BILL WHITE BASHING

Some folks over on OPP have come up with a new way to bash Bill White. Now you all remember just a few weeks ago when Bill staged a one-man protest outside a Holiday Inn holding up the sign you see in the picture. That was a bad move - a really bad move.

You see, that sign is an open invitation to folks who have Photo Shop. There are a lot of entries so far - and I will just put a few of them up. They are being circulated all around the internet. Click on them to see full picture.


COLD SHOT

This may be the best Cold Shot to date. Nikki takes on this new-found omnipotence of Bill White and Hal Turner who seem to think that they are gifted with some sort of power bestowed upon them by their White God.

The second half deals with hate mail and fan mail received by Citizens Against Hate and a message from an ex-racist.

Blevins - No White - Just Basic Black

Here we go again. It’s posturing and feather preening time, once more, for the Nazi’s. The National Alliance is in the toilet. The National Socialist Movement is barely treading water. Aryan Nations is genuflecting before the Klan in hopes of rejuvenation. You would think that the last thing any of the racist Nazi’s would be looking to do is puff out their chest, extol their virtues, or declare themselves viable. However, they are not really known for being rational or cognizant human beings.

Now, it is no secret that Michael Blevins, better known to most as Vonbluvens, has some serious mental illness problems, is a vicious racist, and just doesn’t know where home is. After leaving the NSM because of their Satanist connections, we lost track on how many new groups he attempted to start and how many times he hooked up with Bill White and left again. His rollicking declarations of loyalty and fealty to the white race and to the “cause” have been met with derision and contempt by others within the movement. The ambivalence displayed by Blevins has become the source of merciless scorn from his brethren.

And, he did it again. After joining Bill White’s American National Socialist Worker’s Party and being appointed Florida State Leader, it seemed that Blevins was on the road to recovering some sense of direction. Yesterday, he resigned once more. Actually, the handwriting was on the wall as he had been toying with another group for some time. Seeing himself as a “Christian,” he has decided to start a National Socialist group for Christians called “American National Unity.” Of course it is somewhat of an oxymoron – but we must consider the source.

Michael considers himself an artist and does a fair job at “cartoonish” characterizations. For awhile, he considered leaving the movement and devoting more time to his art. As he is unemployed, one must wonder how his wife Bernadette is coping through all of this. One must also wonder at his penchant for fashion.

Throughout all of the on-again off-again allegiances declared by Blevins, it appeared that his biggest concern was not the ideology or the make-up of the group, but what kind of uniforms they would wear – and what color.

While a member of the National Socialist Movement it became pretty obvious that he had a real hook for a beret and was a real stickler for correct placement of patches and insignias on the NSM uniform. He even dedicated a radio show to sewing and ironing of rally regalia.

In this recent bout over fashion, it also became clear that he coveted basic black. Of course, we can understand that this fashion guru was knowledgebale about the “slimming effect” that black seems to have, as well as the understanding that black can always be “dressed up” or “dressed down.”

Michael Blevins, whether unstable or controlled, lacks the aplomb, foresight, and leadership ability to ever be a major player in this thing the racists call a movement. Like an impetuous child, Blevins engages in childish impulses and knee-jerk reactions across the internet. He runs the gamut in attempts to fit into the racist enclave of our society. From hardened racist to remorseful Christian, Michael Blevins’ list of characters is a long one. Through the years, Blevins has provided us with great amusement and sometimes great anger.

It’s easy to laugh at the ambivalence and buffoonery of Vonbluvens. It’s equally easy to feel sadness and pity for the malady which prevents him from being a functioning part of society. And, it takes very little effort for us to rage at his preposterous and sometimes despicable calls to violence through his radio shows. Knowing that the radio show was coming from the same house which housed a day care center, gave us no trouble when it came to expressing outrage and anger.

It’s interesting to note that the racist right has been home to many unstable and emotionally disturbed people – far more than you find within the general mainstream population - proportionately, that is. Violence, mayhem, domestic abuse, drugs, alcohol, mental illness, self-loathing, and general dysfunction are far too prevalent to be mere coincidence. Watching people like Bill White and Michael Blevins self-destruct in that downward spiral of madness is never pleasant. One cannot help but wonder what could have been if that potential had been channeled in the right direction.

Yet, as someone once said – you have to laugh to keep from crying.

That Michael Blevins is an insignificant character in the bigger picture is a given. As a matter of fact, there are those who will wonder why I have even visited this non-issue. To them I would say, I visited it because often what is a non-issue today becomes a much bigger issue tomorrow. I am oft reminded of a young man who thought he was a Nazi. Plagued with a debilitating disability, Hardy Lloyd, much like Blevins, was deemed insignificant by those he tried so hard to impress. His website and his rants were met with the same castigation as is Vonbluvens. He was used by what he believed were his “peers” when it was beneficial, and cast out as a leper when he became what they believed was an “embarrassment.” Today, Hardy is spending his days weaving baskets and being medicated after placing a bullet through his girlfriend’s head.

I have witnessed many things from the racist right in my lifetime. I have seen, first hand, the carnage and the grief, and the fear that they leave behind as their calling card. As we watch these groups fall apart at the seams and clap our hands, we must be ready, not only for the fallout, but for the new species that is certain to evolve. And, we must be cognizant of the fact that there are more Hardy Lloyd’s and Michael Blevins’ out there – just waiting to be somebody.

A BLUSTER, BLUFF & EMPTY SHOW



We knew it was coming. We knew he couldn’t hold it together much longer. And, we knew that Bill White was overdue for another meltdown. The disabling behavioral disorder that has plagued Bill most of his life mandates that he be treated as a universally renowned individual who is above reproach and certainly the prime stabilizing factor in a world out of control.



Realizing that Bill has been rendered somewhat insignificant in the grand scheme of the racist right, doesn’t ameliorate the fact that he is struggling for a comeback and is still making an absolute ass out of himself in the process, or that he continues to fabricate on his website.



Granted, we are delighted that he aided us in furthering our outrage at the Satanic worshipping of the NSM Chairman’s wife and the wholly abominable interactions they were having with teens. However, since he left the National Socialist Movement there has been a multitude of misinformation, gossip, and outright lies published by White.



With Bill White, nothing is sacred except his ego, that is. He has no compunction about publishing names, addresses, and phone numbers of those he believes have wronged him and often goes even further by publishing the same information about family members of these parties. Never mind that 9 times out of 10 the information proffered is erroneous and places innocent bystanders in harms way.



Earlier this week, the Winter Edition of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Report came out featuring a story about the Satan’s Gate shake up within the NSM. Alexander Zaitchik authored an accurate description of what took place and how it affected the National Socialist Movement. Zaitchik’s report befittingly placed Bill White as a key player in crippling the NSM, and chronicling his history of disloyalty and untrustworthiness, Bill took great exception. Of course, that ‘exception’ materialized on his website, and of course, it is fraught with more than just a little distortion.



In his continuous efforts at self-importance, Bill attempts to convince his readers that he somehow “exposed” Zaitchik as being an “SPLC informer.” In fact, what Bill White did was what he does to everyone who he doesn’t like – he published the personal information on Zaitchik and, of course, his family members.



It is interesting to note that both Bill White and shock-jock Hal Turner have this tendency to put this kind of information out there hoping that some demented individual will act on it and do their dirty work for them.



Next White claims that the article published by Zaitchek was somehow in retaliation for Bill’s “outing” him. Bill takes great issue with the author’s characterization of him as being “untrustworthy” and an “anarchist” and claiming that no white activist should have anything to do with him. Well…if the shoe fits…



Within the mental residence that Bill White’s mind calls home, there appears to be a cog out of whack – a gear that doesn’t shift. The article written by Zaitchek, “Nazi’s Falling,” was about a series of events and the people and groups that played out the drama. Of course, if you are Bill White, seeing your name in print generates the false illusion that it is all about you. Zaitchek did a superb job of capturing the true Bill White. We don’t even have to look at our assessment of Bill’s ‘trustworthiness.’ We can look right in his own movement. Don Black of Stormfront will attest to his lack of integrity. Alex Linder of Vanguard News Network will confirm his lack of loyalty. And, Jeff Schoep, et. al. of the National Socialist Movement will tell you in a heartbeat that Bill cannot be trusted.



As Zaitchik mentioned, there were dozens of people who ragged on Jeff Schoep and warned him about Bill White. Even Schoep admits this and wishes he would have listened. Narcissists are, by-and-large, devoid of integrity largely because the condition warrants, indeed necessitates, loyalty only to oneself.



I might disagree that Bill White is an anarchist. So would most anarchists as he gained no favor among them when he professed to be one. In fact, he was all but shunned by those who saw him as an anomaly and one who couldn’t be trusted. Throughout his metamorphosis and his chameleonic life, he has never really been anything. He sucked at being an anarchist. He sucked at being a Third Positionist, and he sucks at being a Nazi. Actually, he sucks at being a human being, as well. People who are narcissistic seem to believe that they can be anyone they want to be. The trouble is – they can’t because, in most instances, they lack the ability to work and play well with others.



Further, to Bill’s consternation, Zaitchik portrays Bill as an ‘informer,’ to which Bill takes adamant exception. It’s funny how his mind works. He doesn’t believe himself an informer – just a righter of wrongs. However, unconsciously or deliberately, Bill White eventually ‘informs’ on everyone whether it’s to the police or to the public. When he first teamed up with the National Socialist Movement we were all taking bets on how long this would last and licking our chops in anticipation of the information that would be forthcoming once the honeymoon was over. Of course, we knew that we would have to wade through a lot of fabricated minutia to find the pearls. He certainly didn’t let us down as he immediately began to air all the dirty laundry of the NSM.



In one truly humorous sentence, Bill makes the following observation:



“The SPLC and the ADL promote white "leaders" that serve *their* purposes, and they attack white leaders that don't.”


First of all, that’s called politics. Second of all, Bill White is one of the most notable of all of the racists for “attacking leaders” who don’t serve his purposes. He attacks the leaders and their families on a very personal level. But, Bill wouldn’t see this. He would not be able to admit that what he hates in others are the things that he most hates about himself.


After watching Bill over the years we have become quite good at “reading” him. We knew that a meltdown wasn’t far from occurring because he is not receiving the attention that he needs and believes he deserves. His website is losing ground. His new group is not moving forward as he knows it should. He hasn’t been interviewed lately. The letters he keeps sending to news sources aren’t getting the attention that he thinks they so rightly deserve. No one from the media is hounding him about plans for the next demonstration because he doesn’t have any. This is totally unacceptable to one who believes he is the great white hope.


Hence, he needs to bolster himself to the handful of “followers,” that he has so he publishes this:


“Days after a group of homosexual Jews at the Southern Poverty Law Center issued a bogus report claiming that the Vinlander Social Club was topping the list of violent skinheads, thousands of members of the news media, whose IPs can be clearly traced to their organizations, have turned to Overthrow.com to learn that the Vinlander social club is heavily infiltrated by the FBI and that its violent activities are being directed by agents of the Southern Poverty Law Center who have infiltrated the group.”



Now, we know this is not true. There are not “thousands” of reporters who even care about the Vinlanders, and those who do would not even dream of going to his website for any kind of information. In point of fact, he is the one who has been “outed” over and over again. The media, those who follow the racist scene, law enforcement, and other racist groups realize that he plays very loose with the truth and any use of information published by the likes of Bill White is risky at best.



Additionally, Alexander Zaitchik made the following statement about our involvement in the National Socialist Movement’s disablement:


“The party's problems began last June, when Citizens Against Hate discovered that NSM's Tulsa post office box was shared by The Joy of Satan Ministry, in which the wife of NSM chairman emeritus Clifford Herrington is High Priestess. Knowing that NSM ally and hate-radio host Hal Turner was a Catholic-raised convert to the white supremacist theology of Christian Identity, the anti-racist group decided to plant a metaphorical banana peel under NSM's unsuspecting jackboot.”


That “metaphorical banana peel” served more than one purpose – it also further alienated Bill White from the rest of the movement. We predicted what would happen if the misstep occurred – and it did, on cue. And, Bill White acted in precisely that foreseen manner. When Zaitchik said that “it couldn’t have been scripted better in Tinsel Town,” I had to laugh because the cast made it easy – all they had to do was be themselves.


At this point in time, Bill has not recovered. He is struggling to be somebody once more, but the road is really rocky now. He has run his bluff too often on people and they are realizing more and more that he is a bluster, a bluff and an empty show. However, I would not write him off just yet. Bill has this uncanny resilience that has kept him afloat longer than most people thought. While the huge majority are sick to death of his antics and insanity, there are a few misfits who will follow. Also, he has a certain appeal to newcomers and that could work in his favor. One thing is for certain, however. Bill White lives in a very lonely world right now.

TEENS AGAINST HATE!

Every once in awhile, something happens that restores one's faith in human nature and the world. Sometime back I was approached by a group of teens who wanted to get involved and help in our fight against racism, prejudice, and bigotry. I have visited with them from time to time and today they opened a "Teens Against Hate" site on My Space. It's priceless!

Lacey Montgomery is the leader of the group and an absolutely beautiful young lady both inside and out. These kids are taking this business to heart, hearing our call, and diving in! Kudos to Lacey and friends. Please stop by, sign in, and give them all a round of applause!

SATAN'S GATE REVISITED...

Saluting, for Schoep, must be a lot harder these days as his once heralded, "Fastest growing neo-Nazi group" is now being referred to as "Noticebaly Smaller." This morning, the Southern Poverty Law Center published their Winter edition of "Intelligence Report" and Citizens Against Hate, along with Bill White, took top honors for crippling the National Socialist Movement.

"The anti-racist group decided to plant a metaphorical banana peel under NSM's unsuspecting jackboot," stated Alexander Zaitchik, reporter for the SPLC. Zaitchik did a stupendous job in chronicling the events which led to the NSM going on the skids.

TO ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Nazis Falling
How anti-racist activists -- aided and abetted by Bill White -- tripped up the National Socialist Movement.
by Alexander Zaitchik



It couldn't have been scripted any better in Tinsel Town. After surging ahead of the sieg-heiling pack in membership and notoriety, the "Hollywood Nazis" of the National Socialist Movement have imploded in a debacle featuring hate-radio jocks, anti-racist provocateurs, superhuman egos, allegations of underage sex, and Satan.
The party's problems began last June, when Citizens Against Hate discovered that NSM's Tulsa post office box was shared by The Joy of Satan Ministry, in which the wife of NSM chairman emeritus Clifford Herrington is High Priestess. Knowing that NSM ally and hate-radio host Hal Turner was a Catholic-raised convert to the white supremacist theology of Christian Identity, the anti-racist group decided to plant a metaphorical banana peel under NSM's unsuspecting jackboot.

In early July, Citizens Against Hate member "Tony Willow" called in to Turner's show (that night featuring NSM Minister of Information Michael Blevins) and informed him of the Satanic connection. The hate-jock took the bait. On July 3, Turner posted a message on his website declaring that unless NSM severed all connections to Satanism, the group would no longer have access to free or discounted air time on the Turner Radio Network. Within NSM ranks, meanwhile, a bitter debate was sparked over the propriety of Herrington's Joy of Satan connections.

Appearing on cue to keep things rolling was none other than Bill White, the irascible and pompous 29-year-old NSM media handler and veteran of extremist causes and groups across the left-right spectrum. As Citizens Against Hate had hoped, White responded to Turner with a snap and a snarl, both defending Mrs. Herrington's membership in the Joy of Satan -- "Her religious views are very similar to the Radical Traditionalism and Aryan Paganism shared by most of the NSM's leadership," he wrote -- and questioning Turner's motives for threatening the NSM.

The real reason for Turner's attack, White strongly implied, was money. "Turner," White wrote, "has been needing additional cash to maintain his radio network for several months, and has been negotiating for additional fees from the NSM for several weeks."

In response to White's rebuttal, a furious Turner promptly cancelled NSM's program. "This man," wrote Turner of White, "[has] wrecked the NSM radio show on the biggest pro-white media outlet in the world. How much more damage is Bill going to be allowed to do before somebody puts a stop to it?"


NSM Chairman Jeff Schoep took the question seriously. Schoep soon suspended White in an attempt to muzzle him and put an end to his prolific Internet rants, which increasingly took aim at both Turner and Christian Identity, the Aryan-Jesus cult claimed by many NSM members.
Though self-defeating from a movement perspective, White's impolitic attacks on Christian Identity shouldn't have surprised anyone familiar with his career. The outbursts were just a loud return to form for the ex-anarchist and inveterate iconoclast. Just as White had rebelled against local police and his teachers as a teenager, he lashed out against Shoep's suspension order and increased his attacks. Schoep then expelled White. "Instead of choosing to correct his behavior," explained Shoep of the quick escalation from suspension to expulsion, "Bill chose to rebel against the NSM rules of conduct. Instead of adjusting to discipline and taking the moral high ground, Bill has demanded apologies."

With White still squealing in the background, Schoep moved ahead with damage-control operations by nudging chairman emeritus Herrington from his position under the cover of "attending to personal matters." But it was too late to stop NSM Minister of Radio and Information Michael Blevins, aka Vonbluvens, from following White out of the party, citing disgust with Herrington's Joy of Satan ties. "Satanism," declared Blevins in his resignation letter, "affects the whole prime directive guiding the [NSM] -- SURVIVAL OF THE WHITE RACE."

Following his expulsion, White wasted no time before drafting a hilariously self-important declaration of independence, which opened with a racist twist on Thomas Jefferson's famous prose: "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a group of Aryans to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with one another, and to assume among white people that separate station to which their race entitles them..." Et cetera. And then: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that Adolf Hitler was the living instrument of God on Earth, that he was endowed by the Creator with the qualities of our ancient Heroes, and that the movement which he founded is the only means by which white people can possess life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Nine hundred words later, White concluded by solemnly announcing the formation of "the American National Socialist Workers Party" and naming himself commander. He claimed the allegiance of more than 130 current and former NSM leaders and members.

Though White almost surely exaggerated this figure, NSM was now a Noticeably Smaller Movement, one trailed in extremist circles by a strong whiff of Satanism and related charges of sexual impropriety associated with Joy of Satan initiation rites and curiously strong teen recruitment efforts.

As he seeks to rebuild his weakened organization, Shoep no doubt rues the day he accepted Bill White into the NSM fold. In his letter explaining White's expulsion, he admitted that "literally countless individuals and groups ... warned us he would stab us in the back ... the first time something didn't go his way." White's track record was so bad that even at the apex of NSM glory, after it sparked nationally covered race riots in Toledo, Ohio, last October, the anti-fascist One People's Project held a poll asking how long it would take Bill White to destroy the group from within. More than a third of respondents said less than a year.

It shouldn't have taken outside consultants or polls to show that Bill White was organizational poison. The slumlord from Roanoke, Va., has a lengthy record of disruptive behavior and very little history of taking orders or staying "on message" for long, especially as required in a top-down neofascist organization like the NSM -- which is why White probably isn't too bothered by his apparently bleak future in the world of the organized radical right.

To adopt the language and tone of White's Declaration of the American National Socialist Workers' Party: Prudence dictates that the fact of White's unpopularity and irrelevance be now submitted to a candid world.

School Safety A Thing of the Past?

My heart is breaking this week as children are being terrorized and murdered. What kind of mind would make someone do this?

Gunman storms school, kills female students
Three killed at the scene before shooter took his own life, police say
NBC, MSNBC and news services


Updated: 3:47 p.m. CT Oct 2, 2006
NICKEL MINES, Pa. - A 32-year-old truck driver took about a dozen girls hostage in a one-room Amish schoolhouse Monday, barricaded the doors and shot to death at least three of the girls and then himself, authorities said. Seven other girls were taken to hospitals with gunshot wounds, some to the head.

It was the nation’s third deadly school shooting in less than a week, and similar to an attack just days earlier at a school in Colorado.

Lancaster County Coroner G. Gary Kirchner initially reported that six people were killed, but later said he wasn’t certain. Police said they found four people, including the gunman, dead in the schoolhouse.

The gunman, identified as Charles Carl Roberts, had been in the school for about 45 minutes before police arrived, State Police Commissioner Jeffrey Miller said.

Roberts, who was not Amish, walked into the one-room West Nickel Mines Amish School with a shotgun and handgun, then released about 15 boys, a pregnant woman and three women with infants before barring the doors, Miller said.

The girls were lined up along a blackboard and their feet were bound, he said.

A teacher called police around 10:30 a.m. and reported that a gunman was holding students hostage.

Once police arrived, Roberts called 911 and threatened to shoot if the police didn’t leave, Miller said. When police tried to call Roberts’ cell phone, shots rang out inside.

Officers had to break windows to get into the school. By then, three young girls had been killed “execution-style” and the gunman was dead, Miller said.

The wounded included three girls, all critical and ages 6 through 12, who were admitted to Lancaster General Hospital, spokesman John Lines told NBC affiliate WGAL-TV.


Gunman spoke of 20-year-old incident
Police said Roberts, who lived nearby, called his wife from a cell phone at around 11 a.m., saying he was "acting out in revenge for something that happened 20 years ago," Miller said. "It seems as though he wanted to attack young, female victims."

Roberts told his wife that he had also left a note for her and their three children.

Roberts entered the school, sent the teachers and male students outside and kept the girls in while blocking the doors, police said. He had wire ties that he used to bind the girls, police said.

Twenty-seven students are said to have attended the private school, which teaches first through eighth grades.

The school is situated among farmlands just outside Nickel Mines, a tiny village about 55 miles west of Philadelphia.

Other recent incidents
The shooting followed reports earlier on Monday of lockdowns at four schools in the Las Vegas area.

Police and trained dogs had deployed around Mojave High and Elizondo Elementary schools in North Las Vegas, Nevada, and police were looking for an armed youth, KLAS-TV reported.

Monday’s violence also followed two gun-related incidents that shook U.S. schools last week.

On Friday, a 15-year-old student fatally wounded his school’s principal in western Wisconsin.

On Wednesday, in a disturbingly similar attack, a drifter in Colorado took six female high school students hostage, molested them and then shot one to death and killed himself as police closed in.

“If this is some kind of a copycat, it’s horrible and of concern to everybody, all law enforcement,” said Monte Gore, undersheriff of Park County, Colo.

“On behalf of Park County and our citizens and our sheriff’s office, our hearts go out to that school and the community,” he said.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.
