfax is the cousin of the famous comedian Bill Maher. The charges were trumped up to silence my husband, who has been an advocate for the politically incorrect for the last 12 years of his 27 year law practice career. The politically incorrect are those who are willing to say publicly that they do not agree with the Progressive/Socialist/Communist agenda being forced on Americans today (i.e., Patriots, that includes Veterans, housewives, the politically connected and ordinary citizens).

3) What do you mean when you say your husband has been an advocate for the Politically Incorrect?

He has represented people who subscribe to a political point of view that is not popular in this country. About 12 years ago, he began representing a group known as the Aryan Nation because they did not have a lawyer and he believed they needed representation. At that time, in the late 1990s, their headquarters were in Northern Idaho. He became the attorney for this group after turning them down as a client on three occasions, and finally agreed to defend them in a civil lawsuit brought by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), because he believed in our American rights to Freedom of Speech and saw that Richard Butler was being attacked solely because of his beliefs. Since then, members of the SPLC, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and people such as Idaho State Judge James Michaud, have falsely branded my husband as the “Leader” of the Aryan Nations, in order to justify their extreme prejudice and hostile actions against him and me and my family. In the past 10 years, the ADL has issued death threats against my husband, to our children personally, and to me personally, telling me the FBI wouldn’t do anything about it if we were killed because the FBI wanted us dead. First, my husband is not, and never has been, the leader of the Aryan Nation – nor has he ever been a member of that group; he was just their lawyer. And, second, the FBI traced the phone call death threats to phones of the ADL and then refused to do anything about it even though making those death threat calls are federal felonies because they constitute EXTORTION and violate interstate commerce. Please understand that during the time my husband was representing the Aryan Nations in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Larry Fairfax started working for us. We have now learned that Fairfax had gone under cover at that time for the U.S. Gov’t., but, of course, we knew nothing of this at the time.

OPTION QUESTION: For Hoyt – Is there any proof that the SPLC is involved in the arrest of Edgar Steele?

Yes, first on the scene with political commentary by Mark Potok, director of the so-called Intelligence Project of the SPLC and Edgar Steele on their “ATTACK LIST” of people they want taken off the streets, and their celebratory article in their publication: Intelligence Report, they bragged about the arrest of Edgar Steele and made many false assertions about him. One thing is clear: Morris Dees and Mark Potok have targeted Edgar Steele falsely. Since the SPLC, with headquarters in Alabama, is supposed to be fighting poverty in the South and is going after people who commit hate crimes, it perceives itself as the Bully Buster. However, what we have here is the Bully Buster becoming the Bully. You see, they have him falsely grouped with Skinheads and say he is a murder; all apart of the process of targeting someone who does not agree with their ideology. The SPLC calls Edgar Steele an extremist, when Edgar’s political statement is “Equal rights for all, special rights for none.” It is the SPLC agenda that they want and expect special rights and it is the SPLC that are the extremists, The Bully Buster that has become the Bully.

4) Do you see any connection between the prosecution of your husband and the SPLC?

Yes, because immediately upon the arrest of my husband, a director of programs at the SPLC Mark Potok, was given a prominent position by the news media in providing his statement to the press which accused my husband of being a leader of the Aryan Nation; Idaho State part time, retired Judge, James Michaud told the authorities my husband was the leader of the Aryan Nations on June 15, 2010; Well, please understand that my husband, IS NOT and never will be, because he speaks for the rights of all Americans, such as the right to Freedom of Speech, no matter who they are. In fact, my husband’s favorite saying is “Equal rights for all, special rights for none.” Which means, that in his view, none of the races are supreme, all are a part of humanity and must be treated with equal dignity.

5) Why would someone want to put a lethal pipe bomb on your car?

It was Larry Fairfax, the man who accused my husband of trying to hire him to kill me. Fairfax was covering up the theft of $45,000 in silver from my husband’s and my savings. From May 28, 2010 to June 15th, or about three weeks as I drove through towns, past schools, into commercial and business areas filled with pedestrians and traffic, as I drove from my home in North Idaho through Washington State, to my mother’s home near Portland, OR.

This was the most shocking experience of my life on June 15th, to discover that there was a bomb on my car that could have killed me, my mom, daughter, my 2 year old granddaughter, my friends, and potentially any group of a thousand other people who had the misfortune of being near me when the bomb went off. Look, the government BATF&E Special Agent, Todd Smith, testified in a court hearing in June that this was the largest pipe bomb he had ever seen. If you consider a weapon that has the capacity to blow up many, many people at one time to be a Weapon of Mass Destruction, then this bomb fits the definition, it definitely was a Weapon of Mass Destruction, like the bomb the New York - Times Square Bomber tried to use! Only, the Times Square Bomber got a life sentence and Larry Fairfax, the Idaho Pipe Bomber, will probably serve less than year in prison.

6) Who knew that a pipe bomb or “Weapon of Mass Destruction” was attached to your car?

Well, Larry Fairfax admitted in a signed Court Plea Agreement filed in September that he manufacture two of these bombs and attached one to my car. That was three weeks before it was discovered by my oil change mechanic on June 15, 2010, just a few blocks from the Federal Court House in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

James Maher, brother of Bill Maher, the famous comedian, also knew about the pipe bomb because he, while acting as an accomplice of Larry Fairfax, traveled all the way from Idaho to Oregon on May 31, 2010 to “check” and see why the bomb had not blown me up. So, Mr. Maher was definitely informed about the bomb before he left Idaho as that was the sole purpose of the trip.

It seems that others in the Fairfax Gang also knew, but we don’t have the time to show who all those people are, except part time, retire Idaho State Judge, James Michaud, who had to know because he was the one who called the FBI to pave the way for his client to cooperate with the FBI on June 8th. In fact, the FBI says that neither Fairfax, the pipe bomber who was supposed to disclose all criminal activity, or his attorney, Judge Michaud, ever told the FBI about the bomb. In fact, the FBI says that the first time they learned that a bomb was involved in this case was when I discovered it, with the help of my mechanic, on June 15th. Well, that is a total lie, because the FBI had two tape recordings from June 9th and 10th when the word “bomb” was used and FBI Special Agent Mike Sotka says that he “didn’t hear it.” The champions of our safety, the premier investigators of crime here in the USA, the FBI didn’t hear the word “bomb” which was spoken a plain as day on their own tape, because I heard it when it was played for me and I pointed it out to Agent Sotka. The only thing he had to say for himself was, “I didn’t hear it.” So I had to drive around with a pipe bomb attached to my car because Special Agent Sotka is hard of hearing?

7) So what charges has the Gov’t brought against Larry Fairfax and James Maher?

Larry Fairfax has only been charged with possession and manufacturing of a bomb and is now being given a “soft plea” deal that will probably have him back on the streets in less than a year in prison. The prosecution refuses to properly charge Fairfax; especially with the attempted murder charge.

Well, then there is Mr. James Maher who is still my neighbor and he has been charged with nothing. He had the information to inform the police that there was a bomb attached to my car when he left Idaho on May 31st. He had the information where I was so that if he reported this criminal activity, the cops could have come to me immediately and pulled that pipe bomb off of my car two weeks before it was discovered weeks later; if James Maher really was not involved in this crime, he should have done ‘whatever it takes’ to see that I and everyone around me would have been safe from the risk of explosion of that pipe bomb that he knew about on his trip with Larry Fairfax to “check” on the bomb to see why it did not blow me up.

But, Mr. James Maher decided to be a cowboy and go with Fairfax from Idaho to Oregon, keeping secret the bomb because he was going to “check” on my car himself and he has not been charged with anything. Look, James Maher is free to put another bomb on my car any time he wants to, he lives somewhere near me, he is my neighbor. This is attempted murder and he could do it again. You know, he is not in jail or under any charges right now and he is a part of a murder plot, who what is the federal government thinking.

OPTION QUESTION for Hoyt: How do we know that Jim Maher brother of Bill Maher is involved.

Court filed documents say there is an accomplice who went with Fairfax on May 31st and ‘CHECKED” on the bomb. On September 19, 2010, an anonymous caller gave me his name as James Maher, who is a neighbor of the Steele and lives on the same road. In a conference on September 20, 2010, the next day, the Assistant US Attorney assigned to the case and the Supervising Special Agent of the FBI for Northern Idaho, confirmed that Jim Maher was the accomplice who accompanied Fairfax to Oregon, but said that they were not going to charge him with a any crimes.

8) This is the First case of its kind, where the victim is supporting the alleged perpetrator of a murder for hire crime. Your attorney tells me that he had checked and it has never happened before. So why are you defending your husband and why do you say he is innocent?

Because my husband is absolutely innocent and he could not have committed the crimes that the FBI accuses him of. In fact, this is reminiscent of the FAKE CRIMES that the FBI is accusing a lot of people of in what is now termed a Preemptive Prosecution. So I am raising money to help pay for my husband’s defense.
