Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog
Public Corruption in Chester County, PA
I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

A white nationalist Teabagger movement is sweeping across the nation.
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.

Teabaggers driven by fear and armed with firearms and explosives are brewing up a 2nd Civil War
Our primary terrorist threat is not from Saudi Arabia it’s from your neighbor.
I have a sinking feeling the coming elections could turn violent.
"Tea Party Movement Lights Fuse for Rebellion on Right”
“And in Indiana, Richard Behney, a Republican Senate candidate, told Tea Party supporters what he would do if the 2010 elections did not produce results to his liking: ‘I’m cleaning my guns and getting ready for the big show. And I’m serious about that, and I bet you are, too.”

Just politics or hate group
"As I came out of the bank on a Saturday morning, they noticed my small flag pin which included the name 'Obama' beneath the flag. I was trapped at the intersection and threatened explicitly with being thrown into the street in the path of oncoming traffic. I was truly frightened! That was the scaryest thing that's happened to me in a long time
I do not understand why they are permitted to threaten peaceable citizens on their personal business in our downtown streets.
One of them, Sean Carpenter prominently featured in this video, is a Republican endorsed 2009 candidate for West Chester Area School Board." Kipp Stone-Candidate for Chester County Treasurer
It's sad to say that a once proud Republican Party here in Chester County is morphing into a White Nationalist / Christian Reconstructionist extremist group.
This is not “just Chester County politics” this is a hate group. I think the violence has nowhere is its peak yet. At least some of the Pagan motorcycle gang members can't support the Sheepdogs for a little while.

Watching the angry anti-healthcare mobs was déjà vu all over again for me
It was about 6 years ago in the lobby of Coatesville City Hall when I asked Dick Saha why he did not try to negotiate with the City. I said something about separate property owner’s rights being entirely dependent upon government. For instance; recording a deed to show ownership and for things like police and fire protection. I said that local government is a place to come together as a community to sort problems out. Dick nodded to his son Ricky and I was suddenly circled by about 10 very angry people including Pat Sellers; all of them yelling at me and calling out “Communist”. I found out later that what happened to me was allegedly the Saha supporter group’s technique for weeding out any new person that they thought might not be on their side. Some people never came to a City Council meeting again.
What I am getting at is that I know exactly how Senator Specter and the other representatives feel when surrounded by a mob of angry extremists.
To me it’s plain as day that most of the people showing up to drown out anyone that is for health care and insurance reform are allegedly recruited from the white wing supremacist or Lyndon LaRouche/Libertarian groups. I believe they will oppose anything at all that comes from a Black Democratic President.
Those kinds of people were brought out of their hibernation during the Bush years by the election of a Black President.
What is really deplorable and astounding is that right wing extremist groups were considered ripe fruit for the picking by the insurance lobby. Instead of putting their money into “Harry and Louise” TV ads that attacked anything that would disturb their medical insurance gravy train they allegedly went to extremist and white supremacist groups and arraigned for their transportation and logistic support to town forums.
The ethics of our health insurance companies were never anything to write home about, but this a new low. Some of our American gangsters can point to insurance companies and claim moral superiority.
There is a real and present danger from right extremist groups, but not from the organized groups themselves. The real danger is from a “lone wolf” type like Timothy McVeigh.
I think the end result of insurance companies allegedly financing and giving logistic support to white supremacist, militia groups and other extremist groups might be violence and possibly the death or injury of someone who attends a meeting. Any blood spilled will be on the greedy hands of the health insurance industry.

There are two political entities in Coatesville; hint it’s not Democrats and Republicans
There is a separate underground economy that operates on trickle down money from drug trafficking in Coatesville. When the undercover ATF and DEA people were here because of the arson, much of the drug trafficking stopped. The legitimate local business here suffered; some people did not have the cash to their pay bills.
There is no long standing drug trafficking business anywhere that does not have support from public officials. Read; Police Politics Corruption “The mixture dangerous to freedom and justice” by Colonel Frank McKetta Retired Pennsylvania State Police.
On the surface Coatesville seems like an ordinary Pennsylvania town. But a drive down any main street on a Friday or Saturday night will tell you that this is a huge drug trafficking town. It is a beautiful town with great potential and wonderful people but one that is held hostage by long time drug traffickers with political connections. I call it “Little Sicily”.
If a shooting occurs in front of several people in Coatesville right now; chances are “nobody saw it”. Much of the tips that law enforcement does get in Coatesville comes from new residents. Coatesville is a city of about 12,000 residents with the infrastructure for 20,000 residents. New residents without long time family connections in Coatesville cannot be easily intimidated by drug traffickers. The USDoJ is well aware that a redevelopment of Coatesville that brings in new people may be the end of the drug trafficking and the terror hold that it has over Coatesville. The drug traffickers are also aware of that fact.
Election of people not connected to the drug trafficking political establishment here will help but what I think Coatesville and Chester County really needs is a full investigation of the city by the USDoJ. Until that happens we will continue to see articles like this one in the Daily Local News:

Along with most other older Daily Local articles this one is difficult to find. But the same article appears in the DelCo Times:

One year ago, two Chester County families were destroyed and a community was sent into a state of shock.

You may walk by them at the mall, on the street or at a "Tea Party"..
Because we have a black president, a reaction to the possibility of lifting the ban on military assault weapons and a failing economy; recruitment is way up. It only takes a few people like Timothy McVeigh to achieve a deadly effect.
Both the White Supremacist blogs; Stormfront (National) and Keystone Alliance (PA) have information about the "Tea Parties" in PA-times and places.

Local police receive awards
Daily Local News
GINA ZOTTI , Staff Writer
"In addition to the anonymous trooper, whose name is not being released because of his undercover status at a Chester County state police barracks, West Goshen Detective Sgt. Gregory Stone and Coatesville Detective Martin Quinn were recognized for their investigative work that led to the guilty pleas or convictions of a number of violent local criminals.
'The local police and local prosecutors are and must be the first line of defense in defeating crime in Chester County," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas P. Hogan Jr. "Chester County residents are incredibly lucky to have such good police officers taking care of them on a day-to-day basis.'...
Hogan said the white supremacist cell was meeting on a regular basis in western Chester County -- in the Honey Brook and Parkesburg areas -- as well as over the border into Lancaster County for years before their arrests in 2002.
'The frightening thing about Hull is not just that he hates people because of their race and not just that he wants to be violent, but that he’s teaching people how to hate and how to be violent,' said Hogan. 'He’s telling people how to make bombs, where to put them and where they’ll do the most damage."
