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.

You now have the choice of Tea or Coffee in grassroots political movements.
The mission statement of the Coffee Party states that; "…the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will, and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to address the challenges that we face as Americans."
I know some of the local Chester County Teabaggers. They include “White Nationalist” types. The Federal Government is something White Nationalists are up in arms against. Literally up in arms. I believe that some of those White Nationalist type Teabaggers helped to put the Kabash on Coatesville's Redevelopment.
“MISSION: The Coffee Party Movement gives voice to Americans who want to see cooperation in government. We recognize that the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will, and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to address the challenges that we face as Americans. As voters and grassroots volunteers, we will support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them.”
The White Nationalist extremists have a near depression and a black President to feed on. They are using century old propaganda of the KKK and Nazis slightly modified to appear contemporary.
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.”
To my knowledge that’s been going on for about 2 decades. I believe that it’s one reason we got the disastrous “Bloc of Four” government in Coatesville. The ordinary news media is just becoming aware of what I believe is the “Christian Reconstructionists” moving into main line Republican political committees. I wonder if “Keystone United” (skinheads) and the Pagans are going to come in and help out the GOP in Chester County in this election.
More traditional “Eisenhower Country Club Republicans” are vaguely aware that “something” is wrong about many of the Republican candidates. That’s why the Republicans lose here whenever there is a large voter turnout.
What happened to the Republican Party here is a very sad thing.

Racism and fear has been the ENTIRE foundation of Republican political strategy since 1965. Xenophobia is a more recent close second.
Racists and Xenophobes are a minority as voters but they are frequent voters driven by fear that turn out in every election. Republicans call them their “Base”. The “Moderate Democrats” also base their voter appeal on fear of non-whites. The Reagan Democrats are racists; they just don’t like to be called racist, in public.
Pennsylvania went for Obama because of voter turnout. The racists voters were overwhelmed by ordinary people.
Like I said the racists ARE in the minority. But they are driven by a fear of non-white rule to turn out for every election.
The reaction of the most racist white supremacists in Pennsylvania and in Chester County where I live was predictable. The “Keystone Skinheads “understood the opportunity and changed their name to the more family friendly “Keystone United “to take advantage of the reaction to a Black President and attract people who might be turned off by the Skinhead name but not their beliefs. The entire White Supremacist movement has morphed into a bigger movement of anti-government activists and white supremacists now called “White Nationalists”. They bring in people who are uncomfortable at being racists (although they may be racists) but have the same goal of a white only or at least a white controlled nation and a fear that the USA is becoming an anti-American nation controlled by non-Christians and Jews and people of color.
A bible camp meeting of Christian Identity members at Estes Park, Colorado on October 1992 later took on historical importance. The bible camp theme was the “Ruby Ridge” ATF siege in Idaho in August of 1992. The keynote speaker was Larry Pratt of "Gun Owners of America" and the "Committee to Protect the Family". It became to be known as the birth of the new militia movement in the USA. But more importantly it brought together a blend of gun rights activitists, white supremacists and Christian activists. Nazis, Skinheads, “Christian” anti-abortion activists, anti-government activists, and gun rights supporters that came together to form the basis for a Christian Nationalist/gun owners movement. I believe that Christian & guns movement is at the core of the Teabaggers.
I believe a mix of out and out white supremacists, white nationalists, “Christian family” anti-abortionists, racists (who do not acknowledge their racism), anarchists, Libertarians, anti-government militia groups, outlaw motorcycle gangs,Republicans, Democrats, Independents and other parties and xenophobes make up the Teabaggers. They are not necessarily agreeable. The Republican Party and their corporate K Street lobbyists are desperately trying to get them under one tent; the Republican Party. Good luck with that.
There are a lot of moderate Republicans in Chester County, PA. But there will be no move towards the center for Republicans locally or Nationally. Their “base”, driven by fear of non-white rule, turns out reliably for every election. By catering to their base they will continue to win in the less popular local and state elections and continue to imbed Republicans in local and state governments and the court system. The GOP's problem is their “base” sometimes becomes rabid and bites.
In the video above Hari Kunzru is the only person who really “gets it”. Michele is the deep one and probably frightens the White Supremacists most.
White Supremacy - The theology based movement that believes in the satanic nature of Jews and the secondary status of people of color.
"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.

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.
All the tactics of the extreme right Christian Reconstructionists are well outlined by various groups that follow extremist activity. The ends justifies the means is a basic precept of Christian Reconstructionism. Lies are common in right wing political propaganda. Mid term elections where there is a low turnout is the primary way that Christian Reconstructionists infiltrate school boards, local government and Republican Committees.
This is excerpted from a Public Eye document:
“Christians must begin to organize politically within the present party structure, and they must begin to infiltrate the existing institutional order." Similar stealth tactics have epitomized the resurgence of the Christian Right, as groups like Citizens for Excellence in Education and the Christian Coalition have quietly backed candidates who generally avoided running as overtly "Christian" candidates. The Christian Coalition actually proposed something similar to Gary North's notion of "infiltration" when its 1992 "County Action Plan" for Pennsylvania advised that "You should never mention the name Christian Coalition in Republican circles." The goal, apparently, is to facilitate becoming "directly involved in the local Republican Central Committee so that you are an insider. This way," continues the manual, "you can get a copy of the local committee rules and a feel for who is in the current Republican Committee." The next step is to recruit conservative Christians to occupy vacant party posts or to run against moderates who "put the Republican Party ahead of principle."
“Central to the Christian Right's strategy is to exploit the national pattern of low voter participation by turning out their constituents in a strategically disciplined fashion and in greater proportion than the rest of the population. An important vehicle for achieving this goal is the ideology of Christian Reconstructionism or its stripped-down root, dominionism, which at once deepens the political motivation of their constituency and widens that constituency by systematically mobilizing a network of churches, many of which were politically uninvolved until the early 1990s.”
“Generally, Reconstructionism seeks to replace democracy with a theocratic elite that would govern by imposing their interpretation of "Biblical Law." Reconstructionism would eliminate not only democracy but many of its manifestations, such as labor unions, civil rights laws, and public schools. Women would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment beyond such crimes as kidnapping, rape, and murder to include, among other things, blasphemy, heresy, adultery, and homosexuality.”
The Public Eye document is historical and was published in 1994. Christian Reconstructionists have made great strides and now dominate the Republican Base.
From “Republican Gomorrah by Max Blumenthal: “Even though Manifesto- and its call for literally attacking the foundations of liberal democracy – went unnoticed by mainstream America, it sold a whopping 250,000 copies in its first year after publication. “What’s amazing about Christian Manifesto, “Frank Schaeffer remarked to me, “was that my father was practically calling for the overthrow of the United States government. If his words had come out of the mouth of anyone other than a white American it would have been called sedition. Instead, we were invited to the White House and I went swimming in Michael Ford’s pool.”

Watch Bill Maher: “On ‘Real Time’ Friday night Bill Maher pilloried climate change skeptics, particularly skeptics in the Republican party, insisting that they must "stop pretending climate change is a future problem."
Because of the election of a Black President and a growing non-white immigrant population; a rapidly growing, radical and potentially extremely violent White Nationalist movement is spinning off of our local right wing Republicans and extreme Libertarians.
Timothy McVeigh read White Nationalist books.
The White Nationalist goal is a Whites only nation within the borders of the USA. A new Civil War is their preferred way of accomplishing that goal. A Chester County White Nationalist type bomb making cell was infiltrated and in 2002 brought to justice by the State Police, Chester County Detectives, Coatesville Police and the USDoJ. There may be other more difficult to crack White Nationalist bomb making cells in existence in Chester County.

Look for themes of White Nationalist groups at political events. Some themes are "sovereign citizens" (tax evaders), “Oath Keepers”-military and police, "birthers" and signs that state Obama a fascist, a Nazi or a Marxist. Look for White Nationalist recruiters at the “Tea Parties” and other political events. A tattoo means a true believer; a swastika tattoo is obvious, among others there are “Nordic” tattoos.
“The sounds of violence are growing louder. The Idaho Citizens Constitutional Militia recently posted an opening for a "field sniper." Around the same time, an Ohio Militia member, face hidden by a bandana and voice distorted electronically, posted a video to YouTube. "People need to wake up and start buying some of these," he said as he displayed a semi-automatic rifle. ‘Things are real bad, and they're going to get a lot worse."
The “Patriot/White Nationalist” groups have co-mingled with established hate groups. This is an abreviated list of hate groups of Pennsylvania extremist groups from the Southern Poverty Law Center:
Keystone State Skinheads-Racist Skinhead-Chester County,PA
"The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, Inc."-Black Separatist-Coatesville,PA
Catholic Counterpoint-Radical Traditionalist Catholic-Broomall, PA
Sounds like a Halloween flick. The scariest thing is that it is real. Few people seem to get that it was Reaganomics that caused a second Great Depression that we (hopefully) have narrowly escaped from. The anti-government doctrine of Reaganism just won't die, no matter how many times it is killed dead.
Paul Krugman explains it well in today’s New York Times:
“Nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past.”-President Obama
I believe that what the Bush Administration did to us in their 8 year reign was not all that different than what the Nazis and Japan's military did to Germany and Japan 70 years ago. How on earth can anyone think it can be ignored?
Call them “The Terrorist Next Door” or “The Enemies Within”. The last one of note here in the Coatesville area was David Wayne Hull; the self declared Imperial Wizard of the Pennsylvania chapter White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He intended to blow up the Peach Bottom Power Plant. The attention to detail by Coatesville PD Detective Martin Quinn led to the infiltration of his organization by PA State Police and his arrest and conviction.
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.

The Enemies Within
By CHARLES M. BLOW
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." http://www.dailylocal.com/articles/2005/01/12/frontpage/13730113.txt
