Also, reminds me of this old joke - when you're looking out at all the planes taxiing, how can you tell which one is Alitalia?  Look for the hair under the wings.

Putting this on notice. Also, can we press forward with the issue of the church and tax status and where the line is regarding politics? It seems to be much more prevalent with the evangelical 'lone preacher' types, but it's getting worse not better.

When Southern Baptist "ministers" figure out a way to sanctify suicide bombings for Jesus, they'll officially become the American Taliban.  Give it 5 or so years.

Ammon Bundy and allies build dangerous network of militia members, report says

Oregon refuge occupation leader Ammon Bundy and his allies have exploited COVID-19 fears to build a dangerous network of militia members and other far-right factions, according to a new report by two groups that track extremism.

Bundy, who led a 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon in 2016, began building the People’s Rights network in March, says the report by the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights and the Montana Human Rights Network.

Since then, the report says, the network has rapidly grown to more than 20,000 members across the country.

The network, which the report refers to as “Ammon’s Army,” includes militia members, anti-maskers, conspiracy theorists, preppers and anti-vaccination activists. Its rapid growth has been boosted by the joining of Bundy’s far-right paramilitary supporters cultivated from armed standoffs over the years with a large base of new activists radicalized through protests over COVID-19 health directives, the report says.

Bundy has put together a team of 153 “assistants” in 16 states, it says. They are Oregon, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Washington.

“Since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve documented the division and violence sown by Ammon Bundy and his far-right followers in the Northwest,” said Devin Burghart, president and executive director of Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights.

Despite all the talk of rights and freedom, the report says, “a culture of violence and fear lies at the center of the People’s Rights message.”

Expand  
  Quote

“As Bundy told the crowd at the third meeting of the group, if local, state, or federal officials attempt to enforce laws that the group doesn’t like, People’s Rights is prepared to adopt a violent posture. ... Already there have been significant clashes and growing rage. In the context of the pandemic, it puts the lives of community members and public servants at risk, straining democratic institutions and damaging civil society.”

Expand  
  Quote

Many of the “assistants,” the report says, have been involved in extensive far-right activism. And the majority of those in its local leadership positions are women, which the report says is a first for modern far-right networks.

While some describe the People’s Rights network as “anti-government,” the report says, its leaders actually want governmental power to be used to protect the “righteous” against “wicked” liberals.

Expand  
  Quote

People’s Rights leaders also have proposed armed enclaves in which “righteous” neighbors stand against the “wicked,” the report says. Bundy’s violence-tinged rhetoric -- such as telling followers that they would “be like a den of rattlesnakes” if their rights are threatened -- has attracted many militia members, Three Percenters, Oath Keepers and other paramilitary groups, according to the report.

People’s Rights leaders have been members in the Southwest Missouri Militia, Montana Militia, Washington State Militia, III% United Patriots and Southern California Patriots, among others, it says.

It's definitely a niche market for DC Romance as a genre; but then again, there are a lot of secluded shadowy niches in DC, pun intended. Plus for some the pursuit is part of the climax. Slow build during the day's work and hot frenzied lust culminating on the expansive gleaming oak desk after a pursuit through the Treasury Department halls at dusk. May not have been what the non romance insurrectionists had in mind, but there is a segment of the populace where power, money, and sex will always bring readers. I think the Treasury Department title should have been 'Money for Nothing, Chicks For Free' but that one was taken obviously so they went with "He Made A Deposit In The Burglar-Proof Vault."

Those pesky cameras and security guards, though. Much easier to write historical in a way and avoid the tech altogether.

 

 

 

 

ICYMI, the Burglar-Proof Vault is real and is part of the Treasurer's Office.

How do these self-described hard-working Americans find the free time to form militias? I know I sure as fuck don't have it. "Government's taking away my freedom but somehow I've got loads of free time to form militias" reeks of Clive Bundy arguing that  having to pay rent on taxpayer land is oppressive while having enough free time and disposable income to blow in Vegas. So sick of these addicted to victimhood traitors claiming to be patriots, who have lived their entire adult lives in the Overton Window set by the Reagan Revolution that they supported (and still do), and who freely avail themselves to the benefits of socialism, never acknowledge it, then preach how they're opposed to it.

Eat shit and die, fuckwits.

Wait, the ranking members got to invite witnesses.  They picked one, and the one they picked is himself a Domestic Terrorist?  

I'm sure there's a long game here I'm not seeing, but that's a bold move Cotton.

The long and short game is they don't give a fuck and they know their base doesn't give a fuck either.  This is what they want.  It's a feature, not a bug.

White Nationalist on White Nationalist hate speech gets one of the leaders of the Charlottesville, VA protest in jail.

The guy whose wife was threatened is the leader of a group called the "Bowl Patrol" which is named after the haircut of Dylann Roof who was sentenced to death for killing 9 black people in their South Carolina church.

  Quote

CONCORD, N.H (AP) — A self-proclaimed white nationalist was sentenced Wednesday to nearly three-and-a-half years in federal prison for threatening to rape the wife of a man who was part of a separate racist group that he believed was harassing him.

Christopher Cantwell, a 40-year-old New Hampshire resident and radio host, was found guilty in September of extortion and threatening to injure property or reputation, but not guilty of cyberstalking related to a series of threats he made toward a Missouri man over the Telegram messaging app.

Remember this guy?

Here he was in the vice video from Charlottesville saying his goal is to be more capable of violence:

That video is rage inducing.  And no remorse either in the follow up video.  I don't think I could drive for uber or lyft without some kind of barrier between the front and the back like taxis and police vehicles have.  Too many spoiled and entitled psychos out there and plenty of these types of videos on the internet to prove it.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A Vienna man was sentenced today to 33 months in prison for his role in a conspiracy that involved multiple swatting attacks targeting journalists, a Virginia university, a historic Virginia church, an Islamic Center in Arlington, Texas, and a former U.S. Cabinet member.

 

“Swatting attacks are serious crimes that disrupt the operations of local emergency agencies, take first responders away from real emergencies, and place victims, community members, and law enforcement officers in grave danger,” said Raj Parekh, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “EDVA will continue to bring to justice those who threaten public safety with these menacing hoaxes, especially when those threats are motivated by racial or religious animus, which are intolerable and have no place in our society.”

According to court documents, John William Kirby Kelley, 20, conspired with John Cameron Denton, a former leader of the Atomwaffen Division in Texas, and others to conduct “swatting” calls. Swatting is a harassment tactic that involves deceiving emergency dispatchers into believing that a person or persons are in imminent danger of death or bodily harm, thus causing the dispatchers to send police and emergency services to an unwitting third party’s address.

“Swatting is not only harassment, but these calls also waste resources and put innocent people and first responders in danger,” said James A. Dawson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office Criminal Division. “The FBI and our law enforcement partners take all threats seriously and investigate instances of swatting. Law enforcement and first responders put their lives at risk every day, and swatting instances which increase that risk will not be tolerated.”

Kelley managed the online chatroom where conspirators chose targets and regularly coordinated the swatting calls. Many of the conspirators held white supremacist views and targeted individuals because they were motivated by racial animus. Kelley communicated with these white supremacists and used racial epithets.

Kelley is a former student at Old Dominion University. In early November 2018, he asked conspirators to swat Old Dominion University, which conspirators ultimately did on November 29 and December 4, 2018. In response to the bomb threat on November 29, 2018, university officials issued a shelter-in-place order and law enforcement officers were forced to search and clear every building on campus.

During the conspiracy, members placed at least 134 swatting calls to jurisdictions across the country. In addition to the swatting calls against Old Dominion University, conspirators conducted two additional swatting calls in the Eastern District of Virginia, including a call to the Alfred Street Baptist Church in November 2018, and to a former U.S. Cabinet member living in northern Virginia in January 2019.

During today’s sentencing, the Court applied both a hate crime and an official victim enhancement after finding that Kelley participated in a conspiracy that, in part, targeted individuals because of their race or status as government officials.

Raj Parekh, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and James A. Dawson, Special Agent in Charge, Criminal Division, FBI Washington Field Office, made the announcement after sentencing by Senior U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Carina A. Cuellar prosecuted the case. FBI’s Memphis Field Office provided significant assistance investigating this case.

A copy of this press release is located on the website of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. Related court documents and information are located on the website of the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia or on PACER by searching for Case No. 1:20-cr-82.

New Report Warns of Rising Threat of Domestic Terrorism
President Biden requested the intelligence community complete the assessment shortly after taking office, and his administration has made fighting domestic terrorism a priority.

WASHINGTON — A new intelligence report delivered to Congress on Wednesday by the Biden administration warned about the rising threat of militias and white supremacists, adding urgency to calls for more resources to fight the growing problem of homegrown extremism in the United States.

In particular, the intelligence assessment highlighted the threat from militias, predicting that it would be elevated in the coming months because of “contentious sociopolitical factors,” likely a reference to the fallout from the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob and the increasingly partisan political climate.

Racially motivated violent extremists, such as white supremacists, were most likely to conduct mass casualty attacks against civilians while militias typically targeted law enforcement and government personnel and facilities, the report said. Lone offenders or small cells of extremists were more likely than organizations to carry out attacks, it said.

President Biden requested the comprehensive threat assessment shortly after he took office in the wake of the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, which laid bare the toxic domestic extremism that has shaken the country. Only the brief executive summary was declassified and made public while a classified version was sent to Congress and the White House.
