A white nationalist Teabagger movement is sweeping across the nation.

We are in a recession that is called the worst “since the Great Depression”; a recession that could be worsening.

So many people are buying pistol ammunition that it is in short supply.

Joseph Stack, the anti-government anti-tax terrorist who flew his building into an IRS office is a new hero of the “Teabaggers”. Representative Steve King, Republican of Iowa, said this about Stack’s crime; “It’s sad the incident in Texas happened,” he said, “but by the same token, it’s an agency that is unnecessary.

Rick Perry the incumbent running for Governor of Texas suggested Texas secede from the United States. Debra Medina his opponent said, “The tree of freedom is occasionally watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots”, the same thing that was on Timothy McVeigh’s tee-shirt. Timothy McVeigh was a White Nationalist who thought his actions would inanimate an insurrection against the Federal Government.

And, we have a black President of the United States.

Take Dick Armey’s medical insurance lobby sponsored “FreedomWorks” out of the “Teabagger movement” and what you have left are people who want not just less government sponsored health care but no government at all. Take Dick Armey and his health insurance lobby out of the Teabaggers and what is left is; Militia Groups, Christian Identity, Patriot Movement, White Supremacists and White Nationalists.

Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin have become Fox News induced leaders of a revived domestic terrorist white nationalist movement that is sweeping across the nation.
Sarah Palin has less chance to be President than Barry Goldwater did but she is part of what seems to be a “Perfect Storm” for domestic terrorism.

When the Teabagger candidates and the Republican candidates who foolishly think they can ride the Teabagger movement lose their elections, the Teabaggers may be driven further toward violent revolution and terrorism.

Is the Republican Party allowing itself to become a hate group?

I believe that Joe Wilson’s “Liar” outburst was designed to invigorate the anti-immigration anti-Hispanic racist extremists in the Republican Party. Wilson’s rant was astoundingly successful. With just one word he expressed hatred for a Black President and hatred of all Spanish speaking voters.

Black voters already know the Republicans are the new segregationists. The Republican Party is now also well established as the enemy of Spanish speaking voters.

Spanish speaking voters are a very big deal in winning elections. They may have been the key to Barack Obama’s win in Chester County. There may someday soon be a Spanish speaking majority in the USA; which, along with a Black-ish President of the United States is the primary reason for the explosion (pardon the pun) of the White Nationalists.

The language of some elected officials in the Republican Party is spoken among groups like “Keystone United”. “Keystone United” is the new family friendly name of the “Keystone Skinheads”. There is a Chester County Chapter of “Keystone United”.

The White Nationalists may exaggerate their numbers into millions but there are probably less than 100,000 of them. It’s not enough to win many municipal elections. That’s probably why some of them for instance, Timothy McVeigh decided to use violence. McVeigh thought that others would rise up and follow his example.

No leaders have come out of the Republican’s devastating defeat in the 2008 Election. Joe Wilson and other Republican Senators and Congressmen are speaking the language of the White Nationalists. They have stepped into the vacant spot at the top of the Republican Party.

When the Republican Party refers to extremists as their “base” they have given up representing not only all Spanish speaking voters and all Black voters, but all ordinary working Americans. I think the Republican Party is allowing itself to become a Skinhead/Nazi Party.

In order to influence legislation, the insurance industry lobby and the coal lobby is lending logistic support to extremist groups. They are playing a very dangerous game. I believe the insurance and coal lobbyists are financing and abetting extremist White Nationalists whose real goal is violent disintegration of the United States into White and non-White regions.

The Republican ship drifting rudderless and is sinking, no wait it’s not a ship anymore. The Republican canoe is sinking and people like Joe Wilson are punching holes in the bottom.

Pat Sellers was the one with lots of tea bags hanging on the brim of his hat.

You may remember Pat Sellers wearing a hat with lots of tea bags hanging all around the brim on the “Bloc of Four’s” Election Day.

Pat Sellers was the campaign director for the election of the “Bloc of Four”. That is the election of Patsy Ray, Robin Scott Johnson, Kareem Johnson and Kurt Schenk.

This is an excerpt from a Lancaster Intelligencer Journal article from Thursday April 11, 1996:

“Sellers, and electrical worker who trails his opponent in the race, has also come under fire recently for seeking the support of Larry Pratt, a former aide to presidential candidate Pat Buchannan.

Pratt is executive director of Gun Owners of America. He left the Buchanan Campaign after the media reported on his ties to the Ku Klux Klan and the white supremacist group Aryan Nation.”

You can find the entire article here:

Larry Pratt Books:
Armed People Victorious (1990).
Safeguarding Liberty: The Constitution and Citizen Militias (1995).
On the Firing Line: Essays in the Defense of Liberty (2001).

Pat Sellers had a recent column in the Daily Local News explaining why global warming is a farce, “statistics indicate the globe is cooling”:
http://www.dailylocal.com/articles/2009/08/03/opinion/srv0000005999014.txt

I don’t think Pat Sellers is a bomb maker; I think that he is a writer and political organizer.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has a new report on militia groups in the United States.

“THE SECOND WAVE, RETURN OF THE MILITIAS”

“THIS IS THE MOST SIGNIGFIGANT GROWTH WE’VE SEEN IN 10 TO 12 YEARS. ALL IT’S LACKING IS A SPARK. I THINK IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU SEE THREATS AND VIOLENCE.”

“The current political environment is awash with seemingly absurd but nonetheless influential conspiracy theories, hyperbolic claims and demonized targets, and this creates a milieu where violence is a likely outcome.”

The report concludes with:
“TERROR FROM THE RIGHT-75 plots, conspiracies and racist rampages since Oklahoma City.”

http://www.splcenter.org/images/dynamic/main/The_Second_Wave.pdf

From the Department of Homeland Security OFFICE OF INTELLIGENCE AND ANALISIS:

"(U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment
7 April 2009
Prepared by the Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division. Coordinated with the FBI.

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that a number of economic and political factors are driving a resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization activity.

Despite similarities to the climate of the 1990s, the threat posed by lone wolves and small terrorist cells is more pronounced than in past years. In addition, the historical election of an African American president and the prospect of policy changes are proving to be a driving force for rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization."

Like I wrote Pat Sellers is not a bomb maker. But I do expect that there is a resurgence in the kinds of things Pat Sellers writes about right now. I think he must be very busy.

I would argue that the Republican Party is not “on the ropes” but down for the count.

Sanford Case a New Dose of Bad News for Republicans
By JIM RUTENBERG
WASHINGTON — Republicans were just starting to breathe a little easier.
More here:

I would argue that the Republican Party is not “on the ropes” but down for the count. The Republicans used the ladder of racism to climb to the top. That ladder fell and broke into pieces. One of those pieces is the Republican Party. Some others are “Reagan Democrats” and white supremacist organizations. People like Karl Rove and AM talk radio extremists like Hal Turner and Rush Limbaugh are carrying pieces of the ladder.

It’s true that the Southern Democrats once owned that ladder, but they dropped it with the Civil Rights Act and Ronald Reagan picked it up in Philadelphia Mississippi supporting “States Rights”.

There is a difference between people who register to vote as Republicans and the Republican Party. It is more of a chasm than a difference. Most of the people in Chester County who call themselves or register as Republican are not avid fans of people like Hal Turner; an extremist talk show host who has just been arrested by Patrick J. Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. They are what as known as Eisenhower Republicans. President Obama is much more like President Eisenhower than Adlai Stevenson.

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT USA vs.HAL TURNER:
http://www.box.net/shared/j4t9c297zk


The Democratic Party has been migrating to the “center” of US politics. Eisenhower supported the “New Deal” and thought that Republicans like Barry Goldwater were extremists that could never represent Republicans. The Democratic Party has now matched the beliefs and philosophy of Eisenhower Republicans. The present Democratic Party is in general to the right of President Eisenhower's beliefs. That is the reason that Republicans here continue to flock to the Democratic Party and leave the Republican Party here in Chester County to be supported by a few insane extremists and some others who allegedly could lose big if there was a change at the county level.

I think the best description of the present state of USA politics is found here:

Sarah Palin's Extremist Ties

We have lots of experience here in Coatesville with militia types. I think that a few people associated with “America First”, an offshoot of the “John Birch Society”, have been interfering in Chester County politics for decades.

I spotted Gov. Palin right away; anyone familiar with extremist militia groups would have.

It looks to me like a hideous white supremacist; extremist militia side of the Palins is now out in the sunlight for the entire world to view

The most devastating example so far of the militia movement is the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, an office complex in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by Timothy McVeigh.

Does Governor Palin have buddy list of AIP anti-American bombers?

Isn't anyone interested in what the "First Dude" Palin's hero Joe Volger wanted to blow up with those "plastic explosives"?

"Vogler was murdered in 1993 during an illegal sale of plastic explosives that went bad. The prior year, he had renounced his allegiance to the United States explaining that, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the stars and stripes, promising, "I won't be buried under their damned flag...when Alaska is an independent
nation they can bring my bones home." Palin has never denounced Vogler or his detestable anti-Americanism."-RFK Jr.

Governor Palin's association with the Alaskan Independence Party is ongoing.

"While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP's 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska."

"The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP's 2000 Convention. She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP's 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year's 2008 convention. In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight!"-RFK Jr.

In RFK Jr's words:
"So when Palin accuses Barack of "not seeing the same America as you and me," maybe she is referring to an America without Alaska. In any case, isn't it time the media start giving equal time to Palin's buddy list of anti-American bombers and other radical associates?"

But should we be asking a different questions; questions about possible terrorist connections to the Palins via the Alaskan Independence Party?

Should we be asking ourselves, was a Federal building targeted for the placement of plastic explosives by Joe Vogler, the founder of the Alaskan Independence Party? Yes, plastic explosives.

The very same Alaskan Independence Party that the “First Dude” Todd Palin was a registered member of from 1995 until 2002.

That very same Joe Vogler that said:
"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government...and I won't be buried under their damn flag."
