News Roundup for June 22, 2011
The Associated Press today has an in-depth story about the revival of the Inland Northwest as a haven for anti-government extremists and white supremacists. The small town of Kalispell, Montana, has recently seen some new and infamous arrivals, including white supremacist stage mother April Gaede, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, and Randy Weaver of Ruby Ridge standoff fame.
A Newark man was indicted today on charges of intimidating and murdering Victoria Carmen White after learning that White was a transgender woman. The slaying marks yet another example of the vulnerability of gays and transgender people. The SPLC reported recently that LGBT people are by far the group most targeted by violent hate crime.

Evidence presented today detailed the near-depletion of the SWAT team’s ammunition in the gun battle, Poplawski’s repeated use of racial slurs during the standoff, and his admission of murdering three Pittsburgh officers.
Five more members of Latino gangs in North County, Calif., have been arrested today in connection with a wave of anti-black hate crimes in California, this time dating back as far as April.

Okay, now I’m ready to say that, since I do have SOME African ancestry (in addition to white and Native American), I would be ready to be deported to Africa. I am so tired of being targeted by every racial group because of my ancestry. The only problem, since people affiliated or formerly affiliated with JP Morgan are now grabbing the land in African countries, which is the next financial bubble to burst that’s tied to U.S. universities and pensions, farmers are being evicted and made refugees.
Other than that, I’d be ready to leave in a heart beat. There is too much hatred, division, violence in this country. When I say hatred, it’s to the point that in this country I believe we have the worse in family unity as well.

I forgot to add, I am an American Citizen. I’m just responding to the white nationalist saying they would deport every non-white.

Are the Oath Keepers white supremacist? From what I can tell, their sole goal is to promote insubordination amongst those who work for government agencies. Is that correct?

Jonas Rand,
I was speaking of the latino gangs targeting blacks. If this keeps up, it will be more of us planning to seek asylum-refugee status in other countries. This story is world-wide news, in addition, it’s worldwide news about traveling to Mexico.
