http://www.ungodlybook.com/While society turned a blind eye for more than three decades, Dwight York -- a.k.a. Dr. Malachi Z. York, Imam Isa -- devolved into a sexual predator of unprecedented proportions. He became the target of what prosecutors believe was the largest child molestation prosecution in United States history, in terms of numbers of victims and potential numbers of crimes, ever directed at a single person. When he was finally indicted, state prosecutors literally had to cut back the number of counts listed -- from well beyond a thousand to slightly more than 200 -- because they feared a jury simply wouldn't believe the magnitude of York's evil."
Half the author's royalties will be donated to a fund for the assistance of York's victims.

The Macon Telegraph/May 20, 2007
By Joe Kovac Jr.
....The tone of that breezy write-up in Time nearly eight years ago — and its understandably limited perception of what was truly transpiring in the pyramid pasture — persists even to this day. Even after the horrors that took place there have come to light.
The man from planet Rizq, or, as Dwight D. York is now known, inmate No. 17911-054 at the supermax federal prison in Florence, Colo., was such a master manipulator that his most despicable acts are sometimes glossed over in memory.
We tend to remember the pyramids, then the perversion and only then the imprisonment. And it hasn’t been that long. If you ask, most folks don’t know how many years York was sentenced to serve in prison. Or that he is now living under the same roof as Terry Nichols, Eric Robert Rudolph, Zacarias Moussaoui and Theodore Kaczynski. Or that he was sent there for 135 years for molesting 14 boys and girls as well as for racketeering.
Or, necessarily, that he was, as author Bill Osinski’s new book refers to York, the target of “the largest child molestation prosecution … ever directed at a single suspect.”
In “Ungodly: A True Story of Unprecedented Evil,” Osinski probes York’s diabolical underbelly, one that for the longest time too many overlooked. We laughed at York’s spaceship hooey and flea-market architecture. York and his cult were akin to the image of those who hawk pamphlets at urban traffic-light intersections. For an instant, we often wonder “what’s their deal?” before rolling by.
Though York and his followers often claimed they were not a religious sect, it was freedom of religion, which Osinski duly notes, that in some ways afforded York carte blanche.
Osinski, who covered the Nuwaubian saga for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and came to know many of its key players, chronicles York’s early days as a pimpish New York hustler who deifies himself to reap riches under the guise of religion and communal purity.
As a GBI administrator, in hindsight, tells Osinski, “When someone wraps themself in the cloak of religion, law enforcement can sometimes become cautious.”
“What (York) came up with,” Osinski writes, “was called the United Nation of Nuwaubian Moors, a concept composed of an extra-large dose of Egyptian schlock, served with a side dish of intergalactic mumbo jumbo.”
....Bob Moser of the Southern Poverty Law Center tells Osinski, “Once you accept Dwight York is special, then you automatically have to subordinate yourself to that authority.”
Moser calls York’s cult “definitely a black supremacist group,” and he says race was another factor that kept followers flowing in. And their allegations of harassment by predominantly white law enforcers assured them a place in the all-important publicity-stirring spotlight. (Howard Sills, the Putnam sheriff who is among the book’s heroes, says that in reality “the only racial issue was that every victim York preyed upon was black.”) ....The book notes, too, how the Nuwaubian shtick drew high-profile black leaders — the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton among them — to hear claims of perceived racial injustice. Macon Mayor Jack Ellis even had his picture taken, with Jackson, at York’s property in 2001.
In an interview with York’s son, Malik, the author gets to the heart of what turns out to have been a scam perpetrated by a heartless soul.
Malik York says his father once told him, “I don’t believe any of this (expletive.) If I had to dress up like a nun, if I had to be a Jew, I’d do it for this kind of money.”
As York is said to have told someone close to him, “It’s all about the packaging.”The man was so “out there,” at least to the casual observer, that his weirdness somehow still reigns. So much so that even in hindsight it is hard to grasp the nefariousness he wrought.
Maybe, in the end, it was whack-job discountability that York sought, a smokescreen behind which to run his game.
Perhaps it was York’s persona, clownish and hokey to the hilt — scoffed at and written off as cuckoo by the masses — that greased the way for him to soil the innocence of so many....
