Feds Fear a Neo-Nazi Insurrection by Militia Custom Built for the Talibunny
Federal authorities are completely freaked out by the possibility of an uprising of enraged neo-Nazis, set on the extermination of Barack Obama and his presidency – a security exposure they believe as potent as an attack by Al Qaeda, according to a report in Newsweek this week.
Waiting in the wings, of course, is the Talibunny for whom the politics of rage, hatred and despair in this campaign have seized her psyche like the first rush of crack in the pristine bloodstream of mall rat – and for whom the neo-Nazi movement provides a ready made army, steeled to take back America from the perfidies and heresies of an Obama administration.
“I don’t know that we’re seeing a resurgence of these groups,” Michael Ward, deputy assistant FBI director for counterterrorism, told NEWSWEEK. “But we are seeing an increase in rhetoric.”
Ward says the increasing anger of white supremacists has manifested itself in Internet postings and threats reported to law-enforcement agencies. What worries the FBI most, he says, are “lone wolves” who might be seething with anger and armed to the teeth but who do not show up on any government radar screens.
The Psychogeezer’s campaign was distinguished by its hunger to excite hatred, rage and political violence, a viler replay of the 2004 Bush campaign selling the threat of terrorism and attacking John Kerry’s readiness to confront it at every opportunity. The Psychogeezer campaign, however, was based completely on its ability to excite racial terror and rage after the Talibunny took control of its messaging.
The Talibunny started sending out coded messages to white supremists not long after she joined the campaign: Obama is ‘different’; Obama is a friend to ‘terrorists’ and nothing is known about who Obama ‘really is’. Not coincidentally, across the US, reports of threats against Obama, theft and vandalism of Obama signs – including increasing use of Nazi symbols – rose all through the summer and fall as Talibunny rallies turned into Nurembergesque festivals of hate, rage and terror.
So far, federal law enforcement has thwarted two organized efforts by white supremists to assassinate Obama, one that was supposed to have been consumated during the Denver DNC and, more recently, a demented plot by two guys from Tennessee and Arkansas that read like something out of a grad student film project. While it is likely the Psychogeezer-Talibunny campaign had nothing directly to do with these attempts, it is doubtless these neo-Nazi goons received solace and affirmation of their righteousness from their rallies of hate and rage.
What remains to be seen is if the Talibunny will make a formal alliance with these nascent Adkisson Brigades after the elections and presumably the ascension of an Obama administration. As if anyone needed confirmation, the Talibunny appointed herself the head of the GOP 2012 ticket this week, quipping to a reporter she isn’t putting up with all the foolish old man’s crap ‘for naught’.
The Talibunny is cunning enough to know she is without ally at the RNC establishment except for the desperate crazies who will do anything to stay in the game. She is adept at organizing forces to leverage herself into established power bases. As she has demonstrated successfully in Alaskan politics, she could pull together the snakehandler coalition and the neo-Nazis, and announce a new ‘GOP’ to take back America by God and by gun – and then threaten to split the party if they don’t give her the microphone in front of the band.
The timing would be fortuitous for Talibunny. Like Gemany after World War I, hundreds of thousands of desperate veterans will be roaming the streets shell-shocked and overwhelmed with rage at the horrors that have been inflicted upon them, abandoned by their government and left adrift amid the chaos of a crashing economy being manipulated by Wall Street’s organized crime syndicates. They’ll easy pickings for cult churches, neo-Nazi groups and factionalized politics.
The Talibunny’s confident voice and ceaseless accusations of liberal treason would provide an enemy and a creed for a motley crew of Jesus crazies, white supremists, survivalists and disaffected veterans. Talibunny, a true bible-believing crazy, would recognize her power to organize the Adkisson Brigades as a mesage from God – and confirmation of her righteous entitlement to the GOP ticket in 2012.
Christ: you and I posted at precisely the same moment. Unreal.
(My post has been delayed to 1730 Eastern War Time in deference to you, kind sir.)
You know, the good thing about your run-of-the-mill skinhead neo-nazi scumbags are that they really don’t blend in too well, as can be seen from your upload. Kind of a giveaway.
Yikes. That is going to give me nightmares tonight.
Wentworth?
@chicago bureau: Two posts enter. One post leaves.
@nojo: Well, like Wentworth he does have pretty dick-sucking lips. I am sure he will be popular in prison!
TJ: All Must Read The Economist Endorsement. It will make you come, at least a little. Best analysis of the american political scene I have ever seen.
This paragraph is simply beautiful:
“At the beginning of this election year, there were strong arguments against putting another Republican in the White House. A spell in opposition seemed apt punishment for the incompetence, cronyism and extremism of the Bush presidency. Conservative America also needs to recover its vim. Somehow Ronald Reagan’s party of western individualism and limited government has ended up not just increasing the size of the state but turning it into a tool of southern-fried moralism.”
And this:
“Is Mr Obama any better? Most of the hoopla about him has been about what he is, rather than what he would do. His identity is not as irrelevant as it sounds. Merely by becoming president, he would dispel many of the myths built up about America: it would be far harder for the spreaders of hate in the Islamic world to denounce the Great Satan if it were led by a black man whose middle name is Hussein; and far harder for autocrats around the world to claim that American democracy is a sham. America’s allies would rally to him: the global electoral college on our website shows a landslide in his favour. At home he would salve, if not close, the ugly racial wound left by America’s history and lessen the tendency of American blacks to blame all their problems on racism.”
And this:
“There is no getting around the fact that Mr Obama’s résumé is thin for the world’s biggest job. But the exceptionally assured way in which he has run his campaign is a considerable comfort. It is not just that he has more than held his own against Mr McCain in the debates. A man who started with no money and few supporters has out-thought, out-organised and out-fought the two mightiest machines in American politics—the Clintons and the conservative right.”
@homofascist: No kidding. Any chance you could at least put the picture below the fold, FCS?
@nojo: I thought Eminem had gone rogue.
FCS, you win. You scared the bejezzus out of me. I am getting ready for the end of days.
@RomeGirl: Eminem going rogue would be a Christmas album of Bing Crosby duets.
This is the truest thing in your citation. Let’s hope he can keep shop like that in the WH.
@Prommie: A man who started with no money and few supporters has out-thought, out-organised and out-fought the two mightiest machines in American politics—the Clintons and the conservative right.”
@FlyingChainSaw: Can’t tell if you’re still futzing the post, but when you’re done I can fix that photo so a third of it doesn’t disappear.
@nojo: How’s that?
@Prommie: Lurvs me the Economist. See the jam2 stream for a pic of Nabisco Jr. after he picked up my glasses and magazine completely unprompted for a quick pose some 7 years ago now. At my old job the subscription was part of our annual operating budget. Here I’m lucky to get a fresh pack of post-its.
So, if nobody else is going to say it: well, that guy has “fun” written all over him, doesn’t he?
@Prommie: The Economist also gets my respect for one of the first media organizations to support gay marriage way way way back in the mid-90s when the first volley of that kerfluffle was going on in Hawaii, and resulted the passage of DOMA.
I was a nerd who took the World Affairs elective class my senior year in lieu of pre-calc, and I was addicted to that magazine. It helped me understand the world far better than pre-calc would have.
@FlyingChainSaw: I was going to leave it full column width, but the modesty should be less frightening to the troops.
@nojo: Hey, didn’t you like that urinal? Did you get the email?
@Prommie: Loved it, sent back a response. I’m waiting for an Open Slot to post it, which might be — hmmm, 1730, you say? — well, right about now.
@rptrcub:
Also, it is great as a sleep aid. Very informative, but you can’t exactly call it thrilling prose…
Add to indicia of societal breakdown – armed robberies are up due in part to the economy. Albuquerque reported 140 for October. Bad guys are shifting to soft targets such as motorists, pizza delivery drivers, small businesses, homes and fast food restaurants as gas stations, banks and liquor stores have hardened up.
@nojo: Little Drummer Boy = Rouge Bowie
Add – sometimes you do cheer for the bad guys:
“Oct. 6 — A man wearing a baseball cap walked into a Compass Bank branch in the 12000 block of Sierra Grande NE, indicated to a clerk that he had a gun, took cash and left on a bicycle. Witnesses told police that the man was about 60 years old. ” Albuquerque Journal
@redmanlaw: I figured someone would catch that one — and whether it’s a typo, “Rouge Bowie” sounds better than Rogue…
Okay, heres the deal
Jesus loves EVERYBODY. Americans, Indians, Africans, Tribals, Australians, Jews,Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs. you name it and He loves them,without any discrimination what so ever. The gays & lesbians, transvestiaties, bisexuals.
These people are fanatics, mad men.
@Mccheezy: What are “Tribals” and “transvestiaties”?
@Nojo: 17,000 views on this post? Is that a Stinque record?
@SanFranLefty: I’d have to dip into the database to dope that out. Offhand, I’ve never seen a five-figure post.
We do have a few perennials. Chainsaw’s bank rants keep pulling ’em in.
