US white supremacist arrested in plot to bomb Washington

[maddezmom]

CHICAGO (AFP) - An Iowa man with white supremacist leanings was arrested after he told truck drivers over "citizens' band" radio that he was planning to set off a bomb in Washington, police said.

Terry Daniels, 44, was found at a roadside gas station about 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of Chicago at 3:45 a.m. after truck drivers called police with his license plate number and a description of which direction his blue Ford van was heading.

"We didn't find any explosives," Princeton, Illinois police chief Tom Root said. "We found a lot of documents like anti-government stuff and white supremacist stuff. There were suitcases of this stuff and we're still going through it all."

Root said Daniels, who may be using an alias, got on the short-wave radio system and started talking about how angry he was with the government and the Supreme Court. At around 3 a.m. he told truck drivers that he was planning on picking up explosives on his way to Washington to "take care of some business."

1. What? A WHITE terrorist? say it ain't so!

[mbperrin]

11. It's a mixup! Look at his name!

Dani-els, eh? Sure it's not El-Dani, comrade? Very clever, impersonating white Murikan truck driver, but we're onto you now!!!!

See? If I didn't mind being evil and burning in hell and all that, I COULD DO THIS STUFF! ;)

[Rich Hunt]

12. ha ha

Oh yeah, white people aren't capable of terrorism, especially those with white supremacist belief systems...

:eyes:

He feels threatened by a society that isn't white enough for his taste. That's a good enough reason to bomb something, isn't it?

:eyes:

[The Stranger]

13. White People can't be Terrorists.

[arcane1]

17. if he's white, he's NOT a terrorist

didn't you get the memo?

[anotherdrew]

31. that's right, he just got a bit worked up

we'll probably never hear about this again...

[TrogL]

2. Citizen's Band (GSR) radio is not "short wave"

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

9. Not GSR...

11 meters.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

37. 11 meters

You are corrrect, sir. Shortwave receivers generally pick frequencies between 1710 kHz (or 1.71 MHz) and 29,999 kHz (or 29.999 MHz). Frequencies near 1710 kHz are in the 160 meter band, and frequencies near 29 MHz are in the 10 meter band. CB, in the 11 meter band, is in the shortwave, or high frequency (HF) portion of the radio spectrum.

We've got your back door covered, Tandalayo; come on.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

43. RogerDee on that.

;-)

[mahatmakanejeeves]

46. RogerDee

Thinking: what's that mean? Can't recall. Just a double super secret "roger?"

[rman]

41. actually it is; CB = 27 MHz, SW = 3 ~ 30MHz

you can check that anywhere

[wookie294]

3. I've always felt an American will nuke the USA, not a Muslim

A nook-lear "Tim McVeigh" is more likely than a nook-lear Osama.

[alarcojon]

32. Don't you mean "nucular"?

[maxsolomon]

let me get this straight

he's right wing & threatening terrorism? but but but...

i thought it was only "hard-core liberals" & "angry leftists" who hate america!

[knitter4democracy]

4. Oh, yeah--we're not worried about our own terrorists.

Sheesh! We have our own guys grown right here at home, and we're worried about Islamist extremists more?

[bluestateguy]

5. They're terrorists? Send them to Gitmo

And I want them getting the same treatment as all the other prisoners at Gitmo.

[catnhatnh]

6. Hey Asshat-

It was a CB and the alias was his HANDLE...jesus christ,must they dramatize EVERYTHING???

[Scout1071]

7. Very interesting.

And scary if all is true.

Although, it is about time for a terra alert.

[leetrisck]

8. Was he angry the Supreme Court put bush

in the White House or angry over eminent domain?

[geek tragedy]

10. There are terrorists in Iowa? Let's invade Nebraska!!!! eom

[sled]

14. Sounds like...

the same old hype, & bull shit. What was he going to bomb them with, words, & suitcases full of paper? Just another ploy in the war on Americans...same crap, different day...make the "Patriot Act" permanent...the operative being "act"...nothing but smoke & mirrors, very reminiscent of their other raging success, the "War on Drugs"...the result, more drugs, less freedom...shredding the Bill of Rights, as fast as Oliver North, destroying the evidence, during Iran/Contra/Cocaine...

[maddezmom]

15. and conveniently happens on the same day as the Patriot Act is in Congress

:shrug:

[mcscajun]

19. But wasn't he a Patriot?

I mean...wasn't he gonna Act...I mean...bomb Washington for his...Um..I mean...Our own good? :sarcasm:

Let's enroll all the congresscritters in a semiotics course. :)

[sled]

20. But...

it's all just one big old coincidence..."coincidence theory", all acts are random, never planned...

[DanCa]

16. Hmmm

I wonder who this good ole boy voted for in the last election.

[moggie]

18. Guy sounds like a real genius

Ya know, this is just a theory, but I suspect that a large part of why the 9/11 guys were successful is that they didn't get on the radio that day and broadcast "hey, folks, we're on our way to blow up the following targets".

Why doesn't any white supremacist wonder "duh, if my race is the pinnacle of creation, why am I dumber than dirt?".

[WI Independent]

34. Truly insane people don't know they're insane...

they think everyone else is crazy and stupid.

So, if you ever find yourself thinking the whole world is insane... it's time to go see the head doc. :D

[Roland99]

21. Sounds like a lot of hot air and braggadocio.

[Solly Mack]

22. time to profile white guys and send them to Gitmo

we got to protect America from those terrorists.

If profiling one entire group for the actions of a few is OK for those of ME descent, then surely profiling white guys for the action of other white guys is OK too.

and send them off to Gitmo for the Lemon Chicken treatment and a few frat house pranks!

(that's not dripping sarcasm...that's a gully wash)

[Julius Civitatus]

23. Remember: this White House only considers terrorists brown and foreign

Remember that recently, this WH, for the first time scrubbed all the right-wing, white supremacist domestic terror groups from the list of terrorists groups to fight:

http://www.cq.com/public/20050325_homeland.html

http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/2005/03/priorities_28.html

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not list right-wing domestic terrorists and terrorist groups on a document that appears to be an internal list of threats to the nation's security.

According to the list -- part of a draft planning document obtained by CQ Homeland Security -- between now and 2011 DHS expects to contend primarily with adversaries such as al Qaeda and other foreign entities affiliated with the Islamic Jihad movement, as well as domestic radical Islamist groups.

It also lists left-wing domestic groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), as terrorist threats, but it does not mention anti-government groups, white supremacists and other radical right-wing movements, which have staged numerous terrorist attacks that have killed scores of Americans. Recent attacks on cars, businesses and property in Virginia, Oregon and California have been attributed to ELF.

DHS did not respond to repeated requests for comment or confirmation of the document's authenticity.

Interesting.

[Fiona]

24. I demand

immediate denunciations from all white people.

[anotherdrew]

30. I officially denunciate fully and completely these white actions

Please understand that not all white people hate America (mostly it's just the ones in charge and their legion of half baked semi-followers)

[alarcojon]

33. Hear Hear!

Why haven't we heard from all the White groups, denouncing these despicable actions? Their silence is damning indeed.

:yourock:

[WI Independent]

36. I hearby...

denunciate the actions of this white person outlined in this article (and probably most anything else he's done too). I would like the world to know that and the vast majority of us are not mentally unbalanced paranoid racist extremist. Oh... most white people aren't stupid enough to threaten to bomb the government on our CB ray-dee-ohhs either.

How's that? :D

[Az_lefty]

25. Sheesh, they arrested a Republican?

must be some kind of mix up...
:hide:

[Seabiscuit]

35. Well, the article didn't say they shipped him to Gitmo - probably set free

[catnhatnh]

26. I'm tempted to say...

..."my alias is catnhatnh and I'm heading to DC to have anal sex with the highest government official I can find",but there's two problems...

A: Our joyless humorless government drones might not recognize satire.

B. My environmental conciousness fears too many high governmental officials might "leave the lights on" for me....

[KamaAina]

27. "Police said they are hoping to upgrade them to federal terrorism charges"

Can it be that they're finally starting to get the message? Or did they just say that so we'd shut up?

[mmonk]

28. They must have it wrong

They must have meant to say enviromentalist.

[anotherdrew]

29. ok ok who's heard this before:

<warning, effort at satire approaching>

We've got to find the self appointed "holy men" who fill these kids heads up with hatred of our free society and take them out! It's just a matter of time, _if_ not _when_ one of these white terrorists get's their hands on chemical or biological weapons and unleashes it on our cities. We've got to take the fight to them. We've got to roll-up these fundamentalist christian terror cells that are operating at all levels. stamp out the evil doers in their own homes afore it's too late!
===
no no no you just don't get it; we've got to address the root causes of white terrorism.
===
and what are they? and how to 'address' them?
===
clearly non-caucasians should pull out of our unwise occupation of traditionally caucasoid (pronounced Ka-Ka-zoid) states (aka, the upper middle bits) and step up the already significant in-flow of tax dollars (foreign aid) so that the terrorist-supporting radical fundamentalist christian white people can run their affairs as they see fit. With no taxes and little in the form of government, it should look A LOT like Afghanistan in no time. Perhaps then support will grow for moderate white-power christians to take charge. We can build a giant wall around them and search them thoroughly when they enter the main portion of the united states. The Caucasian Tribal Zone will finally give them what they want, their own 'zion'. (I guess we'll need to pull the nukes out first)
===
no no no we need to find another way to overreact...
===
...
===
the end?
===



only 10 words changed! yippie for me

[JawJaw]

38. You just KNOW

If this guy had brown skin or middle Eastern sounding name he would be FRONT PAGE news for weeks, TV news satellite trucks outside his house - the works!

[Zorra]

39. What kind of gripe would a white supremacist have with a republican

monopoly in government? Republicans are racists, and control every branch of the government right now.

The republican party is, overwhelmingly, the "party of choice" of the KKK.

Jeez, you'd think these morons would be overjoyed that the US has a republican, racist dominated government.

I guess this proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt, how fucking stupid racists really are.

[rucky]

40. Alberto Gonzalez? n/t

[rman]

42. i wonder why he is angry with the government

not RW enough for his taste?

[maxrandb]

44. He's A Truck Driver.....Hmmmmm...

I wonder how much AM Radio he listens to everyday?

Nah, there can't possibly be a connection. Rush is just a "harmless little fuzzball"

:wtf:

[Bassic]

45. Stupid, violent, moronic failures

Welcome to the white supremacists mind. If your life is full of shit, blame them funny lookin people.

Argh, this kind of shit makes me so mad....

:mad: :wtf: :grr: :banghead:
