(Posted on behalf of Jack Gilbride, an excerpt from his book "A Fathers Sacrifice") Dear: Zack: Your father wanted to offer you the opportunity for you to be your own man someday and to decide for yourself the type of life that you would someday live. Your father and I had many discussions in which he told me how much he wanted to be with you but could not because your mother refused for you and your father to be alone together. Your father realized that if you were to be together with him, your mothers plans for your future would be threatened because you would see other views of the world that she did not approve of — views that most normal people are exposed to as children. I remember the last time you and I were together. We were talking together in the family room of your home in Cherry Hill, sitting in a chair across from each other. I reminded you that you, your father and I all have the same blood — that we are in the same true family. I explained to you that you have a large family outside of this home that want to meet you someday. However, your mother has disallowed it because you might decide for yourself to pursue a life differently from the one she wants for you. During the past couple of years, I have had the time to review the short life you had with your father. What your father wanted for you, your mother, and for himself was a life separate from MOVE, which is why he moved your family to Cherry Hill. Unfortunately, that was impossible. Your father had the courage to do things, which someday I hope you will eventually have the same courage to do. No matter what I have written here, you will never completely understand what your father went through because of his love for you. You are a miracle child, and that is not a term I use lightly. The reason I have written this book is that I do not want you to ever doubt that your father loved you. I have two goals for this book. One is for you to know that your father loved you. Second, my goal is to explain what he did for you, considering the suffering he went through because he would never let go of you. Thus, MOVE attacked him, his family, and his place of work. As for you, please seek the truth when you are old enough to do so. Love, Grandpa, John Gilbride

After reading your virulently pro-establishment missives here, I went to the account, in the Inquirer, of your "joining" and subsequently "leaving" MOVE along with your wife. I must say its pretty pathetic. Not that you're obviously an infiltrator, because (it would be irrationally hubristic to sneer at the functions of the state)--but your cover story! How did you ever fool anyone?

this site is proof per usual that many americans are so helplessly dependent upon a wretched system that they would die defending its lies and crimes. Mr Allen, do you honestly believe your own BS, or that of others who seemed to have convinced you that Mumia is a cold blooded killer? You truly believe NINE people killed James Ramp with ONE bullet? and from behind, even though they were in a house in front of him ( the bullet entered from behind )?
You deny truth, even though it's out there for you. You accept injustice and promote it through your witty blog entries that I'm sure have fooled many white americans....many philadelphians & residents of pennsylvania.

Move is not tricked into thinking people who come from this system are somehow not coming from this system. A cover story is not just believed. But for years Tony and Lori did an amazing job helping to shed light on the injustices of the Move 9 case, visiting the family in prison. At one point Tony did a thorough investigation of the trial, the attack at Powelton, the court transcripts, everything and even had constructed an impressive 3 dimensional diagram and model for the purposes of educating people about the inconsistant is with the police account. Lori was no less than stellar at doing event planning and fund raising. This guy who is trying to generate so much suspicion towards a revolutionary family who so obviously work hard to do good I will never be loved by the gilbrides, or the cops, because they are of a system that chews you up and spits you out. As long as you play ball your ok. If you sit and watch...fine. if you take up for the other team god help you. They will smear you and bully you and tear you to shreds just like they did John.
