Final_Judgment

Describing her "research" into the origins of Final Judgment and citing her
so-called findings, Milchiker, at one point, referred to me as "William Collins
Piper," showing precisely how adequate her research really is. Milchiker
called herself a "scientist" (and is thus presumably able to read) but she didn't
respond when an Orange County taxpayer angrily called out, asking her "Did
you read the book?" when Milchiker was attempting to explain (without
any documentation whatsoever) why Final Judgment simply could not be
believed.
Rolling into the meeting, Milchiker had been confident that Frogue was
on his way out. What a surprise she had in store. Ultimately, Milchiker
claimed the theory in Final Judgment was "scientifically unprovable" and
"outrageous" and "preposterous" but didn't demonstrate why. Nor could
she. In the end, another board member, Dorothy Fortune, speaking in
Frogue's defense, publicly accused Milchiker—who is Jewish—of "playing
the religion card for political gain." So Frogue was re-elected.
Yet, the ADL had another card up its sleeve. Using a retired minister,
Buckner Coe, as its front man, the ADL orchestrated a recall drive against
Frogue. Although the effort failed to gather the required signatures of
35,000 college district voters by March of 1998, an "anonymous" source
came up with a $10,000 donation and the recall drive was reinvigorated
At that juncture, the ADL attempted to forge a "united front" against
Frogue, roping a variety of special interest groups, including Asian-
American, Latino, Black and homosexual rights activists into backing the
recall. Although that gimmick likewise failed to generate any further
interest, the ADL refused to give up and called on a host of prominent
Southern California politicians including two GOP members of Congress—
Reps. Dana Rohrabacher and Christopher Cox—to demand Frogue's
ouster. Along with other Republican functionaries, the two lawmakers
joined with Democratic Party hacks to dip into their own campaign slush
accounts to help finance the ADL campaign to dislodge Frogue, generating
some $40,000 at a much-ballyhooed fund-raiser.
One Orange County resident, George Kadar, who formed an ad hoc
committee to rally support for Frogue was also subjected to media attacks.
In one instance, a newspaper reporter proclaimed that Kadar was, according to
the ADL, also "anti-immigrant" only to learn to her embarrassment that Kadar
was himself an immigrant who had fled the very communist "thought police"
of Eastern Europe whose tactics were being mimicked so well—echoed in
Orange County by the ADL and its allies.
In the midst of the anti-Frogue petition drive, one ADL member,
Harriet Walther, claimed that she was the victim of an "anti-Semitic" attack
outside the county registrar's office. Walther claimed people in the
registrar's office saw the incident but according to even the Orange County
Register's report on February 4, 1998, a supervisor in the office, Mai Kang,
said that, according to the Register, "no one saw the assault."
For my own part, at the height of the frenzy, I traveled to Orange
County to speak at a public meeting of the SOCCCD board of directors in
June of 1998. The event was a veritable media circus, with the press and
