John Sharpe (publisher)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Forrest Sharpe, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a former submarine officer and media spokesman for the Atlantic Fleet, is the author and publisher of numerous articles and books on the economic theory of distributism. He is chairman of the publishing house IHS Press in Virginia; the vice-chairman is Derek Holland. IHS Press and the Legion of St. Louis (LSL), another publishing entity run by Sharpe that sells books such as Henry Ford's "The International Jew" and Michael A. Hoffman II's "Strange Gods of Judaism," are on the list of hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center.
[edit] Controversies over alleged racist views
On March 7, 2007, John Sharpe was temporarily relieved of duty pending a Navy inquiry into allegations that he was involved in supremacist activities[1]
In 2008, the Catholic University of America canceled a lecture series in which Sharpe was to speak after the Southern Poverty Law Center claimed Sharpe is anti-Semitic, though no review of his written opinion had occurred. [2]
