This article in "Business Insider"  recently came to my attention. I include the link, and below is my commentary.

Russia could exploit its ties with US white nationalist groups to encourage election violence, experts warn

 They highlight the role of Russia in steering the violent White Supremacist movement. It is based on reports from the DHS and FBI this year which Trump tried to suppress.  In particular they focus on the US ties of the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) This "Business Insider story was written on Novemvber 3. I had the entire picture put together in July and August, and sent my report to some of the people mentioned in this article.

The Media and Administration have coined a new term for the threat we saw arise on January  6. "Violent domestic extremism". This is wrong. It is a Foreign Influenced Terrorist Insurgency". The difference in terminology used is the difference between defeating it or watching the United States descend into chaos. Why is that?

Because the command and control centers for this insurgency are not Gun Clubs and Biker Bars. They are Churches. Churches connected to the "Christian Identity" Movement, which is the "Mother" of American Neo-Nazism, Aryan Nations, The Order, Skinheads the KKK, and the majority of the heavily armed anti-government militias. And they communicate with encryption or code online, in chat rooms and other platforms. They were at the center of the far reaching Timothy McVeigh Conspiracy which involved dozens of people, and a Christian Identity Movement Compound in Oklahoma called "Elohim City". Our new Attorney General Merrick Garland was the head of the McVeigh prosecution, so he knows that more than the two people caught and convicted were involved.

The Christian Identity Movement is not itself a formal Church. It is a network of Ministers and groups that divide into 4 or 5 person cells to prevent Informants and infiltrators. They recruit in the Prisons, the Military, the Police, and families. They have been growing since the mid 20th Century and have already been involved in plots for sedition, assassinations, kidnapping, terrorist bombings, drug trafficking and Bank Robbery. Their members have staged shootouts and sieges with Federal Agents. It is only a recent phenomena, since 9-11 that American Neo Nazis came under Russian influence.

The implications are that this threat is not simply a Law Enforcement issue. It is National Security. Which means that the US Government is going to have to deal with these Nazi affiliated Churches in the same manner that governments addressed the Radical Imams who were recruiting from their Madrasas to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, training Martyrs, making explosives, and hitting soft targets. We are going to need to use what is there on the Russian involvement, go to FISA Court, and start digging into this rats nest of Christian Identity Churches that are the sanctuaries for the Aryan Nations, KKK, and the other White Supremacists Militias. You have to realize that the hard core of this terrorist threat is not political, they are religious fanatics, and are prepared to be suicide bombers, not just "violent demonstrators".

Nobody wants to say this, or think about it, except for the small handful of people who are investigating and watching them. But the next phase will hit soon, and this issue will soon become unavoidable. 

Addendum- Southern Poverty Law Center list of Christian Identity Movement Neo-Nazi Church affiliates (Source, Wikipedia) 

Christian Identity is a label applied to a wide variety of loosely affiliated believers and churches with a white supremacist and antisemitic theology that claims that White people are the true descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel.[46]

The following groups have been listed as Christian Identity hate groups in the SPLC's annual reports (years in parentheses refer to the year in which the group is included):

Today in History, July 17, 1918- Czar of Russia and Family Executed

Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. By July 1918, Russia was engulfed in a hellish civil war which would cost millions of lives and damage a country already reeling from the devastation of World War I. Swept away in this hellfire was the old Tsarist monarchy, last headed by Nicholas II. Nicholas had abdicated in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept through the nation. Since then he had been a prisoner of successive governments, first the Provisional Government and then the administration run by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The Romanovs were shipped from place to place, eventually coming to Yekaterinburg in April, in the Urals, an area known for its hard Communist sympathies. As the White Russian forces grew closer, Lenin and his associates ordere...

Milton Friedman- The Man Who Revived Fascist Economics, and Called It "Freedom".

Image
  You may have heard the name before, as he was featured in a PBS Series, titled "Free To Choose", also the title of his most famous and misnamed book. He was a prolific author, and widely publicized by Conservative News Media and Magazines, especially by the followers of William F. Buckley. In fact, Milton Friedman is the current top economic advisor to the so-called "movement conservatives", from Nixon to Reagan, to Newt Gingrich and Trumpworld,  and is still to this day the main architect of the GOP approach to dealing with the present economic crisis, though he has been keeping a low profile. A very low profile. In fact, six feet under. He is currently dead, and has been for 14 years, yet his horrific philosophy continues to stalk about, haunting us like the living dead animated by a Voodoo curse, burning live Chickens, chanting incantations, and propitiating the irrational forces of Britain's Adam Smith and his "Invisible Hand". (Which is the hand...

How Do You Know If What You Are Reading Is True Or Useful? - A One Year Old Facebook Post

Image
 How do we know whether what we are reading is true, or for that matter useful? There are many journalists in the US today who are not only excellent writers, but are just good people. They are well informed, have the best intentions and are highly professional.  I have to force myself to write, and it comes with great difficulty because I am blocked, and had little journalistic training. Without an editor I feel lost, and feel as though I want to rewrite everything or throw it out after I read it. Reading books and articles is my favorite hobby, and when I'm doing that I am in my happy place.  As of now I have 30 News and Magazine sites bookmarked and I read them everyday as a routine. I usually read anywhere from 2-10 articles in each, depending upon what newsworthy events are breaking that day. Plus I have a number of books on history that I have going at any one time. This is no big accomplishment or unique, it's just how I occupy my time and is my form of work these ...
