August 17, 2023, 2022, and 2021 Checkmates ADL’s Leo Frank Lies
Insert Pages 3-4 of Newsletter #10
2023: ADL’s Greenblatt Gets “Community-Noted” on X
The humiliation of Jonathan Greenblatt, boss at the Jewish pressure/censorship group, the ADL (which was founded in large part to defend sex murderer Leo Frank), continues on the leading social media platform, X.
Every August 17, Greenblatt posts a commemoration of Leo Frank’s hanging, falsely claiming that Frank was innocent and also falsely claiming that Frank was convicted based on “anti-Semitism.” But, due to increasing awareness of the facts of the Leo Frank case, and the rise of truth-telling Web sites like littlemaryphagan.com and others, the experience has not been one that is likely to please Greenblatt. Gone are the days when the ADL and other Jewish groups, with their strong allies in all major media corporations, could suppress free speech on the case.
We reported (see below) on the hiding Greenblatt got at the hands of Twitter users (Twitter has been renamed X by its new owner, Elon Musk) back in 2021. The vast majority of the hundreds of comments Greenblatt received were from users outraged that he was “celebrating the legacy” of a sick child abuser and murderer. The same thing happened on a larger scale in 2022, but Greenblatt was somehow able to pressure pre-Musk Twitter into deleting most of the critical comments.
But with Musk at the helm — and after Musk declared himself to be in favor of free speech on the platform — Greenblatt decided not to take any chances and himself turned off comments on his own post! That’s humiliation number one.
Then came humiliation number two — the semi-official volunteer fact-checkers at X added what is called a Community Note to Greenblatt’s pro-Frank posting, factually stating that Leo Frank had been duly convicted and still stands adjudged guilty of murdering 13-year-old Mary Phagan, and giving links to their sources for those facts. Here’s one of the links; quite worthwhile: https://moejacobs.medium.com/the-leo-frank-case-in-the-midst-of-a-jewish-gentile-culture-war-2027700a3be8
It’s likely that Greenblatt and the ADL then applied pressure to have the Community Note removed, and this has caused internal strife at X, since the Note disappeared, then reappeared again a few hours later, then disappeared again. Regardless of whether the Note comes back or not, Greenblatt’s — and the ADL’s — humiliation is complete. The truth is out there now. The people know. Greenblatt’s promotion of the ADL’s fake news about the Leo Frank case will not be allowed to continue without vigorous public critique and opposition.
2022: ADL Narrative and Jonathan Greenblatt Questioned AGAIN on Twitter — We are Making an Impact
Again, we are seeing the official narrative on the Leo Frank case being questioned — and directly questioning the pro-Frank forces themselves — Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL. This is taking place on Twitter where more and more people are speaking the truth on who really murdered Mary Phagan in 1913. Despite the evidence, several groups and especially the ADL, want to clear Frank’s name and declare him innocent. As one commenter says, just search for the article, “100 Reasons Leo Frank is Guilty,” and you’ll get the real story — at least the true facts on the case and you can come to your own conclusion after reading these.
Not only are these Tweets inspiring and tell us that we are making a difference, but the ADL article is even admitting that Mary Phagan was raped and mentioning that his exoneration did not actually prove his innocence — both topics which are hotly contested between pro- and anti-Frank forces. Check it out below!
Original Greenblatt Tweet:
Twitter replies:
2021: Making an Impact: ADL Narrative Highly Questioned on Twitter
We have literally never seen this level of questioning of the official narrative on the Leo Frank case before. This is truly extraordinary. After the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) published one of their typical pieces on Twitter promoting the endlessly repeated idea that Leo Frank was innocent and a victim of “anti-Semitism,” the response of people on Twitter was overwhelmingly against what the ADL was saying.
https://twitter.com/ADL/status/1427653695689289729
Out of hundreds of replies, over 95% by our count, were critical of, even mocking, the “received narrative.” Truth-telling websites such as this one, as well as https://theamericanmercury.org/, https://leofrank.info/ and https://www.leofrank.org/ are truly making a major difference!
Just in case the Tweets or the thread gets taken down, here are the links to many of the responses:

January: 2024 Fani Willis, Fulton County DA under scrutiny
March 15, 2024
Judge McAfee Ruling:
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been given the green light to remain the lead prosecutor in the high-profile investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. This decision comes despite explosive allegations of impropriety due to a prior romantic relationship with a prosecutor she hired to lead the case. However, the endorsement from the judge comes with a notable caveat: special prosecutor Nathan Wade must resign from the case for it to proceed smoothly. Nathan Wade resigned after the ruling was announced.
Despite the defense’s allegations of a financial benefit stemming from her relationship with Wade, the court found no evidence that Willis had financially benefited from the case. “The evidence demonstrated that the financial gain flowing from her relationship with Wade was not a motivating factor on the part of the District Attorney to indict and prosecute,” McAfee ruled, dismantling the core argument for Willis’ disqualification.
The ruling carries significant implications for the progression of the case, which charges Trump and several co-defendants with attempting a criminal enterprise to unlawfully reverse the state’s election results. The controversy surrounding Willis and Wade had threatened to disrupt or derail the case, potentially affecting its trajectory ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Now, with Judge McAfee’s decision, Willis can continue to build upon the more than two years of investigation into the case.
In striking detail, the courtroom heard intimate aspects of Willis’ personal life, including testimony from Willis herself, who fiercely defended her role. “You think I’m on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020,” she asserted. The district attorney has also been accused of misconduct by former Trump campaign aide Mike Roman, but Willis maintained her professional integrity throughout the proceedings.
As the case presses on, four of Trump’s original co-defendants have already pleaded guilty, while the rest, including the former president, await their fate in a state where they are accused of engaging in actions like promoting a “fake elector” scheme and pressuring officials, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, to manipulate the election outcome.

Timeline: Fulton County DA Fani Willis, Nathan Wade controversy
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - An allegation by one of former President Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case is threatening to delay the prosecution of the former president and the remaining co-defendants. Former White House aide Michael Roman has accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of having an "improper, clandestine relationship" with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade and benefiting when Wade then paid for the two of them to go on vacations.
Feb. 10, 2021: Willis sends a letter to top Georgia officials, informing them of her initiation of a criminal investigation into possible interference in the state's 2020 general election. In the letter, she instructs them to preserve evidence, without explicitly naming former President Donald Trump. The recipients of the letters include Gov. Brian Kemp, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, Attorney General Chris Carr, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
Nov. 1, 2021: Willis hires Wade as a special prosecutor in the investigation. While she reportedly offered the job to several other Georgia attorneys, including former Gov. Roy Barnes and former federal prosecutor Gabe Banks, they declined due to the time the case would require and the politically incendiary nature of the case.
Nov. 2, 2021: Wade files for divorce against his wife, Joycelyn Wade, in Cobb County Superior Court.
Jan. 20, 2022: Wade requests Fulton County Superior Court to impanel a special purpose grand jury to investigate possible attempts to disrupt the 2020 election.

October-November 2022: On Oct. 4, Wade spends more than $1,300 for three American Airlines tickets to Miami for himself, Willis, and Clara Bowman, according to credit card statements.

Jan. 8, 2024: An attorney for defendant Michael Roman files a motion seeking to disqualify the DA’s office from the case because of an alleged romantic relationship between Willis and Wade. The court filing states that because Wade paid for trips they took together, Willis benefited financially from the arrangement.

The DA’s office says they will reply in a court filing but doesn’t indicate when that will be.
Jan. 12: U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) announces an investigation into Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Jan. 14: Willis defends Wade during a 35-minute speech at the historic Big Bethel AME Church. She calls him a "superstar, a great friend and a great lawyer," but does not confirm or deny a romantic relationship. She suggests racism is behind the accusations that he is not qualified to be a special prosecutor, noting that critics targeted Wade, who is Black, and not the two other special prosecutors on the Trump case, who are white.
Jan. 18: Willis seeks a protective order to stop her from having to give a deposition in the Wades’ divorce. Willis accuses Joycelyn Wade of "interfering" with the Trump prosecution and says her allegations are meant to harass and embarrass Willis.
