Due to Mr. Kelsey's proud, anti-Semitic public remarks, CUSA will no longer be carrying the Kelsey canyoneering books.

It has been pointed out that there is "wiggle room" in identifying these remarks as anti-Semitic. I see virtually zero wiggle room, but people I know and love say they see some. So be it.

The following is the email that Mr. Kelsey sent out on January 5, 2009 to 60 email addresses, including worldservice.letters@bbc.co.uk.

To me, it speaks for itself:

 

from: Michael R. Kelsey to: (60 recipients) date: Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 6:28 PM subject: My Letter to the Editors of Utah papers Friends & Associates: Below is a letter I wrote recently to the 4 largest newspapers in Utah. Today the Provo Daily Herald printed my Israeli Letter #51 exactly as I wrote it--a small miracle of sorts? The Mormon-owned Deseret News printed most of it 1/2/2009, and the Ogden Standard Examiner promised to publish it this week. It tells you what's on my mind lately. Read it and trash it. That's OK. And speaking of Jews, this morning at 7:40am, CNBC had Henry Kissenger telling the American people how bad the Falistines were, and that it was all their fault for the fighting in Gaza (Never mind that it was the Jews/Zionist who invaded all of Falistine throughout the 1900's!, and who now control it all). Immediately after that, they interviewed David Stern, the commissioner of the NBA. He's another Jew, who at times, wears that silly-looking hat in public. He's trying to conquer the world via Basketball. And at Noon today, 1/5/2009, Gov. Jon Huntsman, who I used to admire until today, took the oath of office for the 2nd time. And as usual, with one hand on the bible. After that there were a number of other people sworn into office, all with one hand on a bible. But even before all the swearing took place, they had of all people, a F'ing Rabbi give the opening prayer. Never did see a Native American as part of the program, or in the crowd. So much for Liberty and JUSTICE FOR ALL. Tonight I saw on TV, the ceremony for the county commissioners and Peter Coroon, mayor of Salt Lake County--no bibles there, and no, "So Help Me ---" at the end. I tried to look up the percent of Utahn's who were Native Americans & Jews, but I guess the Census folk doesn't ask such questions. But I'll bet there's about 10 times more Native Americans in Utah than Jews. If 1.6% of Americans are Jewish, and they sort of control America; and America sort of controls the World, then what religious group sort of controls the World (the group I'm talking about, I believe, number about 20 million on the planet). Thanks for your time. MRK From Michael R. Kelsey Kelsey Publishing 456 E. 100 N. Provo, Utah, USA, 84606-3208 Tele & Fax 801-373-3327 Email Addresses--One of these should work! kelsey@canyoneering.com mrkelsey@iveracity.com Dear Editor January 2, 2008 Who says Israel has a right to exist? On November 29, 1947, the UN voted on the partition of Palestine. The vote was 33 approval (all Christian), 13 against (all Muslim plus Cuba & Greece) and 10 abstaining (all Christian except China). Biggest mistake in UN history! Of the 56 members of the UN that day, only 11 were muslim countries. Today there are 44 nations that are officially Muslim, plus another half dozen or so which are about half Muslim. If that vote were held today, it would never pass. The only reason it passed was because the world felt sorry for the Jews because of the Holocaust. As a result, Christendom pushed the world’s Jews into Palestine, which was already settled. This was when the USA adopted Israel as it’s 51st state, and supported it in all its wars. America’s biggest mistake! The result was 9/11/2001. Coincidentally, Hamas was voted into office democratically in Gaza. Now Israel has murdered Nizar Rayan, his 4 wives & 10 children, all in the name of GW Bush, who can’t do it himself because American law forbids assassination. I say Israel has no right to exit, and the sooner it disappears, the better. Sincerely Michael R. Kelsey
