DENVER - A 12-year-old audio tape of an angry answering machine message left by Ward Churchill has surfaced.
Much of the audio is unintelligible, but a person identifies himself as Ward Churchill on the tape.
The message was left on Vernon Bellecourt's answering machine in 1993. Bellecourt is a leader of the American Indian Movement.
Churchill severed ties with the organization.
Bellecourt said he felt threatened by the message, but he never filed a police report.
You can listen to a portion of it by clicking at right.
The transcript is as follows:
"You siphoned a half million ripped off from Gadhafi.
How many other thousand dollars have you taken from the native people's struggles?
You keep it up and I won't just stand and look at you next time.
You understand what I'm saying fat boy turned skinny?
You decrepit old (expletive)"
Ah...but a soon-to-be-wealthy punk, liar, thief, fraud, etc., etc...
I wonder if this guy has scammed any money from the BIA, with his fake Indian claim?
I kept a sweet message from an ex-boyfriend for about 2 months but 12 years!!!!!!!!!
You noticed this too. Wasn't there some 1970s vintage picture of members of this group in which one member was brandishing an AK some 10 years prior to the year the first semi auto variants were available in the US?
Siphoned off, huh? Maybe the guy just wanted to return some of the 'original' Ward Churchill's that he purchased?
And those are his good traits.
This tape along with the letter to his X in-laws. Wonder how many other threats there are out there? ....... Is there a psychologist in the house?
