The establishment media wasted little time after the Southern Poverty
Law Center sent a letter to the Justice Department and the Department
of Homeland Security demanding the mailed fist of the state crack down
on Americans expressing opposition to an increasingly tyrannical federal
government.
“There are, in increasingly frightening numbers, cells of angry men
in the United States preparing for combat with the U.S. government. They
are usually heavily armed, blinded by an intractable hatred, often
motivated by religious zeal,” a Los Angeles Times op-ed claimed on March 8, a couple days after the SPLC letter went out warning of another Oklahoma City terrorist bombing.
The rant published in the second-largest metropolitan newspaper in
the country – following up on the heels of the grand lady of Mockingbird
propaganda, the New York Times – doesn’t mince words:
“They’re not jihadists. They are white, right-wing Americans, nearly
all with an obsessive attachment to guns, who may represent a greater
danger to the lives of American civilians than international
terrorists.”
Despite the ethnic diversity of the patriot movement, the LA Times
engages in brazen racism and deliberately singles out white people. This
feeds into the SPLC’s absurdist propaganda arguing folks actively
resisting constitutional violations perpetuated by the federal
government – from the trashing the Second Amendment to the Fourth and
beyond – are intimately linked to a minuscule and entirely marginalized
white supremacist movement. By raising a fantasy specter of Klansman
armed with AR-15s gunning for black and Latino people, the SPLC and the
establishment media are actively colluding in an attempt to demonize and
eventually destroy an increasingly effective political opposition.
As we noted in our response to the SPLC letter,
posted on the same day the LA Times op-ed piece appeared, it is “hardly
surprising the SPLC has decided to exploit the growing and diverse
movement opposed to a raft of recently proposed unconstitutional
firearms laws and label the movement extremist and akin to domestic
terrorism.”
Nothing petrifies urban liberals more than defenders of the Second
Amendment, especially when they demonstrate with brandished firearms.
“Patriot groups are motivated by a host of anti-government attitudes,
but their primary focus is guns,” the Times argues. “They are convinced
that the government is out to seize their weapons, even though most
legislation is focused on keeping guns out of the hands of criminals or
restricting the types of weapons that can be sold.”
The LA Times sheepishly decries the fact government is unable to do
much “to reverse this tide of belligerent ignorance” on the part of
“like-minded Neanderthals” who shelter and encourage “the Timothy
McVeighs of the world.”
Instead of a direct police state crack down and mass internment of
white people in concentration camps, the editorial staff of the Los
Angeles Times suggests a new COINTELPRO-like program designed to monitor
Americans upset by continual government usurpations and attacks on the
libertarian principles enshrined in the Constitution.
“These groups should be closely monitored, with resources adequate to
the task, even if it means shifting some homeland security money from
the hunt for foreign terrorists,” they write. As we noted, the groups
and individuals singled out by the SPLC include Alex Jones, We Are Change, Oath Keepers, the Constitution Party, the Tyranny Response Team and thousands of other Americans.
Left unmentioned here is the obvious fact the real enemy of
government all along has not been a largely fantastical al-Qaeda and a
comical Saudi hooked up to a dialysis machine in an Afghan cave, but a
considerable and growing domestic patriot movement determined to prevent
the incremental move toward authoritarianism and tyranny.
In 2011, we pointed out
the government’s attempt to reconstitute its elaborately fashioned Arab
and Islamic terror meme into a “white al-Qaeda” threat. “Prior to the
events in Norway [Anders Breivik's murderous terror attacks], the
Department of Homeland Security released a propaganda video
characterizing white middle class Americans as terrorists and members
of white al-Qaeda, a term designed to conflate the image of the
CIA-created Islamic terror group and ‘rightwing extremists’ in America,”
we wrote.
The overriding absurdity of the LA Times editorial is the obvious
fact that it is not merely white people who are determined to restore
America’s constitutional heritage.
It is people of all ethnic persuasions.
