The rebranded more family friendly, more mainstream white supremacists


"They look like us. They sound like us. They are us," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas P. Hogan Jr., assigned to coordinate investigations and prosecute cases with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. 

Since the election of Barack Obama as President racism is no longer at the fringes of the Republican Party. At the CPAC convention there was the man who claimed black people were better off as slaves:




The “black people were better off as slaves” is standard white nationalist rhetoric.  Twenty years ago, fifty years ago,  there may have been people, ordinary people without sheets over their heads or swastika  tattoos who whispered this kind of stuff in private but now they’re saying it while the whole world is listening.

Federal prosecutors are attempting to block the pre-trial release of a Pennsylvania man with militia ties who faces a charge in Texas that he threatened to kill President Obama before or during the president’s inauguration. 
White nationalists, once secretive John Birch Society members, armed Militia groups and even white supremacists that were once on the outer fringes of society are making political and social inroads across America and Pennsylvania. 
The Year in Hate and Extremism 
By Mark Potok, Senior Fellow 
Capping four years of explosive growth sparked by the election of America’s first black president and anger over the economy, the number of conspiracy-minded antigovernment “Patriot” groups reached an all-time high of 1,360 in 2012, while the number of hard-core hate groups remained above 1,000. As President Obama enters his second term with an agenda of gun control and immigration reform, the rage on the right is likely to intensify.

  Klansman faces sentencing on weapons, bomb charges 
GINA ZOTTIFriday, February 25,2005 Residents may not have noticed them, but they were here when they set off pipe bombs, test-fired machine guns and taught bomb-making classes.They blended right in. 
"They look like us. They sound like us. They are us," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas P. Hogan Jr., assigned to coordinate investigations and prosecute cases with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. 
Before international terrorists took the spotlight, there were men like Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, a domestic terrorist executed by lethal injection on June 11, 2001, for the attack that killed 168 people and wounded hundreds more. 
"To effectively combat terrorism, whether international or domestic, what you need are human sources -- spies, informants," explained Hogan. "They need to penetrate into the terrorist organization on a long-term basis."Obtaining such inside information was critical in convicting David Wayne Hull -- a self-declared Imperial Wizard of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan who operated a "cell" in western Chester County -- of a number of weapons charges, witness tampering and a charge of instructing others how to use a pipe bomb in furtherance of a federal crime.

They’re not skinheads anymore they’re a more family oriented Keystone United
 In Its Own Words 
"We wish to break the stereotypes of skinheads being alcoholic thugs and violent drug-addicted criminals."
— Keystone State Skinheads website 
"By offering education and guidance, we intend to mobilize our youth for change and create an atmosphere capable of weeding out the superficial and outdated reactionary elements so that we may continue to move forward."
— Keystone State Skinheads website 
"The skinheads (including me) that showed up at this rally broke the Hollywood-created stereotype. There were no [R]oman salutes, wearing of swastikas, or shouting of tired old racial slogans like ‘White Power' and ‘Sieg Heil.' ... I think we are making inroads in changing people's perception of skinheads."
