Note from Rayelan:
This is from the woman who wrote the first note: I wrote her back a few
times. All correspondence between us is included her...
Here is one thing she said that I wholeheartedly agree with:
The families also suffer greatly when a spouse is placed in prison.
I know what it is like to be the wife of a political prisoner... it feels
the same as being the wife of ANY prisoner. It is the most painful thing you
will ever go through. You don't know from day to day if your loved one is dead
or alive. I went through it for 9 years as Gunther's wife... and to this day,
I still don't know if he is dead or alive.
This thread starts with her reply to my request for more information.
Most of the old mails are either on disk or my old computer, so I'll try
sometime this week to see if I can find some of this. He mostly reported to a
small group about his arrest, trial, etc. I did not put these on the Webpage,
only after he went to Federal Prison. You can see by what he wrote below, he
had been in prison one month on March 12, 2003. His page is getting a lot of
hits, so probably would be a good idea to put more of his story up there.
I'll get back to you later on this. Oh, I also have information on Jason
Vale on my main Index page, he is in Federal prison for selling apricots
seeds.

Letter To My Friends From Prison
by Fritz Springmeier
March 12,
2003
It has been one month since I was handcuffed in court and dragged away in
chains into the belly of the Beast. Hebrews 5:8 teaches us that Christ
?learned obedience by the things which He suffered.? Suffering served the
purposed of teaching submission.
Further along in the Word of God (1 PTR 4:12) we learn, ?Beloved, do not
think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though
some strange thing happened to you.? In other words, suffering is normal,
expect it, deal with it and move on with your life.
My court battles continue. I hope for a new trial to replace my first one
where I was not defended. My attorney was willing to attack the prosecutor?s
witnesses, but not to call any witnesses or point out any positives on my
behalf.
There are many scriptures that speak to my heart, including PSALM 43:1,
?Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; oh,
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.?
It goes without saying that prison cramps my style of living. Many of the
books I had hoped to write and publish may never get done. It is forbidden for
me to make money from inside prison.
God is still in control and I encourage all of us to discover what He is
doing through all this. Hopefully, the time I am doing will help put to rest
some of the absurd stories that have circulated about me. Unfortunately, it is
now giving an opportunity for a rash of new dishonest stories from a different
angle. As in PS 38:16, when my foot slipped, there were plenty of ungodly
persons exalting themselves against me. ??justice is far from us, nor does
righteousness overtake us; we look for light, but there is darkness!? Is. 59:9
a.
This is a difficult time for many people. As the Word says, ?Be of good
courage.? Let us love each other and love our good Lord. It will be OK because
God is here beside us.
Please remember my wife Patty. She is the equivalent of a war widow.
Perhaps if I had merely died, it would allow her to move on with her life. But
she has the burden of being my helpmate while enduring the loss of her beloved
husband.
We?re riding through the ups and downs of life, but I feel victorious in
Christ. So be of good courage my friends, but don?t trust in the jury process.
Yours in Christ,
Fritz Springmeier

Thank you for explaining and for all of this information. I think you are
saying that the information is old?? Is he already in jail? Can you bring me
up to date. If you could, can you please keep us updated on Fritz. The article
attached to that story is no longer available. Was it an old article or a new
one. When was he arrested. When was he tried. How long has he been in prison?

Sorry Rayelan,
Below is a copy of article posted by Mailbag on Rumor Mill, the article I
was responding to. I have corresponded with Fritz in the past, but have not
heard from him for awhile, but his address in prison is on my GeoCities
website.
I just went on my old computer this morning and here is his wife's last
known address, since her E-mail address no longer works, I can only assume
that she is having financial problems. The families also suffer greatly when a
spouse is placed in prison.
Her Address:
Patricia Springmeier
2870 NE Hogan Rd., #E135
Gresham, OR 97030
His Address:
Fritz Springmeier 65941-065
FDC Sheridan
P.O. Box 6000
Sheridan, OR 97378

I was not hurling accusations against you, but bring to your attention that
Mailbag didn't know much about the case. I'll be writing to Fritz this week to
try to find out the latest on his case. I'll post to his page when I get
another update. I spend most of my time helping prisoners and families, don't
get paid for this and have no real income. On GeoCities I use my other E-mail
address: freedomring@justice.com
Thank you for a great Website, I discovered your writings back in the
Conspiracy Nation days.
Hope this helps, Janice
Article from RMN:
FRITZ SPRINGMEIR SENT TO FEDERAL PRISON
Posted By: Mailbag
Date: Friday, 14 November 2003, 8:52 p.m.
Rayelan please post this on Rumor Mill News. This is a total setup of
Fritz since he spoke out about the actions of the Illuminati and their scumbag
agenda. Now Fritz will be a political prisoner for the next nine years. GOD
knows if he will ever make it out alive. Please pass this on to all the people
that you know to expose this railroad job by our NWO government on people that
dare to tell the truth like Fritz.
Sincerely,

Bank robbers might have been home grown terrorists
![]()
PORTLAND - A list of possible terror targets compiled by an ultra-right
wing group, including government buildings and other facilities were made
public Thursday as a federal judge sentenced a Portland area man for his part
in a 1997 bank robbery. After the sentencing of Fritz Springmeier, a
self-described religious author, Clackamas County Sheriff deputies revealed a
loose-leaf binder seized in 2001 as a part of the case.
Springmeier, a white separatist known for his anti-government writings will
serve 9 years in federal prison. Federal Judge James Redden characterized the
robbery that included the detonation of a pipe bomb as a diversion as
"vicious."
Among the locations handwritten in the binder entitled "Army of God,
Yahweh's Warriors, were the federal building, FBI offices, and KATU studios in
Portland.

While I know the charges against him are a fraud -- how is RMN PART of the
fraud? Do you know him? Do you have inside information? Can you put us in
touch with his new wife?
You note is NOT very helpful to the situation. If you want to help you
should think about adding something to the conversation rather than hurling
accusations at me!
Rayelan, Publisher!

The charges against Fritz Springmeier were a total fraud, and just posted
