Does the GOP Base think white terrorists, Nazis, KKK and Alt-Right terrorists are on the righteous side of murder?

When it was only the JBS, Pat Sellers, Sahas & KKK leader David Wayne Hull in Chester County PA, I could keep up. 

Pat Sellers financial support came from a few Chester County billionaire/multi-millionaire John Birch Society people. 

I thought the JBS was just a fringe group in the Republican Party. 

Back in 2005 the Republicans I worked with were not racist, anti-Semites and certainly not pro-Nazi and I assumed that this was true of most all Republicans. Most Republicans would disapprove of Pat Sellers racism and anti-Semitism. 


Then Donald Trump came along. When Sellers pegged the Republican base voters as racist/anti-Semites he was right on the money.



Terrorism and Pat Sellers

In his “From the Desk of Patrick Henry Sellers” column on “The Coatesville Recorder” Pat Sellers recommended reading the books of William Pierce. One of his books “The Turner Diaries” inspired Timothy McVeigh.

Sellers was a Coatesville School Board member at the time. 

I think Pat Sellers isn’t a terrorist, he’s a politician. Pierce had written “The Turner Diaries” but Pat didn’t specifically recommend reading “The Turner Diaries” and Timothy McVeigh hadn’t yet blown up the Murrah Building.



Pennsylvania Skinhead/KKK

In the 1990s there were Skinheads who had cross burning ceremonies along the Perkiomen Creek in Northwest Montgomery County, PA. They did some bomb making, harassed people and financed themselves by selling drugs. When they decided to expand into bank robbing they were arrested. 
The Skinhead/KKK/Nazis feared the Perkiomen Trail would stop their cross lighting ceremonies, it didn’t. There’s still occasionally a burning cross along the Perkiomen. 



There were people in our area who wanted to be terrorists and kill people but in most cases they were arrested before the killing started.
"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.

In 2006 it was only John Birch Society white supremacists like Pat Sellers, drug dealers and a few KKK & Skinhead wannabe terrorists in the Coatesville, PA area that I believed were a concern. 


In 2009 “Department of Homeland Security, Daryl Johnson called attention to the threat of far-right extremist groups -- and sparked a political firestorm in the process.”  His small group of intelligence officers analyzing domestic terrorism was shut down by the Republican Party. I believe the Republican Party understood that people Daryl Johnson called ‘terrorists” were supported by Republican Party base voters. 

Daryl Johnson’s report said in part:
"A recent example of the potential violence associated with a rise in rightwing extremism may be found in the shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 4 April 2009.  The alleged gunman’s reaction reportedly was influenced by his racist ideology and belief in antigovernment conspiracy theories related to gun confiscations, citizen detention camps, and a Jewish-controlled “one world government.” 

 FROM WIKIPEDIA:
“Edward Perkovic, a friend of Poplawski, said the gunman feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon". Perkovic also stated that Poplawski "didn't like the Zionists controlling the media and controlling, you know, our freedom of speech" and that "He didn't like the control of the guns that was about to happen. He believed everything our forefathers put before us and thought that it was being distorted." Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said that Poplawski feared President Obama was going to take away his rights.[18] 

Poplawski posted that he believed that "the federal government, mainstream media, and banking system in these United States are strongly under the influence of -- if not completely controlled by -- Zionist interest. An economic collapse of the financial system is inevitable, bringing with it some degree of civil unrest if not outright balkanization of the continental US, civil/revolutionary/racial war . . . This collapse is likely engineered by the elite Jewish powers that be in order to make for a power and asset grab."[19][20] 

On March 13, 2009, Poplawski wrote on a white supremacist website that "ZOG (Zionist-occupied government) is... One can read the list of significant persons in government and in major corporations and see who is pulling the strings. One can observe the policies and final products and should walk away with little doubt there is Zionist occupation and -- after some further research & critical thinking -- will discover their insidious intentions.”[21]

It appears that the Republican Base believes that white terrorists, Nazis, KKK and Alt-Right terrorists are on the righteous side of murder.

“Earlier this week, Donald Trump described white nationalists who marched with torches intended to evoke the Ku Klux Klan — while chanting phrases borrowed from literal Nazis — as “very fine people.” He then suggested that the white supremacists who rallied in Charlottesville to defend the honor of men who fought to keep dark-skinned people as slaves — and the counterprotesters who gathered to defend the equal dignity of all human beings — were equally to blame for the weekend’s violence (which included one member of the first group plowing a car through members of the latter).

“Finally, the president made it clear that, when comes to the substance of the dispute between the neo-Nazis and the government of Charlottesville, he sides with the skinheads.

Republican elites — and a majority of the American public — were horrified.

But the Republican base was not. A CBS News poll finds that 67 percent of GOP voters approved of Trump’s response to the attack in Charlottesville, while 82 percent of Democrats, and 53 percent of independents disapproved. Although part of the survey was taken before the president’s inflammatory Tuesday press conference, that spectacle did little to dampen Republican enthusiasm for the president’s handling of the matter: Among GOP voters who were interviewed after Trump called white nationalists “very fine people,” 66 percent said he’d done the right thing.”

AND, the love affair with Nazis is not only a U.S. Republican Party one nighter. Nazis are popular in Europe and Russia again. 

Just today the Nazis (FPÖ) made a come back in Austria.

There’s a constant barrage of stuff like this:








This one is really frightening:

“The Army's Edgewood Chemical Biological Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground has placed an engineer on administrative leave after a civil rights organization accused him of having ties to white supremacy groups.” 

"There's no question that Stortstrom is very much a part of the racist white nationalist scene, as well as an up-and-coming young GOP operative," the SPLC wrote. "But it is Stortstrom's top-security clearance job at the U.S. Army research facility on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds [sic] in Maryland that is really raising eyebrows." 

The allegations against Stortstrom appear to have come to light after he arranged for the Route 40 Republican Club to host Matthew Heimbach, the controversial founder of a White Student Union at Towson University.”

AND THEN there is our Pennsylvania Republican Party Chairman Val DiGiorgio:

"The president was not wrong to point out what the media has failed to point out," that counter-protesters also "came for a battle" in Charlottesville, said Pennsylvania Republican Chairman Val DiGiorgio. 

DiGiorgio stood by the "many sides" comment Trump made immediately after the clash in Virginia, in which a car was driven into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing a woman. The president was criticized harshly by Republicans and Democrats because he didn't immediately denounce the white nationalist groups.

One half of Republicans and nearly all of the Republican Party base have a white supremacist, Nazi/Skinhead value system. Pat Sellers was right all along. 



People that I believed were on the fringes of society were actually make up at least 1/2 of Republican Party voters. You find Republicans who support Skinhead/Nazis wherever you look. 

Some of them will pick up an assault rifle and kill until they are stopped.



Keeping up with right wing terrorists gives me a frapping brain freeze headache. 

Factoring in time for video production, family (grandchildren) 

and my cat, I can’t keep up. 











To cheer myself up and look back to a time when Nazis were not considered patriotic Americans I watch movies like this, It’s on Amazon:
