The New York Times is running a story about white supremacist groups infiltrating the US military in preparation for the "coming race war". Says Steven Barry, a former Special Forces officer and National Alliance "military unit coordinator":
Light infantry is your branch of choice because the coming race war and the ethnic cleansing to follow will be very much an infantryman's war. It will be house-to-house, neighborhood-by-neighborhood until your town or city is cleared and the alien races are driven into the countryside where they can be hunted down and 'cleansed.' ... As a professional soldier, my goal is to fill the ranks of the United States Army with skinheads. As street brawlers, you will be useless in the coming race war. As trained infantrymen, you will join the ranks of the Aryan warrior brotherhood."
The Southern Poverty Law Center has a report on this here.
[tags: hate groups ]
Extremist hate groups exist everywhere, what to do with them?
By encouraging ties between the fundamentalists and the white supremacist groups it is a small step to use Dembski's ID justifications of space aliens and anti evolution arguments. This simple misdirection of substituting one alien group for another should allow the cooption of these groups.
Space aliens are potentially a much greater threat to everything supremacist groups believe in, including national security. It should be possible to whip the supremacist groups into a frenzy watching for space aliens. They could be channeled into astronomy courses and cosmology programs, all in the name of impending space alien invasions. It would make for interesting national meetings, tattooed skin head graduate students giving talks.
"Space aliens are potentially a much greater threat to everything supremacist groups believe in, including national security."
Reminds me of the movie "Independence Day", where rednecks get to "kick alien butt". I wouldn't be suprised if the skinheads enjoyed that movie. Somehow though, I don't think Seth Shostak has alot to worry about.
