White Terror

The Bush men decorate our holidays in Homeland Security yellow, orange and red, while demonizing Islamic green as the color of the most implacable foes of Western “civilization.” Yet official silence conspires to hide genocidal maniacs in our midst who have sworn to erase the Black presence from the landscape of the United States: White Terror.

Tens of thousands of members of a racist legion operate openly in every corner of the nation – men, women, juveniles, extended families, cells, gangs, churches, clans, militias, border armies, all engaged in what they consider to be a war to the death against non-white America.

George Bush and John Ashcroft don’t want you to hear about White Terror, understandably fearing that the lyrics of white supremacy strike the same racial chords as the Pirates’ own War on Terror theme, itself a rearrangement of the many martial tunes written throughout American history in praise Manifest Destiny. Less than a decade ago Timothy McVeigh’s band of terrorists got carried away with the logic of America as a White Man’s Country, and may have cost the Republicans the White House in 1996. That’s why the homeland security colors didn’t change in May of this year, when federal agents arrested a white racist couple dealing in weapons of mass destruction in a small town near Tyler, Texas. The feds seized a cyanide bomb capable of unleashing a deadly, poison cloud, chemicals and components for additional WMDs, gas masks, 100 conventional bombs, an arsenal of automatic weapons, silencers and half a million rounds of ammunition.

-snip-

Reporters at Channel 11 in Dallas-Fort Worth were told, “federal agents have served hundreds of subpoenas across the country in a domestic terror investigation” since May. Yet there have been no subsequent news reports of such events and only three people are in custody: Krar, Bruey and the New Jersey militiaman, Edward Feltus. If the hundreds of persons suspected of terrorist activities were Arabs or South Asians, we might assume they were locked away incommunicado in the twilight Gulag created since September 11. But these are white Americans with special dispensation to engage in an ancient yet familiar rampage. They can hide in plain sight, because nobody’s really looking.

I've had to snip the meat of the article but two headings are: Terrorists with impunity; The Right rampages, again

1. And Ashcroft winks...

His Christian Deconstructionist colleagues have been attempting to engineer a racist backlash for decades...

Now, all the pieces are in place...

The tyranny of the majority is about to begin in earnest...

Meanwhile, all week on Fox News they'll be asking, "Is there a War on Christianity?"

2. Racists are terrorists

and their mentality is the same as any terrorists-blind hatred for anyone who isn't like them. I won't go near Zinc AR because the KKK is there. When a racist mass mailing came from a 'church' I threw it in the garbage where it belonged, after tearing it up so my boss's children wouldn't see the obscenity.

I will let you know that the city of Harrison AR voted to condemn the mass mailing saying it was pure hate and that it didn't reflect the views of the community. Boone Co AR (where Zinc and Harrison are) is starting to get people of color in their population. My boss was among the first to hire an African American, and he told me that if anyone had a problem with Reg working for us, we'd write those folks off our customer list. I felt that these are signs that white Americans are aware of this threat and are fighting back.

5. Isn't it ironic

that we are fighting terrorists in the middle east so that we want have to fight them here in AMERICA. I have long heard many lament that the US downfall would be from it's own internal hatred. Yes, it is good to fight the devil you can see but ignoring the devil you hide/refuse to see is just as deadly or deadlier. So sad that people have been manipulated through fear tactics into believing that their greater enemy is external rather than internal. Truly this article shows that the rw spewing of hatred keeps this internal hatred stirred and moving.

To save this country might mean the physical deaths of many and perhaps the political deaths of ones who really want to save the country rather than hold office. Are there any unselfish politicians left who will fight for this country's survival even if it means a loss at the polls? I don't know it seems pretty bleak yet it is you still must ask will have the courage to stand up to save this country?

3. This White Threat has also infiltrated the Internet

There are a few of this ilk you are on the Internet spreading fear and terror. A couple of them that I have tracked down are passing themselves off has self-made experts of al Qaeda and their Internet activities.

In the last three months they have been especially busy creating memes about al Qaeda's supposed plans for the next big attack. Since September they have issued numerous terrorist alerts about imminent attacks fortunately so far none of their alerts have come true. They write articles full of information for supposed al Qaeda sources that they are in contact with or monitor on the internet. Then they post these articles on numerous extremest conservative right wing websites. From there people take their 'facts' and incorporate them into other stories and in no time this information is becoming 'gospel'. I've even seen their work quoted here at DU.

Goggle these names and you will find out where all the chatter is really coming from: Jeremy Reynalds, Douglas Hagmann and Steve Quayle. These guys are the real White Threat and they are in high gear at the moment.

4. No thanks. I had enough of that crowd when

I lived in northern Idaho.

7. Unfortunately through the Internet

they are no longer contained to such places as Idaho, they are spreading their crap everywhere and some of it is making it into the mainstream. These are the guys that are creating all of the chatter. These are the kind of folks that people like Tom Ridge are getting their 'private intelligence' from. These are the folks who have caused Tom Ridge to put us on Orange Alert again. These are the real terrorists and ignoring them will not make them go away.

8. No argument from me there.

I did a study once on the Church of the Aryan Nation up in the Spokane/Coeur d' Alene area. More than half of the burglaries, armed robberies and bank hold-ups were committed by criminals with ties to the Aryan Nation compound. So apparently this is how they support themselves. They are blatant about considering themselves above the law. Most of the people of Washington and Idaho are law-abiding and they make them look bad because of the association.

Truthfully, they are stupid but dangerous people. One of the wives one day was expounding on her hatred of Jews to a neighbor. The neighbor pointed out that Jesus was a Jew and the woman exploded. Jesus in her mind couldn't be a Jew. This is how ignorant they are.

10. WE've got a few groups here in East Tennessee

and they're really scary.

I'm told one group near here has a fenced compound, fences topped with barbed-wire, with spotlights illuminating the fence area at night. The local sheriff and deputies won't go there. Don't know if they're afraid of them or in league with them.

6. that's how bill gertz

of the moonie times made his reputation.
lies and fear mongering about china. in the right wing pyscho community it actually pays off to spread these lies.
and yes i agree -- white terrorism is never on the radar. yet how many innocent people have died and families torn apart have there been as a result?

9. Hmmmm.... It borders on hyperbolic nonsense

Yet official silence conspires to hide genocidal maniacs in our midst who have sworn to erase the Black presence from the landscape of the United States: White Terror.

The article offers not nearly enough evidence to support that claim.

Tens of thousands of members of a racist legion operate openly in every corner of the nation – men, women, juveniles, extended families, cells, gangs, churches, clans, militias, border armies, all engaged in what they consider to be a war to the death against non-white America.

I'm quite familiar with them, as I've put some of them away for a very, very long time, and the one commonality that they share is, for lack of a better word, stupidity.

Sure, someone may take that estimate and run with it, extrapolating all sorts of wild scenarios, but they are disorganized, neanderthal and for the most part blow-hards.

Can they wreak tremendous damage? You bet. Did they blow their load in OKC? Most likely.

11. it has always been the right

that has posed to most danger to this country. From the KNOW NOTHINGS of the 1830`s to the Aryan Nation of today. These groups have no qualms about using violence to achieve their perverted goals. But the Republicans have turned a blind eye to these DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. Clinton might have gone after them if congress had been democratic but it was`nt. It would be extremely interesting to gain access to these groups financial records to see JUST WHO CONTRIBUTES!!!
