Arizona and The neo-Nazi's Breeding Domestic Terrorists

Bombs, bullets, and insanity really don't mix well, but it seems that Arizona and the neo-Nazi element both have more than their share of all three. Breeding domestic terrorists appears to come easy these days.

Neo-Nazi Indicted for Bombs is Son of Movement Stalwart





Posted By Evelyn Schlatter On January 28, 2011 @ 4:24 pm In Neo-Nazi

A federal grand jury Wednesday indicted Jeffrey Harbin, 28, of Apache Junction, Ariz., on three counts of possessing explosive devices. Harbin, who has ties to the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement [1] (NSM) and was formerly a member of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, had in his possession 12 grenade-like improvised explosive devices. They were built with PVC pipe and filled with black powder, ball bearings, and an improvised fusing system.



The indictment alleges that Harbin unlawfully transported one of the devices. He was pulled over by law enforcement while driving his pickup truck on January 14 in Apache Junction. Dennis K. Burke, U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, told ABC15 News that “Jeffrey Harbin built these IEDs in such a away as to maximize human carnage.” If found guilty, Harbin faces up to 10 years in prison for each count and the possibility of a $250,000 fine.



Neo-Nazi sympathizer and former NSM member J.T. Ready [2], currently one of Arizona’s most visible self-appointed border patrollers, claimed that he personally recruited Harbin into the NSM, but that he himself is no longer a member of the group. When asked by ABC15 News in Phoenix if he knew what Harbin was planning to do with the bombs, Ready replied that things are still under investigation, and that the reporter “would have to talk to the feds and see what their official statement is…but I will say that domestic terrorism is real.” An NSM spokesman contacted ABC15 News reporter Christopher Sign and informed him that Jeffrey Harbin was “no longer with” the NSM.



Jeffrey isn’t the only Harbin to be involved in the neo-Nazi movement. Jeffrey Harbin is the son of Jerry Harbin [3], who has been active in white nationalist causes for years. In 1999, the senior Harbin was listed as the Phoenix contact for a new chapter of the racist Council of Conservative Citizens [4] in the Citizen Informer, the group’s newspaper. The CofCC, which evolved directly from the pro-segregation White Citizens Councils of the Jim Crow South, has referred to African Americans as “a retrograde species of humanity.”



In 2001, Jerry Harbin became the coordinator for the Phoenix chapter of the National Alliance [5] (NA), at that time one of the most dangerous and best-organized neo-Nazi groups in the country. Harbin’s chapter was active through 2005, when it switched to a chapter of National Vanguard (NV). In 2006, Harbin showed up [6] at the neo-Nazi Winterfest in Phoenix, which was hosted by the wife of Jesse Curnow, Arizona Coordinator for the white supremacist Nationalist Coalition [7]. By 2007, Harbin was no longer with NV, and instead turned his attention to other, perhaps more benign activities, like being the adjutant and choir director of the Phoenix camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans [8].



Repeated calls to Jerry Harbin for comment were not answered.

Insanity Begets Insanity

And the insanity continues. This just goes to prove that in the neo-Nazi realm there is no loyalty...but, there is lots of insanity. Timothy Bland turned own his own and threatened not only the wife of a comrade - but their child. Insanity begets insanity and the insane attract others who are mad.

Man gets probation for threats to Va. neo-Nazi's wife

By Mike Gangloff



Timothy Bland, who pleaded guilty last year to threatening the wife of jailed neo-Nazi leader Bill White, was sentenced today to five years' probation.



Bland, 46, a Baltimore resident whose lawyer said he was a mentally ill follower of Bill White's online racist rants, told U.S. District Judge James Turk he was unaware of his actions when he phoned Meghan White.



"I feel terrible about what I did," Bland said. "I allowed someone to push me and prod me over a 2 1/2-year period until I lost control."



Defense lawyer Jim Crawford of Baltimore said Bland has a long history of mental illness and has been diagnosed as bipolar.



Federal sentencing guidelines suggested at least a year in prison. Crawford asked for probation, noting that Bland's mother, who financially supports him, has stage 4 breast cancer. Assistant U.S. Attorney Pat Hogeboom said he didn't object as long as strict controls were placed on Bland's activities.



Turk prohibited Bland from drinking alcohol and said he will be monitored by the federal probation office for five years.



Bland phoned Meghan White in December 2009, two days after a federal jury in Roanoke found Bill White guilty of four charges related to threatening people.



Bland told Meghan White he was coming to Roanoke to kill her and her infant daughter. He called back several times to say he was getting closer to the city, and finally that he had arrived and was getting a motel room. Bland also text messaged his victim a picture of his genitals, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office said.



The calls terrified Meghan White, who soon took her daughter and moved in with relatives. She said she didn't know Bland and didn't think her husband did either.



Crawford said Bland was "prime game" to be recruited by Bill White and followed White's racist proclamations online. Hogeboom said that in Bill White's trial, Bland was summoned as a prosecution witness to testify that he was willing to act on White's threats against minorities.



Bland was never actually called to the stand in White's trial. Meghan White was a potential defense witness. She also wasn't called to testify.



It was after Bland returned from the trial to Baltimore that he telephoned Meghan White.



Crawford said Bland feared retribution from Bill White or members of the American National Socialist Workers Party, the group White claimed to command.



After Bill White's trial, Bland told his lawyer he received phone calls from people connected to the group. He began drinking heavily, Crawford said, and when he called Meghan White, he was "clearly inebriated, clearly psychotic in many ways, clearly delusional."



The same night he threatened Meghan White, he called police in Baltimore to say that he was a former member of a Nazi group and that people were trying to kill him.



"Bland's vile, hateful threats directly caused the victim in this case real distress," U.S. Attorney Tim Heaphy said today in a statement. "Anyone who tries to intimidate or frighten another person by using the telephone, the internet, the U.S. mail, or any other instrumentality of interstate commerce will be prosecuted in this district."

Another neo-Nazi Circus Clown Bite The Dust...

For the next few articles - let's talk insanity in the racist realm. I mean...look at this nutjob. Some of us remember him from his earlier NSM days when they paraded him around as some sort of rare find that would draw intelligent and articulate individuals into their neo-Nazi circus.

Neo-Nazi leader from Ridgewood charged with threatening New York Anti-Defamation League director


Wednesday, 26 January 2011 20:52 Jerry DeMarco

UPDATE: A former neo-Nazi leader from Ridgewood -- who won a court challenge to his posting Third Reich flags outside his home, made national headlines when he was dismissed as an adjunct from FDU, and keeps a swastika in his window -- was arrested this morning following a SWAT team raid on his apartment.





Jacques PlussHe is charged with threatening the director of the New York regional office of the Anti-Defamation League.



The New Jersey State Police Central Security Unit began investigating Jacques Pluss, 57, of Heights Road, after the ADL turned over emailed threats to Abraham Foxman, Acting NJSP Major Gerald Lewis told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.



The unit investigates threats against politicians, judges and other public figures.



“As part of our investigation, we found that he has ties to neo-Nazi organizations, and that he frequently visited neo-Nazi websites,“ Lewis told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.



At 6:30 a.m., the Troop B SWAT team -- armed with a search warrant -- descended on the apartment, along with detectives from the CSU, cyber crimes and K9 units, investigators from the Division of Criminal Justice, and Ridgewood police.



As Pluss was being arrested on charges of bias intimidation and harassment, a search turned up three rifles, Lewis told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.



His wife was taken into

Jacques Pluss (courtesy NJSP)custody “for investigative purposes pertaining to possible weapons offenses,” Lewis said. Continued here...

Another Chapter Finished...

You can't just DO what you want. You can't just SAY anything. With rights comes responsibility. Bill White gave up some very precious moments with his wife and daughter proving that being an irresponsible asshole is costly. Being a Nazi has consequences.

Neo-Nazi William A. White convicted in Chicago for Web posts


Just two weeks before his scheduled release, William A. White was convicted of soliciting violence.

By Laurence Hammack

Jan. 2: Neo-Nazi leader may face more time in prison

U.S. v. William White

Read complete coverage from the December 2009 trial in Roanoke, as well as previous William White coverage

A neo-Nazi whose online rants struck fear in Roanoke and across the country was convicted of using his website to solicit violence Wednesday, just two weeks before his scheduled release from prison.



William A. White was found guilty of encouraging harm to the foreman of a Chicago jury that convicted a fellow white supremacist in 2004. The verdict came on the third day of a trial in U.S. District Court in Chicago.



White, 33, the leader of a Roanoke-based white supremacy group, has been serving a 2½-year sentence following his convictions last year in Roanoke of threatening a bank employee in Missouri, a university administrator in Delaware and a group of apartment tenants in Virginia Beach.



Instead of a scheduled Jan. 18 release date, White now faces up to 10 more years in prison.



Defense attorneys had argued that even as bellicose bigot, White was entitled to free-speech protection.



But the all-white jury, which was granted anonymity to protect its members from possible harm or harassment by neo-Nazi sympathizers, rejected that argument after three hours of deliberation.



"While freedom of speech is among our most cherished rights, the First Amendment does not protect anyone who intends to induce others to kill or injure," U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said after the verdict.



White -- once described as one of the loudest voices in America's neo-Nazi movement -- was charged with soliciting violence with an online post to overthrow.com, a website that served as the megaphone for his racist views.



Mark Hoffman, the foreman of a Chicago jury that convicted white supremacist Matthew Hale in an unrelated case in 2004, testified this week that he was dismayed to learn, four years later, that White had posted his name, address and telephone number to the website.



The post identified Hoffman as the "gay anti-racist" juror who played a key role in convicting Hale of soliciting the murder of a Chicago judge who ruled against him in a civil case. Hale is serving a 40-year prison sentence.



Hoffman testified that within minutes, be began to receive hateful text and phone messages, some of them including racial and ethnic slurs.



"They were coming in every two seconds, so many that they killed the battery" on his cellphone, Assistant U.S. Attorney William Hogan said.



Neither the post nor the responses it generated contained direct threats. Prosecutors argued that White's words amounted to an invitation to harm the juror -- especially when taken in context with other missives that appeared on overthrow.com.



The jury was told of numerous posts: White's call to lynch six black youths at the center of a civil rights demonstration in Jena, La.; his delight over the slayings of two family members of a Chicago judge; his opinion that a Canadian civil rights lawyer should "be drug out into the street and shot;" and his own growing urges to "kill, kill, kill."



Defense attorney Nishay Sanan said prosecutors succeeded in scaring the jury into convicting his client.



In fact, jurors asked that all spectators and reporters be removed from the courtroom before they delivered the verdict. They also asked to be allowed to leave from an alternate courthouse exit. Judge Lynn Adelman declined to clear the courtroom, but ordered that jurors be escorted safely from the building.



"The verdict was based on fear and not the law," Sanan said. "This is a sad day for the First Amendment."



Prosecutors said there was more to the case than just inflammatory rhetoric. They cited the testimony of two former members of White's organization, the American National Socialists Workers Party.



Mike Burks and Phil Anderson told the jury about letters they received from White within days of his arrest in October 2008, which came shortly after his post targeting the Chicago juror.



White instructed Burks and Anderson to make sure no harm came to the juror at the hands of white supremacists. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Ferrara, who prosecuted the case with Hogan, said the letters suggested a plan had already been set in motion.



"Why would he want to ask these people to stand down if they were not asked to stand up in the first place?" Ferrara said.



As in his previous cases, White did not testify or present evidence.



White, who moved to Roanoke seven years ago to start a rental home business, has been called "possibly the loudest and most obnoxious neo-Nazi leader in America" by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups.



Both White's business and his hate group have dissolved since his arrest.



No sentencing date has been scheduled. Although the maximum punishment is 10 years, sentencing guidelines will likely call for a lesser term. Sanan said he will ask that White be released on bond after Jan. 18, the end of his sentence on the Roanoke charges.



A bond hearing would give prosecutors another chance to argue that White is a danger, a theme they have sounded consistently.



White's writings may well have encouraged violence by at least one of his followers in a case cited by the indictment, which takes 12 pages to recount some of his diatribes.



In 2007, Eric Hunt -- identified by White on overthrow.com as "a fan of this website" -- was convicted of assaulting Elie Wiesel, an internationally known Holocaust survivor, author and Nobel laureate.



In commenting about the case, White included Wiesel's address "in case anyone was looking for him."



In another post two weeks later, White wrote that he had received a call from The Associated Press about the incident. According to the indictment, White made the following statement to the news outlet:



"Insofar as my views may have played a role in motivating Mr. Hunt, I can only say that I hope to inspire a hundred more white young people to sacrifice themselves for our collective racial whole. The only thing more noble than sacrifice is victory.



"Heil Hitler."

Obama Administration Stunned Human Rights Groups

"Obama’s memorandum may look jarring on paper, but it’s grimly consistent with Washington’s agenda of waging war indefinitely, without boundaries, against an enemy we can no longer really define. The U.S. supports warfare that uses children as weapons, warfare that kills civilian children indiscriminately, warfare that ultimately sends our own children to perish on foreign soil. And so America marches on in a world of conflict where the first casualty is innocence itself."

White House Says Child Soldiers Are Ok, if They Fight Terrorists

by Michelle Chen


“You cannot be completely happy with all these wounds—both in your body and in your mind.” —15 year-old child soldier


The phenomenon of child soldiers, like genocide, slavery and torture, seems like one of those crimes that no nation could legitimately defend. Yet the Obama administration just decided to leave countless kids stranded on some of the world’s bloodiest battlegrounds.


The administration stunned human rights groups last month by sidestepping a commitment to help countries curb the military exploitation of children. Josh Rogin at Foreign Policy reported that President Obama issued a presidential memorandum granting waivers from the Child Soldiers Prevention Act to four countries: Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Yemen. The memo instructed Secretary of State Hilary Clinton that it is in our “national interest” to continue extending military aid to those countries, despite their failure to comply with the rules Congress passed and George W. Bush signed in 2008.


A thumbs-up for child soldiers from the pen of President Obama? Whitehouse spokesperson P.J. Crowley explained it was a strategic decision to ease the 2008 law. The rationale is that on balance, it’s more effective for the U.S. to keep providing military assistance that will help countries gradually evolve out of the practice of marshaling kids to the battlefield, rather than isolating them.


According to the Christian Science Monitor, Crowley argued, “These countries have put the right policies in place… but are struggling to correctly implement them.” The New York Times reported that administration spokespeople also cited the countries’ crucial role in global counter-terrorism efforts.


Strategically granting certain countries a pass on child rights reflects Washington’s warped attitude toward the global human rights regime. The U.S. has failed to ratify, or simply ignored, numerous human rights protocols, and our ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child has languished. Human Rights Watch points out, “Only the United States and Somalia, which has no functioning national government, have failed to ratify the treaty.” (Although we did ratify two optional protocols in 2002, relating to child soldiers and other forms of exploitation.)


Somalia, by the way, is one of just two countries that the White House allowed to be sanctioned under the 2008 law; the second was Burma. Presumably this is because Somalia is not receiving direct military funding, reports the Monitor. Yet the U.S. continues to support Somali government forces as they fight Islamic insurgents—with the help of a large force of child soldiers. (To their credit, Somalia has at least promised the U.N. they”ll stop arming kids eventually, according to the Washington Post).


Maybe you could argue that the U.S. is so “advanced” it needn’t bother with rules about children’s rights to education and whatnot. Obama’s waivers might be seen as realpolitik in areas like Yemen, whose military we support as part of our sprawling counter-terrorism operations. But the bottom line is that the administration has carved out an exception to a law intended to ethically guide the flow of U.S. aid money around the world.


According to the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, which holds America to the same scrutiny that countries like Uganda and DRC routinely face in the media, we benefit indirectly and directly from the exploitation of child fighters:


In 2006 the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) registered 59 children in detention during 16 visits to five places of detention or internment controlled by the USA or the UK in Iraq. US soldiers stationed at the detention centres and former detainees described abuses against child detainees, including the rape of a 15-year-old boy at Abu Ghraib, Iraq, forced nudity, stress positions, beating and the use of dogs. Following US troop increases in Iraq in early 2007, US military arrests of children there rose from an average of 25 per month in 2006 to an average of 100 per month. Military officials reported that 828 were children held at Camp Cropper by mid-September, including children as young as 11. A 17-year-old was reportedly strangled by a fellow detainee in early 2007. In August 2007 the USA opened Dar al-Hikmah, a non-residential facility intended to provide education services to 600 detainees aged 11-17 pending release or transfer to Iraqi custody. US military officials excluded an estimated 100 children from participation in the program, apparently on the grounds that they were “extremists” and “beyond redemption”.

Omar Khadr, the young Canadian detainee at Guantanamo Bay, remains trapped in a Kafkaesque quasi-judicial system without regard to the fact that he was a child when captured. Rights advocates like Monia Mazigh in Ottowa have called for Khadr to be recognized as a child soldier, but the administration seems to think securing a conviction in Kangaroo Court takes precedence over international law. And because Khadr, like the other Gitmo prisoners, is identified with that faceless dark horde the U.S. has branded “terrorists,” Americans aren’t even inclined to see him as a human being, let alone as a juvenile soldier deserving of sympathy.


So America’s hypocrisy on children in war has many layers. Obama condemns the practice in theory, then undermines federal law by issuing waivers for our partners in Africa and the Middle East. And of course, Washington sees no problem with punishing child soldiers as adults when they’re aligned with the terrorists who are bent on destroying America.


UN Treaties alone obviously won’t demobilize all the world’s child soldiers, but their main role is to put down a legal placeholder. And it’s that moral guidepost that the U.S. undermines every time it waives parallel U.S. laws based on the “national interest.”


Obama’s memorandum may look jarring on paper, but it’s grimly consistent with Washington’s agenda of waging war indefinitely, without boundaries, against an enemy we can no longer really define. The U.S. supports warfare that uses children as weapons, warfare that kills civilian children indiscriminately, warfare that ultimately sends our own children to perish on foreign soil. And so America marches on in a world of conflict where the first casualty is innocence itself.

WHO WILL STAND UP TO THE SUPERRICH?



Photo by Damon Winter

Yesterday, Frank Rich, a columnist for the New York Times, wrote an opinion piece dealing with one of the biggest problems that we are currently faced with in this country and one that is grabbing a lot of headline attention - the Bush Tax Cuts and the corporate gurus who are really running this country.

As it appears that President Obama is waffling yet again in an effort to appease the right-wing elements of Congress, and signaling some sort of "compromise" on extending these tax cuts, many of us are becoming more and more incensed by his wishy-washy, mamby-pamby performance.

Frank Rich, questions who, then, will stand up against those who represent the upper echelon of the out-of-control economic ladder:


The wealthy Americans we should worry about instead are the ones who implicitly won the election — those who take far more from America than they give back. They were not on the ballot, and most of them are not household names. Unlike Whitman and the other defeated self-financing candidates, they are all but certain to cash in on the Nov. 2 results. There’s no one in Washington in either party with the fortitude to try to stop them from grabbing anything that’s not nailed down.



The Americans I’m talking about are not just those shadowy anonymous corporate campaign contributors who flooded this campaign. No less triumphant were those individuals at the apex of the economic pyramid — the superrich who have gotten spectacularly richer over the last four decades while their fellow citizens either treaded water or lost ground. The top 1 percent of American earners took in 23.5 percent of the nation’s pretax income in 2007 — up from less than 9 percent in 1976. During the boom years of 2002 to 2007, that top 1 percent’s pretax income increased an extraordinary 10 percent every year. But the boom proved an exclusive affair: in that same period, the median income for non-elderly American households went down and the poverty rate rose.
