 TROOPER ADMITS PLANTING 7 BOMBS TO ADVANCE HIS CAREER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Richards faces up to 70 years in federal prison for the hoaxes in which he and his bomb-sniffing dog found the planted bombs in courthouses and malls, and were hailed as heroes.

 "Controversy: Anarchists in the Spanish Revolution", by Sam Dolgoff
Since Richards' main source for his criticism of the anti-anarchist policies of the CNT-FAI governmental participation - are the anti-participation historians Jose Peirats and Gaston Leval (Level's Collectives in the Spanish Revolution was translated by Richards), I refer, in the main, to both Peirats and Leval to refute his contentions.
Richards' attempt to refute my statement that the CNT was so structured as to reduce the danger of bureaucracy to a minimum only shows that he does not know what he is talking about.
What is most disturbing is Richards' refusal to take these facts into account, instead misleading his readers by concocting a false account of the situation in Spain: selecting and twisting only the kind of "facts" which support his baseless arguments and accusations.

 The Thoughts of Malatesta by Henry Mayer 1965
Vernon Richards’ work on Malatesta consists of over 200 pages of extracts, arranged by topics, without any chronological order, plus a short biographical sketch and an attempt to assess Malatesta’s relevance today.
Richards, who writes very badly (he admits to being “rambling”) seems to look at Malatesta mainly in terms of a man who had “ideas” but these ideas, though they are supposed to offer a “realistic” guide to Anarchist tactics, turn out to be very vague.
Still, on the whole, Richards’ work can only confirm the views of those who believe that the notion of an Anarchist future is not only a bore but also unintelligible.

With accomplices, the pair robbed Vero and Marie-Louise at gunpoint of £25.00 (four weeks average wages) to finance a rival newspaper, and smashed the type for the next edition of War Commentary with a sledgehammer, as it lay on the press bed at Express Press.
Vernon Richards, John Hewetson, Philip Sansom and Marie-Louise Berneri were prosecuted in April 1945 (as the war in Europe was finishing, but before the end of the war against Japan) for 'conspiracy to contravene Defence Regulation 39A'.
Marie-Louise was acquitted because, as the law was then, a wife could not conspire with her husband.

 Kosmatka resigns council seat to take job in US Russia embassy
During last year’s season, Assistant Vice President Vernon Richards informed members in a letter, bank officials “had to police our bank property every Saturday morning to keep our employee and customer parking spaces open to employees and customers only.
Richards noted in the letter that the bank now installs special temporary signage on Friday evenings: five signs reading “Customer Parking Only/Unauthorized Vehicles Will Be Towed Away/At Vehicle Owner’s Expense” and three signs reading “No Parking/Unauthorized Vehicles Will Be Towed Away/At Vehicle Owner’s Expense.”
“I am totally in favor of the European Market,” Richards hastened to add in the letter, but if matters do “not improve immediately and drastically” the bank will be forced to make good on its threat and to begin the ugly business of towing.
