Charges are not expected to be brought against publishers of a magazine which urged blacks in Bermuda to mount a brutal freedom fight against whites.

The Royal Gazette has learned that former Attorney General Mr. Walter Maddocks decided not to pursue the matter which was under Police investigation just over a year ago.

"The Nationalist'' -- produced by an anonymous group called the Nationalist Youth Alliance -- blasted Government for allegedly neglecting blacks.

The magazine also added: "The cover of our first issue demands an uprising among black people (and black youth in particular) in Bermuda.'' And it called for a "most brutal struggle'' against "evil racist power structures.'' No one was arrested in connection with the matter.

But it was thought some students at Bermuda College, where the magazine was circulated, were involved.

And last year Police questioned 19-year-old Christian college student Mr. Paul York for five hours about the Alliance and a death threat to the Queen.

This was heavily criticised by the York family and PLP MPs Dr. Ewart Brown and Mr. Alex Scott, who called for an apology from Police.

When contacted recently by The Royal Gazette about the status of the investigation, a Police spokesman said there was "no comment.'' However, a source said laws on sedition, like obscenity, were very grey areas and therefore it was difficult to build a case.

An anonymous person or group this week circulated a statement calling for Bermuda to put "an immediate end to the political genocide'' of black men.

In the three-page statement -- mysteriously distributed to several Hamilton businesses -- the sender warned that if blacks continue to be treated with disrespect, "the perpetrators will be met with maximum resistance and retaliation.'' "We have followed the political situation closely, and notice a dou ble standard of justice for blacks,'' it stated. "Not only is this travesty going unpunished, at the same time financial institutions are reeking havoc with the recall of loans and mortgages.

"We see one policy for blacks in most areas of life and another for whites or those who have declared their allegiance to the power structure.

"There are a host of black victims to prove this reality.

"What we object to is not the fact that blacks are challenged, but the fact that they are treated with disrespect, scorn and an obvious `destroy them mentality.' "We demand that this trend be stopped immediately.'' The statement, while similar in ideology to "The Nationalist,'' contained milder language and was less professional in appearance.

It continued, "It was time for black people and all those who are oppressed to take control of their destinies.'' And it listed former bankers Mr. Calvin Shabazz and Mr. Arnold Todd, former businessmen Mr. Llewellyn Peniston and Mr. Manders Ingham, and lawyer Mr.

Julian Hall as black "victims.'' It listed Governor Lord Waddington, Premier the Hon. Sir John Swan, Solicitor General Mr. Barrie Meade, and Education Minister the Hon. Clarence Terceira as key players in "the continued control of black people.'' And it threw out strong accusations about the banks and Bermuda, Fire & Marine.

It accused the banks of not giving black women "real power.'' Bermuda, Fire & Marine "pulled off the biggest hoax in the financial history of Bermuda,'' it claimed.
