In 2016 I wrote. We are teetering on the edge of a police state to counter well armed anti-government white supremacist and anti-government militias. NOW The 2022 midterms could push us over that edge. Will fear drive voters to the Democratic side?

Unless the election is for president Democrats stay home. 

The Republican base driven by religious fear & hate votes in every election. It's how Republicans dominate in moderate states. 

Could fear drive voters to elect Democrats?

I can’t predict what happens in the rest of the United States but I have some knowledge of politics in Pennsylvania. 

Hear me out:

On election night 2016 I was sure that Hillary Clinton could not win Pennsylvania. I thought the national vote was 50/50. 

I wrote this September 26, 2016 but didn’t publish it. I might have just forgot. I don’t recall. 

We are teetering on the edge of a police state to counter well armed anti-government white supremacist and anti-government militias.

Donald Trump is a monster attracting a white supremacist base. Hillary Clinton is deeply disliked and so far tied with Donald Trump. But the political pundit press treats this election like a TV contest show. 

Chester County, Pennsylvania is a very nice place to live. Jobs are available. There are rolling meadows and woods between small towns. It's a wealthy county, top heavy wealth. We have some multi-billionaires who travel by helicopter. 

Pennsylvania, “The Keystone State” is also a traditional geographic location for White Nationalist anti-government extremist groups that sometimes indulge in terrorist activity. On nice weekend days you are likely to see some Confederate flags flying on Chester County homes. They are not all Civil War buffs.

The 2016 Election is a white supremacist event. To the press it's a TV contest show. I wrote this Sept. 26, 2016 but did not publish it.

In 2006 I had information that I knew would be in the hands of people who could threaten me if I gave it to the Office of the District Attorney of Chester County PA.

I discovered I could trust then Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Hogan. Tom investigated the drug business in Chester County. Tom also had knowledge of the extreme right wing in Chester County. Tom was exactly what I needed. 

"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.”

Using intuitive knowledge of the town I grew up in. Speaking one on one with others who grew up in Coatesville.  I determined that then Chair of Area 14 Richard Legree had plans to control the City of Coatesville Police Department when a group of new Coatesville City Council members hand picked by then Chapter Leader John Birch Society Patrick Henry Sellers took control of city council.  Later I had the assistance of an intelligence officer connected to then AG Holder. 

When I said Richard Legree planned to take over the City of Coatesville PD most people laughed & said he wants to but It will never happen. They laughed until it happened.

I believe that when Lt. Fitzgerald of the Philadelphia PD was interviewed by Harry G. Walker at the King of Prussia Mall for the position of Coatesville Chief of Police, Walker was accompanied by Richard Legree. I think Lt. Fitzgerald said Walker demanded that Fitzgerald appoint Legree as his first Lieutenant or Assistant Chief. Lt. Fitzgerald said “would not hire Legree due to his ‘checkered’ background”. I think that Lt. Fitzgerald may have been referring Legree’s conviction of selling 145 bags of heroin and a separate conviction of selling nine bags of heroin to undercover agents in Coatesville in1975. 

It may be a little thing but in my opinion Richard Legree appeared to be treated by the “bloc of four” as almost god like. For instance: the time limit rule for citizen’s comments is 5 minutes. Richard Legree went on as long as he wanted. I watched as the minutes went past 7 and Don Wilkinson laid the timing clock down on its face. Legree spoke for 22 uninterrupted minutes. 

Richard went all over the country in his capacity as Administrator of the Laborers' Health & Safety Fund of the Philadelphia LECET. When he was in Coatesville he was at city hall. 

Richard was also Chair of Area 14 of the Chester County Republican Committee (Coatesville).

I didn’t foresee Coatesville Burning. Governor Rendell woke Coatesville City Manager from his Sunday hangover to tell him you will declare a state of emergency.

I am hearing that the actual number of arsons in Coatesville may allegedly have been about 60 in the last 24 months. Because of alleged inaccurate incomplete records the real number may be unknown. 

When the new administration took over the fire reporting system moved into the hands of the volunteer firemen. There is alleged to be poor recording of fires or in some cases no reporting at all. 

It is alleged that in 2007 the reporting was about 60% of actual fire department activity. 

I believe the Sunday that Walker, Matthews and Johnson did declare an emergency they only did so under extreme pressure from Governor Rendell. 

Last night I asked District Attorney Joe Carroll if he knew that there were 27 fires by August or September of last year; would he or Governor Rendell have demanded that Coatesville declare an emergency? His answer was yes. 

I have heard that even with the 15 or so number of arsons the city was acknowledging; the DA, State and ATF repeatedly offered help to the city and that help was refused.

Number of Arsons?

I was a Coatesville Planning Commissioner. When an alleged death threat did not work; the “Bloc of Four” arranged a different way to remove me from the planning commission. What they might not know is at the planning commission meeting two weeks after the meeting with the alleged death threat District Attorney Joe Carroll waited from before the meeting began until after it was over. If Ernie Campos and/or Richard Legree showed up again he was prepared to charge them with terroristic threats. The alleged threat is in the minutes of the Coatesville Planning Commission meeting May 10, 2006:
