WHOEVER NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE FAR - RIGHT REPUBLICAN PARTY BEWARE!


MORE 'STRANGE FRUIT' AS NEW FBI WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIMS BUREAU IS UNPREPARED FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISTS

What is falling through the historical cracks in our post 9/11 country?

Mike German, a former FBI agent who worked covert operations infiltrating far – right organizations that engaged in domestic terrorism has been recently disclosing certain aspects of his work that should alarm anyone not affiliated with the far – right Republican party.

Citizens complain about the erosion of civil rights, and rightfully so, but during the late eighties and throughout the nineties – FBI agents working in the field have complained of having their investigations curtailed of domestic terror groups by branch office heads and above; all the way to Washington headquarters and the Department of Justice.


Examine the news program recently broadcast at: http://tinyurl.com/7nwt9 where an FBI agent has turned to whistleblowing concerning his undercover work on domestic counter – terrorism and the FBI’s “dysfunctionality.”

The former agent believes that the “Lone Wolf” is not the most dangerous part of the scope of field investigations in his recent Washington Post piece at: http://tinyurl.com/8sr9c ; and recounts his difficulty in doing background organizational research citing Paul Hill, Michael Griffin, Eric Rudolph and others involved in the right – wing domestic terrorist organizations.

From Mike German’s Washington Post important commentary piece:


But every once in a while, a follower of these movements bursts violently into our world, with deadly consequences -- McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, Buford Furrow Jr., Paul Hill, to name just a few. And all these convicted murderers were identified as "lone extremists," the most difficult terrorists to stop because they act independently from any organization.
Or do they?


Tim McVeigh seemed able to find a militia meeting wherever he went. He was linked to militia groups in Arizona and Michigan, white supremacist groups in Oklahoma and Missouri, and at gun shows he sold copies of "The Turner Diaries," a racist novel written by the founder of a neo-Nazi organization. No one finds such groups by accident. Eric Rudolph, who planted bombs at the Atlanta Olympics, two abortion clinics and a gay nightclub, grew up in the Christian Identity movement, which identifies whites as God's chosen people and encourages the faithful to follow the biblical example of Phineas by becoming instruments of God's vengeance. Aryan Nations, formerly of Hayden Lake, Idaho, was a center of Christian Identity thought; not incidentally, Buford Furrow worked there as a security guard before going on a shooting rampage at a Jewish day-care center in Southern California. Paul Hill wrote of the need to take "Phineas actions" to prevent abortions and was so well known that the news media used him to speak in support of Michael Griffin's killing of abortion doctor David Gunn. That Hill later shot an abortion provider himself should have surprised no one.


The fact that these individuals, after being exposed to extremist ideology, each committed violent acts might lead a reasonable person to suspect the existence of a wider conspiracy. Imagine a very smart leader of an extremist movement, one who understands the First Amendment and criminal conspiracy laws, telling his followers not to depend on specific instructions.

And there are many widespread organizations which are lead by “very smart leader[s]” check out what he had to say on a PBS Charlie Rose Show last year at: http://tinyurl.com/crkaf ; or look at what trouble the former agent has had since leaving the FBI at: http://tinyurl.com/7zyvr and his statement after the ACLU decided to represent him at: http://tinyurl.com/adcd4
