Question: Ask The Nuwaupians, What Was The Name On The Search Warrant for York?
Answer: They'll say it was Dwight York is a misnomer.
This is an old and outdated issue to address, however, because there's a new crop of misinformed neo-Nuwaupians who are repeating this old debunked talking point, so I feel it's necessary to finally put an end to it by way of the evidence.
There are some in the Nuwaupian cult who are either suffering from cognitive dissonance or severely misinformed about the arrest of Malachi York, and the back-door dodge they seek to use is that Malachi York, isn't Dwight York (17911-054) Here are the facts and thoughts to consider.
- Dwight York was his name growing up
- Dwight was his name while in the few years he spent in school
- Dwight York had his name changed on 2 separate occasions
- His other siblings all one a common letter in their first name "D" David Piper York jr., Dale York, Debra York, Dennis York with Dwight York being their brother
This can go on and on, but for the sake of clarity, it's necessary to once again show the evidence of York's name change from Dwight to an Arabic name, to his present name "Malachi", followed by the search warrent issued with Dwight York on it, as well as his AKA's.
York Talks About Dwight York: York makes the following statements about his name Dwight.
In June of that same year, Fatimah Maryam went to Omdurman, Sudan, to meet Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi, but was unable to see him. On Monday, June 25, 1945 A.D., she went into labor in Omdurman, Sudan. At 12:00 midnight, on Tuesday June 26, she gave birth to me. I was given the Arabic name 'Isa' at birth by my grandfather, Salah Hailak Al Ghalat. As it is custom in the Sudan for the male members of the family to also have their father’s name, I also acquired my father’s name. My full name is Isa Al Haadi Al Mahdi and if you check the records in the Hall of Records of the Sudan you will see that my birth was indeed recorded.
However, no birth certificate was issued because, one was not yet required by law as a Sudanese. Even after I was born, my mother was not accepted by my father's family. Thus, she was escorted back to the United States by her father to Boston and then New Bedford, Massachusetts. I was registered on Tuesday, July 3, 1945 A.D. as 'male' York and an American birth certificate was drawn up. The name 'York' comes from my mother’s previous marriage in 1941 A.D. to a Portuguese man from Boston, whose name was David York. As I grew older I was nicknamed 'Dwight' after my maternal grandmother’s (Leila Williams) father’s name because my mother’s family didn’t want to recognize my Arabic name.
This is the history of my Sudanese name, Isa Al Haadi Al Mahdi, and the American name I acquired while in the United States, Dwight York. This is the truth about the other names which you say I posses; and I add, if I was trying to hide the fact that one of my names is Dwight York, would I call myself Dr. York? Think now, since 1973 A.D. a picture of myself and the name Dr. York has appeared on posters, records, television videos, etc. I’m known by thousands of people as Dr. York, so ask yourself: 'Is he trying to hide this name?' The only logical answer if you're honest, Bilal, is No!
In several of my publications , I have put my names and the reasons why I used these titles over and over again . Now, Once again in 1996 A.D. I am explaining myself again for those of you who are curious, Simply don't know or those who just wish to Cue in on something as minute as a name because you can't find fault in ( What I Am Teaching You . You can't debate about religion if you have never been apart of it . By that I mean, You just can't read three or four books about The Religion Islam and then go and debate with A Muslim . You have to learn to pray, That is make Salaat ( Koran 30 ; 17 ) , You even have to make Pilgrimage to Mecca , Hajj Koran 2 ; 196 or at least Umra ( Koran 2 ; 196 ) . You have to study The Qur'aan as a Muslim. As well as study their Hadiths and tradition as a Muslim from the inside in order for you to be able to make decision as to whether it is fact or myth. In my method of teaching, I made us become Christians and I revealed the name Reverend Dwight York.
-Does Dr. Malachi Z. York Try To Hide The Fact That He Was Imaam Issa?
There you have it, York himself makes it clear that "Dwight" was a name that followed him all his life and not some misnomer started after his arrest. On the scripted jail house interviews called, "The Isles of Patmos", York attempted to change this fact and lie to his followers by claiming that Dwight York wasn't his name and that it was used as an insult. Now that's ridiculous, how is a person be insulted if they're called by a name they had? You're usually insulted by name calling when it's outside of your name, and York admitted to this in his earlier publications and it's supported by documents where he had his name changed from Dwight to an Arabic name. A petition was filed for his first name change on June 7th 1989, this was done in Kings County N.Y., CASE NUMBER 22867-88.
As you can plainly see, York's name was changed from Dwight York to Issa Al Haadi Al Mahdi on January 6, 1990. How can anyone say Dwight wasn't his name when it's there in black and white, supporting his earlier claims that it was? Only those ignorant of this fact can. York would have his name changed a second time. On December 27, 1992, a petition was filed for another legal name change, and this was made official on March 12, 1993.
Again we see that York had his name changed twice, from Dwight York to Issa Al Haddi Al Mahdi to Malachi York. Even the land purchase of 404 Shady Dale rd. in Eatonton, Georgia, the name signed was Dwight York, because his name "Malachi York", didn't become official until AFTER the purchase.
As you can see in the above signatures on the deed, York signs it on January 18, 1993, with "Dwight York" AKA "Issa Al Haadi Al Mahdi, with his "main wife", Kathy Johnson as an unofficial witness and Louise Y. Eddington the Notary. So how can any Nuwaupian claim Dwight York as a misnomer? They can't, but there's more.
York was arrested for attempting to use false government documents, a passport. He was arrested, charged and convicted, the name on the document was Dwight York.
Here we have Dwight York on the probation commitment order, this is BEFORE York had his name change. Now let's see what was on the search warrant used by local law enforcement agencies.
There you have it folks, the official Search Warrant and the names listed are Dwight York/Malachi Z. York and ALL of his aliases or A/K/A/, along with "main wife" Kathy Johnson May 6th 2002. There is no possible way Nuwaupians or anyone supporting York can use that excuse anymore. This "Dwight" misnomer has been officially debunked.
