NEW KKK RECRUIT SLAIN

A noose found dangling from a tree, 10 neo-Nazi's demonstrate in Tyler, TX, 50 swastika waving white nationalists march in Missouri, a cross is burned in the yard of a black family in New Jersey, and Americans barely even notice.

Thinking the Klan is dead and organized racism is a thing of the past, local residents expressed shock and disbelief when the body of a woman was found in St. Tammany Parish and eight KKK members were arrested in her death.

While we struggle to alert and educate communities and organizations around the country, it is still largely believed by the populace that these groups are nothing more than an anomaly in our society and pose no danger...think again. The potential for violence is always present.

Slaying Linked To KKK Initiation; 8 Arrested
Woman Traveled From Oklahoma To Join

COVINGTON, La. -- Eight people were arrested Tuesday in connection with the killing of a woman who apparently tried to back out of a Ku Klux Klan initiation ritual, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said Tuesday.

The woman was slain Sunday morning, allegedly shot to death by a Klan leader from Bogalusa. Her body was found Monday in a ditch in the small St. Tammany community of Sun, about 60 miles north of New Orleans, the sheriff said.

Raymond "Chuck" Foster, 44, is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting the woman. Seven others -- Raymond Foster's son, 20-year-old Shane Foster; Frank Stafford, 21; Timothy Michael Watkins, 30; Alicia M. Watkins, 23; Andrew Yates, 20; Random Hines, 27; and Danielle Jones, 23 -- are facing obstruction of justice charges.

All the suspects are being held in the St. Tammany Parish jail.

Strain said the woman lived near Tulsa, Okla., and was recruited over the Internet to come to Louisiana for initiation into the Klan. Deputies have not been able to confirm her identity.


She arrived in Slidell last week and was met by two members of the group, Strain said. She was taken to a campground near Pearl River for the initiation ceremony, and when she asked to be taken back into town, there was an argument. That's when Foster allegedly shot and killed her, Strain said.

The other members of the Klan group are accused of helping cover up the crime by burning items at the campsite, including the woman's personal effects. A clerk at a nearby Circle K alerted police after two of the suspects went into the store bathroom to wash blood out of their clothes, Strain said.

Investigators found Klan paraphernalia at the campsite, including flags and six Klan uniforms. Strain said Raymond Foster is chief of the "Sons of Dixie" or "Dixie Brotherhood" KKK branch.

Strain said the case does not appear to be connected to the recent election of Barack Obama as president. He told WDSU he was surprised to find out about this KKK group because it hadn't been very visible before.

HATE CRIME LEGISLATION - THE LIMITS OF THE LAW



I found this to be quite an interesting read and thought I would share it for the purpose of discussion.

TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Nick Herbert: Hate Crime - the limits of the law
Nick Herbert MP, Monday, November 3 2008

Thank you for inviting me to talk to you today. I am especially pleased to be speaking to you on a subject - hate crime - which is of such great importance and relevance to our society today.

Next Sunday, 9 November, is Remembrance Sunday. But it is also the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, which saw 92 Jews murdered in the Third Reich and tens of thousands shipped to concentration camps.

The Holocaust which those events began, and the regime that devised and directed it, surely remains for us the most horrific example of the harm that human hatred can cause.

It is the triumph of the 21st Century that so much of that hatred has passed, yet its tragedy that so much remains. 70 years later, the scars in Germany and elsewhere are still so deep that the criminal law is deployed to ensure that history is not revised. When the President of Iran grotesquely describes the Holocaust as "a legend", it is not hard to understand the motivation for ensuring that such views can never take root again. Last month the Australian academic Frederick Toben was controversially arrested in this country, pending his extradition to Germany for the crime of Holocaust denial.

Denying the Holocaust is explicitly or implicitly illegal in 13 European countries. Yet such a law has never been accepted here, and in the United States, Holocaust denial is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. No issue could be more sensitive, and none could demonstrate better the acute dilemma which is created by the notion of hate crime, that between the desire to protect minorities from harm, and the desire to preserve free speech.

Striking the right balance has preoccupied Parliament since legislation to protect minorities was first conceived. When, two years after I was born, the Race Relations Act of 1965 was brought in, the Conservative Party opposed it, fearing that making racial discrimination a crime would only exacerbate race relations in areas where it was already a problem. But the Party's view changed. In 1986 we ourselves brought forward the Public Order Act which makes it an offence to stir up racial hatred. This began the move towards outlawing words designed to fuel hatred.

We also supported the current Government's plans for aggravated sentences for hate crime which were introduced in the 2003 Criminal Justice Act. But as the sphere of hate crime legislation increases, our concerns about the potential restrictions on free speech have grown. We pushed for the introduction of a free speech clause in the 2006 Racial and Religious Hatred Act. Most recently, on the issue of incitement to gay hatred, we supported the principle of the new offence, a position which demonstrates the compass of the modern Conservative Party and of which I am proud. But we also moved to ensure that free speech concerns were addressed.

Why hate crime legislation is necessary

In amending the Public Order Act 1986, the Government placed incitement to gay hatred on the same footing as that of racial and religious hatred, a change which led to serious concerns about the balance between protection for vulnerable groups and free speech.

Referring to this latest piece of hate crime legislation, the commentator Johann Hari said:

'Hate crimes laws undermine one of the most persuasive arguments of the gay rights movement. At every step of the way, all we have asked for is the same rights enjoyed by straight people: to have sex, to get married, to adopt. The anti-gay lobby has always claimed we are asking for "special rights", and it has always been a lie. But hate crimes laws do, finally, turn us into a special category. It says that stabbing me is worse than stabbing my heterosexual brother.'

Now I accept that, by its very nature, hate crime legislation singles certain groups out for special treatment, but this is not simply for being gay, or black, or disabled, or Muslim, but for being the victim of a particular type of crime. An assault against a gay man is not treated more seriously because the victim is a gay man, but only if the assault was motivated by the fact that the victim was gay. And the legislation does this for two very good reasons: the heightened emotional effect of such crimes on specific individuals, and because of the fear which cane be aroused in the affected communities.

When a young man is attacked in a random act of violence, or mugged for his ipod, or beaten up in a drunken affray outside a pub, this causes a substantial amount of personal trauma and may contribute to a general climate of fear and concern about crime, but it does not instil a particular fear in the wider community in which it takes place.

But when a black man is beaten up by racist thugs, or a Muslim family's house is daubed with Islamophobic graffiti, or a young gay man is kicked to death on Clapham Common by people shouting homophobic insults, the effect on their respective communities is far more pronounced.

Victims of hate crime experience a form of stigmatisation which carries a clear message that they, and their community, are a target, and that they are of marginal value. These crimes also create mental crime maps of harassment for communities. They contribute to creating no-go areas for some people.

Research suggests that that hate crimes can especially hurt individuals. For example, when looking at evidence of psychological and emotional harm caused to victims of crime it is clear that those who were victims of racially motivated crime present increased cases of shock, anxiety and depression when compared to victims of crimes which were not racially motivated.

I do not intend for one moment to diminish the serious impact of the majority of crimes, but rather I want to draw attention to the particular emotional harm which can be caused by hate crime. Victims of racial hate crime also fear more for future victimisation than victims of almost all other forms of crime, except rape.

It is because hate crimes against individuals make victims of whole communities that Parliament took the decision in the 2003 Criminal Justice Act to signal that crimes fuelled by hatred - hatred of something normally outside the victim's control, be it their race, or sexuality - have wider consequences and must be dealt with more harshly than, for example, acquisitive crime. Whilst enhanced penalties had existed, under the 1991 Criminal Justice Act, courts were not making full use of these powers. For example, in 1997-98, only a fifth of cases where racial motivation was a factor were sentences increased on that basis.

But despite the evidence of a harm 'premium' associated with hate crime, there nonetheless remains a body of opinion that questions the very basis of such legislation. Such criticism of hate crime laws is found on both the Left and the Right of the political spectrum.

The conservative or libertarian objection has been ably articulated by commentators like Melanie Phillips, who has argued that hate crime legislation is an 'Orwellian response to prejudice', and that, by attempting to legislate for people's thoughts and 'bad values', the State oversteps the limits of acceptable boundaries.

These are serious points, but on careful reflection I disagree with them. I believe that hate crimes, where the perpetrator's values strike at the core of the victim's identity, are deserving of a response which targets those very values. Moreover, hate crime legislation no more punishes offenders for their values than does the rest of criminal law.

Those who steal, assault, rape or murder - for whatever reason - make value judgements before committing those crimes. These judgements may be subconscious, and will likely be coloured by many other factors, for example, conditioning borne of childhood experience, the influence of addiction, or mental health problems, but there will be a value judgement made nonetheless. Just because the punishment of 'bad values' in hate crime legislation is more explicit does not mean that the rest of criminal law ignores or downplays these judgements. In fact, in almost all crime the major aggravating factor in determining the punishment is motivation; indeed, the presence of a guilty mind is of course an essential component of criminality. The idea that an offender's thoughts are irrelevant to the offence that has been committed simply does not accord with the fundamentals of our criminal law.

Another prominent commentator From the Left who invoked Orwell was Peter Tatchell, who in 2002 attacked the Government's equality agenda by paraphrasing Animal Farm's proclamation that 'some people are more equal than others'. Curiously, just four years earlier, he had unsuccessfully attempted to get anti-gay hate crime legislation introduced in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 in order to achieve equality with the protection available to other, specifically racial, groups. That such a prominent gay rights activist has changed his mind is a sign of the dilemmas which hate crime laws throw up. Last year Tatchell argued forcefully that the proposed gay hatred legislation was not the right way to tackle prejudice.

Concerns about the use of hate crime legislation to drive equality cannot not be dismissed out of hand. But I think the best response came from Martin Luther King, who said:

'It is true that behaviour cannot be legislated, and legislation cannot make you love me, but legislation can restrain you from lynching me, and I think that is kind of important'

He repeated:

'While it may be true that morality cannot be legislated, behaviour can be regulate. It may be true that the law cannot change the heart but it can restrain the heartless.'


Free speech

But where the opponents of hate crime legislation really have a point is in relation to the potential infringement of freedom of speech. These concerns will be exacerbated if offences aimed at tackling incitement to hatred are not carefully drafted and enforced.

Free speech is a fundamental and historic liberty in Britain, and Parliament has always been rightly cautious about restraining it. It would be very easy to push harder and harder against the door of liberty in the name of protection for sensitive minorities or the easily offended, but the balance must always be struck so that people are free, and feel free, to voice opinions and disagreement which, even if objectionable, are not directly harmful.

During the passage of the recent Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill we grappled with this issue, attempting to strike the right balance between liberty and protection, and it is a balance with which we also struggled when approaching the religious hatred provisions the Government introduced in 2005.

It was my view during the passage of the latest Bill that we had to delineate between what Stonewall described as 'temperate criticism', which must never be illegal, and language which is so inflammatory that it causes harm or triggers violence. And it is important that the criminal justice system, and those who practice in it, understand that this is the balance on which we as legislators have settled.

It is a fair criticism that, whilst Parliament signalled this broad balance, what actually ended up on the Statute Book does not make it fully clear where the delineation lies.
The so-called 'free-speech clause' which was ultimately added to the Bill in the House of Lords by former Home Secretary Lord Waddington says that 'the discussion or criticism of sexual conduct or practices or the urging of persons to refrain from or modify such conduct or practices shall not be taken of itself to be threatening or intended to stir up hatred'.

This rather dislikeable provision was, I regret, the best which Parliament could do in the restricted time which the Government made available. It now falls upon Ministers to issue clear guidance to the police and prosecutors on how it is to work in practice. It will then be for the courts to declare the right balance when cases present themselves.

However, the balance which I believe should be struck in deciding whether a hate crime is proved, and which reflects Parliament's will, is - to use the expression in the US Supreme Court decision R.A.V. v. City of St Paul - that 'fighting words' fall on the criminal side of the line, but merely offensive comment should not. Parliament has not introduced an offence of thought crime; nor should we.

The police and the CPS must pay attention to crimes of hate, and I applaud the DPP's speech last month on disability hate crime, where he both highlighted areas where prosecutions are failing and signalled a determination to do better. But the response of our law enforcement agencies must always be proportionate and must target the criminal, not just the immoral or unpleasant. Parliament did not intend that harmless abuse should be subject to criminal sanction. People who set out their views about gay practices in a temperate way might still cause offence, as might those who call Irishmen leprechauns, but such comment is not criminal, and should not attract heavy handed policing, still less prosecution. There have been some notorious examples of clumsy enforcement over the past few years. They have undermined public and media support for hate crime laws, and they have rightly made Parliament more cautious about extending the ambit of the criminal law. They have almost certainly also damaged the interests of the minorities which hate crime laws were meant to protect.

The police and Crown Prosecution Service should focus on those who seek to spread violent hatred. They should not be wasting resources on the politically-correct pursuit of neighbours who engage in tasteless insults. We must guard against a culture that allows criminal justice agencies to pursue easy targets while simultaneously allowing preachers of hate to call for the stoning of gay people.

Legislation alone cannot create a civilised society

But as well as things which legislation should not do, that is, infringe free speech without very good reason, there are also things it cannot do.

Hate crime legislation is designed to tackle the outward expression of values, but it also has a purpose in sending out a signal that certain views and values are anathema to civilised society, and that harmful actions emerging from those views will not be tolerated.

All criminal justice legislation must, by its nature, have some element of deterrence in it, and so when Parliament sets out in Statute that incitement to hatred on the grounds of race, religion or sexuality is to be outlawed, we intend that people sit up and take notice. Whether you are a white supremacist encouraging hatred of blacks, or an Imam preaching hatred of gay people, the message from Parliament is clear.

In fact, it is not only criminal justice legislation which seeks to change behaviour, or send a signal about what society considers acceptable. The legal status of marriage, for example, originally authored by the Established Church, clearly demonstrates that this is behaviour which society endorses and, indeed, actively promotes.

However, it would be wrong for politicians to assume that legislation is the only, or even the primary, means to govern public morality. Law making, however much it may send a signal or set a framework for dealing with events, cannot be the sole driver of social change. Whilst we in Parliament can plant a flag on an issue, declaring our intention, we cannot fundamentally alter people's views. Legislation cannot make windows into men's souls.

Let me give you one striking example. Despite all the laws and much progress over recent years, a poll in the Observer last weekend found that 24 per cent of the public think that gay sex should be made illegal. Eight years after the age of consent was equalised, and three years after civil partnerships were introduced, a quarter of the British public want to reverse these changes and take us back to the situation that existed before the 1967 Sexual Offences Act. Some might say that this argues for more laws. I am not so certain.

Attitudes may be constrained by laws, and sometimes led by them, but ultimately it is only by fostering a shared feeling of responsibility that we can promote a tolerant society where people are considerate towards others and their feelings, and where they exercise judgement in what they say and do. If the furore this week about Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross has any lessons for us at all, it is that consideration and judgement can lead to the avoidance of offence. Their offensive behaviour was not just a failing of management at the BBC. It began with a failing of personal responsibility. I am pleased that one of those involved reclaimed a bit of that personal responsibility by choosing to resign.

So we should not believe that laws are a panacea. We will never outlaw hate, any more than we can outlaw anger. But we can set a careful framework to outlaw hatred which really harms, while protecting fundamental liberties. As the former US Attorney General John Ashcroft said, after famously changing his mind and invoking federal hate crime law, "hatred is the enemy of justice".

MILLIONAIRE NAZI...FALLEN?

Updated 8:40 p.m.

Magistrate Judge Michael Urbanski has ordered William A. White held without bond





Before I get into my thoughts and speculations about the arrest of Bill White, I think a little background and groundwork has to be laid - especially for those unfamiliar with White’s and my history.

On January 8, 2003, Matthew Fredrick Hale entered the Federal Building in Chicago. As the leader of the fastest growing neo-Nazi group in the United States, Hale traveled with a contingency of his White Berets – the security arm of the, then named, World Church of the Creator.

Matt was pumped and ready for his court date with the Honorable Judge Joan Lefkow. It was a complicated trade-mark case and one that Hale was not ready to lose. However, January 8th wasn’t a very lucky day for him as he lost more than the case – he lost his freedom.

Handcuffed and arrested Matthew Hale was booked into jail for soliciting the murder of none other than the Honorable Judge Joan Lefkow. He is now serving a forty year sentence.

For the next two years the internet racists were abuzz with speculation, innuendo, and incredulity as the process of trial and sentencing drug on. Wild accusations and hundreds of rumors were hurled right and left while behind the scenes the events unfolding were kept secret and unknown to the rank-and-file.

As a matter of fact, there are only a handful of people who really know what things were unfolding during that time and one thing for sure is, there is no loyalty among the racists.
As the federal government applied the pressure to make its case against Hale, those in the know were bailing, scurrying for cover, or simply rolling over. And there was a lot of rolling over.

It’s important to note that I, and Citizens Against Hate, had been focusing much of our attention on Matthew Hale for several years prior to his arrest. We reported on his activities and those of his members and conducted several interviews with Matt himself. Believing that Hale was one of the most dangerous of the neo-Nazi’s in America, it was our goal to keep very close tabs on him and his group.

Because of the attention we gave to Hale, it was not at all surprising that we became involved in the trial and events surrounding the testimony and the disposition.

While many of our sources for information remain confidential, suffice it to say that we were privy to many of the inner-workings and information largely reserved for “insiders.”

Hale had a large following by today’s standards. Many of those “followers,” however, displayed no real loyalties to the man or to the “movement” when the chips were down. Afraid for their own freedom, worried about their families or their jobs, they became a veritable wealthy source of information for the government. Not all were required to testify – as a matter of fact, only a fraction were called upon.

In the end, justice was served and the World Church of the Creator became the Creativity Movement and various factions thereof. None of these factions can even be considered as being a serious part of the movement today.

Given all of this, one would think that this page of the racist history book could be closed. But, things have a way of coming around full circle. Matt Hale sits in a maximum security cell surrounded by his legal appeals and prison guards, but there are others who bear watching. One of those people is Bill White.

William Alexander White doesn’t like it when I write about him. But I write about him anyway. Actually, he has been a primary focus of mine and Citizens Against Hate since the incarceration of Hale.

As with Matt, I consider White dangerous as well – not because of any physical threat that he poses to anyone but because he is a master manipulator and extreme narcissist. While White doesn’t have much in the way of a following, he has the ability to shape and mold the unsuspecting as well as the attraction for those equally as unstable as he.

During the Hale trial, Bill White attempted to insinuate himself into the proceedings through his writings and web site often speaking as if he had been in attendance – which he had not. In a back-and-forth with long-time Hale friend, Kathy Robertazzo regarding an audio tape where Hale could be heard saying, “…anybody who kills a Jew should not spend any time in jail,” Bill White made the following comment…

“I also agree, killing any of the hate Jews who are wrecking this society should not result in jail time.”

Within his writings, which are generally always peppered with the sputum of the insane, he has always been quite fond of trying to make himself appear omnipresent and much more important than he really is. The majority of people who read any of what he prints can sift through his narcissistic back-pats and realize quickly that he is quite demented. However, his irresponsible behaviors became much more than tiresome, they became detrimental to the well-being of innocent people.

In a frenzy over the testimony of Tony Evola, a government informant, during the Hale trial, Bill White published Evola’s home address and phone number – only it was for an Anthony Evola - a completely unrelated person to the informant. White’s actions resulted in an innocent family being harassed and terrorized and placed under police protection. White would later claim…

“After my company published Tony Evola's personal information, the FBI held a press conference. Did they denounce us by name? No -- they mentioned our headlines, and said that they were "maybe" trying to find a way to "legally" shut us down. Why did they hem and haw and hedge their words? Because they knew there was about shit they could do, but they wanted to sound tough for you dopes who persist in believing that the government has a duty to shut down all criticism of Jews, everywhere. Hale was a strawman, and the papers published his name everywhere; we are not strawmen, and the FBI fears to name us.”


In truth, the press conference came after the information that White published had been picked up by others and made the rounds on message boards noted to be frequented by the lunatic fringe of our society. Additionally, the information that he posted was absolutely erroneous and brought much grief to innocent people. However, in his egomaniacal fashion, he tried to seem important enough to cause the Federal Bureau of Investigation to call a press conference.



In truth, they mentioned no website by name. Yet in the news accounts that were on TV, the website shown to have the information available belonged to Hal Turner. This was just a real hard pill for Bill White to swallow. Not only did they not mention him or Overthrow - they showed a picture of a website other than his. Consequently, he felt compelled to do some damage control so that others would find him to be an important person in all of this.

Since they failed to mention the self-aggrandized Bill White and his website by name, it had become incumbent upon him to portray them as weak and impotent in an effort to cajole them into giving him more attention.

Affiliating himself with Hale afforded him an opportunity, as he perceived it, to boost his site ratings, thereby validating his effectiveness and worthiness in the movement. Yet, he could not allow Hale to appear more virile than he was. Therefore, he reduced him to a "strawman" and in the next breath, elevated himself to that of potency. Claiming that the FBI "fears" him because of his dominion, in his eyes, made him appear untouchable and all-important.

Perception is everything, right?

In his continued quest for recognition, Bill White would continue with the baiting of law-enforcement and others…

“LSN has considred releasing the names and addresses of the jury members, but has decided to defer that decision until the current climate of hate and hostility, stoked up by the Jewish press and violent members of the FBI, has passed.”

And so it continued. White, with little to no first-hand knowledge of the trial or the players used his website and his keyboard to attempt to catapult himself into the arena of the courtroom and public opinion seeking nothing more than attention.

Fabricating stories, insinuating himself into situations he believes will bring him notoriety, manipulating the gullible, and exploiting those who he can along the way has become a way of life for Bill White. His voracious appetite for attention is widely known and he has become a pariah in the hate movement. This week, however, he may have finally met his destiny – a fate blueprinted by himself and brought to fruition with his own hands.

In 2005, Judge Joan Lefkow arrived home to find her husband and mother brutally murdered in her basement. All eyes were once again focused on Matthew Hale who sat in a jail cell awaiting sentencing.

It’s important to state that prior to Hale’s arrest he had been embroiled in the aforementioned trademark suit with Judge Lefkow and he and his followers had seen fit to publish all of the personal information about the Judge on various websites and message boards.

Immediately after the murders, Hal Turner, a racist, internet talk-show host, posted a picture of the judge with the caption “GOTCHA” as well as the personal information on other federal judges he felt were deserving of “attention.”

Not to be outdone, Bill White wrote an article about the murders in which he stated…

“I don't feel bad that Judge Lefkow's family was murdered today. In fact, when I heard the story I laughed. "Good for them!" was my first thought.

“Everyone associated with the Matt Hale trial has deserved assassination for a long time. At the time, I believe I said that if I were Hale and I was being railroaded like this I would kill -- not the judge -- but the ADL officers involved and their witnesses.

“Yesterday, when the ADL officials and FBI agents and federal prosecutors and federal judges who are responsible for the persecution of the white race went to bed, they had no fear that they would ever be held accountable for any unreasonable or immoral ruling against a white activist. White activists were ridiculed. They were mocked. They were the kind of silly Jewish-television- show bad guy that anyone could kick around and know they could get away with it. For all the propaganda alleging white activists are "violent" "terrorist" or "dangerous", to the Jewish system white nationalists were nothing more than a bunch of fringe losers, not to be taken seriously.

“Tonight, as these same ADL officials and FBI agents and federal prosecutors and federal judges go to bed, they have to think that tomorrow they may wake up and find their families murdered…”

As it turned out, the person responsible for the murders of Judge Lefkow’s family was not believed to be part of the racist movement. Yet, the Hal Turner’s and Bill White’s of this world, ever the opportunists, sought to capitalize on the heinous crime.

For those who believe neo-Nazi’s and hate groups to be inconsequential in modern society, it should be pointed out that the actions and the crimes that are associated with such groups has often resulted in changing the system of jurisprudence that we all live under today.
The irresponsibility of those who published the personal information of judges on the internet resulted in a push for limitations being placed upon the very freedoms that these groups cloak themselves in. As an outgrowth of their actions and the murder of these two innocent people, a new law was passed outlawing any such publications in the future.

Now, in a sane society of sane people, it would be sane to believe that all of this would have put an end to the outlandish acts of Bill White. It would be sensible to assume that White would be more responsible in the future. But, the world of Bill White is not sane, rational, or sensible. His insatiable need for recognition continued to spiral out of control.

In 2007, Bill White was presented with a national incident that gave rise to what might be his last hurrah. The case of the Jena 6 brought civil rights groups and leaders into the national forefront as they marched through the streets of Jena, Louisiana in protest of unequal treatment for six black teens and the racist actions of city officials.

White saw this as the ultimate opportunity for him to garner national attention – and he got busy. Railing against the Reverand Al Sharpton and others, Bill White called for the lynching of what had been dubbed the Jena 6, located and published the addresses and phone numbers of the families of the six youths, as well as that of the Sharpton’s.

White had also done the same thing with Pulitzer Prize winner, Leonard Pitts, earlier in the year because of an exception that the racists took with an article that he had published – but the Jena case created an even bigger stir – and Bill White wanted big.

But, even that eventually died down. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, no matter what he did, he was not getting precisely what he wanted. Even his members in his American National Socialist Worker’s Party were becoming irreverent and disrespectful. He wanted a bigger issue.

The hallmark of a depraved individual is often found in the disdain that he has for those closest to him. Over the years, Bill has been notorious for, not just his lashing out at minorities, but for his abuse of others in the movement. Much of this comes from his narcissistic personality and his perception that no one is as good or as smart as he is.

He has consistently surrounded himself with others who are considered the outcasts of the racist front – this, I believe is purposeful on the part of White. Much as the teen-aged girl who has little confidence in herself often befriends only those who are less attractive in an effort to feel superior, White adopts those who are less intelligent, easily duped, and more malleable. Then he discards them.

He doesn’t just throw them away, however. He uses them as his emotional punching bags. He castigates them, he publicly berates and belittles them, and he deals heavy blows of humiliation. This is an outcropping of his own personal dilemma – his own insecurities – his own need for self-validation.

As members of his group were bailing out and he was banished from one of the largest forums on the net, Bill was not doing well. At one point this Spring, he finally admitted to being seriously depressed and made the following statements…

“Combined with this dead feeling I realized the other day that I have, almost without realizing it, though that may seem a bit strange, developed a very intricate plot for the murder of about a score of Roanoke City’s Negro nuisances and their annoying counterparts at the Roanoke Times. I know everything about these assholes – where they live, who they live with, what they look like, where they go, when they go there. I estimate I could probably, in the course of a few hours, kill fifteen out of the twenty easy if I picked the right day and time, and still lived long enough to travel the country and begin picking off the ridiculous “independent journalists” that staff the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Report. I have a list of those as well. What’s amazing is that I’ve been doing this almost without paying attention to it, until I started thinking about things the other day.
“The other day I read something, as it happened, about post traumatic stress disorder. It was completely random, but something struck me when it mentioned dissociation. I was a psych major with biological and clinical foci at University of Maryland; I studied stuff like this. I realized that dissociate was an extremely good term for what I was doing. The other day I drew a gun and was ready to kill one of my tenants, based mostly on behavior from the tenant that while violent and disruptive, would usually have rolled off my back. As I’ve thought about things the past few days, I’ve realized that I’ve been avoiding confrontations solely to avoid killing people. As my list of people to kill has grown, it has become rather paralyzing.”

A couple of months ago, Bill announced that he intended to publish and distribute a “mini-magazine,” if the funds could be raised. He baited other racists with a proposed cover that depicted presidential candidate Barack Obama speaking to a large crowd. The picture contained a target on Obama’s head and a caption of “Kill This Nigger.” Needless to say, a chill was sent up and down the spine of most readers.

Where is the proverbial line, we asked? Had Bill White finally stepped over that line? Maybe.

In the midst of all of this it was announced that Matt Hale had filed an appeal to reduce his sentence. Claiming that his counsel was lacking and that a key juror had ties to Northwestern University where a former member of his Church had committed a shooting and that the juror had an African-American boyfriend and should have been excluded, Hale filed for a reduction in his 40 year sentence.

Bill White saw another opportunity. He dug up the name and personal information of the juror and published it on his website. The juror then began to receive phone calls and text messages of a threatening nature. At least one of those calls was placed by Bill White using his wife’s cell phone.

On Friday, October 17th, 2008, Bill White was arrested. The initial indictment lists the intimidation of said juror and cites many of the incidents mentioned here. It should also be noted that charges and evidence brought before a grand jury are generally just enough to achieve an indictment and rarely indicates everything in the government’s case.

Bill was denied bail this morning pending a hearing on Wednesday, October 22nd. Reactions to this turn of events has been cautious among the anti-racist crowd. Within the White Nationalist circle, however, the news has been met with cheers, I-told-you-so’s, and pessimism mixed in with a few, very few, well-wishes.

Bill saw the handwriting on the wall last week when his computers were seized and word came down that some of his previous supporters had been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury. With lot’s of finger-pointing and name calling he named those he believed to be the “rats” and the “snitches” and a couple who he threw in just for good measure.

Will the government be able to bring an iron-clad case against Bill
White? I guess we will just have to wait and see. For now, at any rate, we can only say for certain that the man once known as the “Millionaire Nazi” may not be so rich after all. Money definitely doesn’t buy everything – and falling off of a self-made pedestal is really a hard fall.

We’ll keep you updated as all of this moves forward.

WHITE ARRESTED

Roanoke neo-Nazi jailed on federal charges

Photo courtesy of the Roanoke City JailA white supremacist known for his inflammatory Internet postings about race-related issues - and his verbal attacks on the people involved in them - has been arrested on federal charges.

William A. White, commander of the Roanoke-based American National Socialist Workers Party, was being held without bond this morning in the Roanoke City Jail, according to Lt. Mark Sweentenberg of the Roanoke Sheriff's Office.

Asked what White is charged with, jail officials referred questions to federal authorities. "That's all we know, that he's a federal inmate," Sweetenberg said.

Kevin Foust, a senior FBI agent who supervises the bureau's Roanoke office, referred questions to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago.

Officials there were not immediately available for comment.

However, a copy of what appears to be a search warrant recently used to seize White's computer equipment, which White posted to a Yahoo message group earlier this week, indicates a Chicago link to a federal investigation into his activities.

The warrant authorized FBI agents to search a Patterson Avenue building that houses the computer equipment White uses to maintain his Web site, overthrow.com. According to the warrant, authorities were looking for computer files and other records "that may contain all evidence of the crime of threatening Hale Juror A."

In an interview earlier this week, White said that's a reference to a juror in the case of Matthew Hale, who was convicted by a Chicago jury in 2004 of soliciting the murder of a U.S. District Court judge.

White said he recently included information about the juror, including a home address, in an overthrow.com posting that raised concerns about the case. But White said he made no threats against the juror.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama organization that monitors hate groups, agreed on its Web site that White did not directly propose violence against the juror.

"But he told his readers that the man 'played a leading role in inciting both the conviction and the harsh sentence that followed," a blog item on the law center's Web site states. "He also described the conviction as wrongful and said the prison term handed Hale was a 'criminally long sentence.' "

Mark Potok, director of the law center's Intelligence Project, said Thursday that while White has often come close to the line between free speech and criminal activity, he may have finally crossed it by posting personal information about a juror.

Federal authorities are particularly sensitive about protecting jurors in cases such as Hale's, Potok said.

Since the FBI seizure of White's computer equipment last Saturday, overthrow.com has been down.

But White apparently was not charged until recently. In a posting to a Yahoo message group for white supremacists, made either late Thursday night or sometime during the day Friday, someone identifying himself as White said the FBI had just executed a second search warrant, this one on his home.

"They left remarking on how they did not have anything with which to chargesme [sic] and they needed to plan theyre [sic] next step," the post stated.

With White now in jail, the next step will be an arraignment before a magistrate judge, which could happen as early as Sunday afternoon.

BILL WHITE - A HISTORY - PART III


PART III
KAISER BILL


A master of self promotion? Well, for awhile, maybe. Any attempts by Bill White to promote himself have met with minimal and transient success. While self-aggrandizement is White's stock-in-trade, disinformation is his schtick. As an anarchist, Bill White was laughed at and rarely taken seriously, as a Nazi he is lucky to still be breathing and running around free. For about a minute, White did a stint writing for "Pravda," the paper of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. But, sometime in 2000, White began to pen articles favorable to the racist right in general and to the National Alliance in particular. This got him in the door with Billy Roper who was Deputy Membership Coordinator for the NA at that time. And this also was the kiss of death for Mr. White. In an interview with White Revolution, White attempts to explain his metamorphosis:

"In 1999, after Columbine, I had a series of revelations about the movement I was involved in and its nature. I had become interested in the corruption of anti-racist groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, and became doubly interested in organized Judaism through some things that had been said about me to Reuters by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. I began reading both national socialist writings and books critical of communism from a conservative and anti-Semitic perspective, and came to realize that the left-wing movements I had been involved in were a total fraud. You cannot understand the actions of a left-wing group through left-wing analysis; to understand what I was actually seeing on a day to day basis of working with them I had to seek an outside frame of reference.

"What I concluded was that communism was an insane and internally inconsistent doctrine that required its adherents to learn a series of fallacious, untrue, and often complicated arguments in order explain away the every day facts that run in the face of their theory. How can one explain the Communist Party's open alliance with the Democrats except through a series of nearly insane logical leaps?

"As I've learned more, I've come to realize that communism is simply a manifestation of Judaism, particularly of the kinds of Judaism that Jews event to sell to Gentiles. Christian Zionism is the same kind of doctrine, as are liberalism, neo-conservativism, state capitalism, democratic socialism, anti-racism, and the like. Judaism is a spiritual movement of destruction, and all things it creates are created for the purpose of attacking and destroying the creative civilizations of Traditional people. Communism, because it is Jewish, is a blind movement of hate and destruction, which is used by the other movements of hate and destruction, like the Washington Post and the Democratic Party, to weaken the creative spirit and to degenerate and destroy both white people, in our particular, and all those people of the world who adhere to Traditional or creative doctrines."

From a different perspective, that of observing Bill White for a number of years, it appears that, in truth, Bill White never really understood the premise of the left. As someone who is inherently uncomfortable within the confines of any "Movement" largely because it necessitates a certain amount of self-sacrifice, Bill White failed miserably at everything that he attempted. I believe, however, that it was the failure to feed his insatiable ego that crushed him and set him in search of new pastures. The racist right is always in search of those who will preach their brand of anti-Semitism and racism, are historically not very discerning who they let into their ranks, and Bill White said all the right things. While there were those who were not quite as welcoming as some, there were others who, taken in by White's rhetoric, began to follow his writings. In many ways, Bill White's move to the radical right was fortuitous for the left in general and ant-racists in particular.

The Narcissistic Personality must play in the spotlight at all times. That Bill White was not mentally healthy had already been evidenced in his past actions and words. His new-found acceptance among the racists was a real ego-trip for White but, as is true with the narcissist, it was never quite enough. White refused to call himself a "racialist" stating, "I try to avoid being part of any "ism". "Isms" are very constraining, and they encompass much more than just a political philosophy, but also imply certain cultural or personal-social traits, or a certain approach to life and living. I'm a Bill White-ist, but I love white people, particularly white working people, and I want to see them survive and suceed."And a "Bill White-ist" is precisely what he is. The self-love of narcissism does not allow the love or dedication to anyone or anything other than the narcissist. While Bill White might say and do all of the right things, it was not understood by the racist right that all things with White are wholly superficial as they are only a means to an end - the validating of Bill White.

As the National Alliance started to fracture, Bill White saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship while publishing a scathing attack on the Alliance. The firing of Billy Roper by Alliance leader, Erich Gliebe, had already created a huge divide among the membership. Lurid tales of corruption, mismanaged funds, promiscuity and drugs within the compound were running rampant among the racists. Seeing an opportunity to further his own personal appetite for drama and acknowledgment, White decided to join forces with Alex Linder of Vanguard News Network and Billy Roper of White Revolution in an attempt to topple the largest organized hate group in America. White was tenacious, publishing rumors and innuendoes as well as out right lies about the leaders of the National Alliance, claiming knowledge of the in-fighting among the Board of Directors, and others within the ranks, White became a formidable foe of the organization and of Erich Gliebe and Kevin Alfred Strom. Admittedly, there were many moments where we sat back and cheered Bill White on in his endeavors - we even began to wonder if he wasn't really on our side. What soon became apparent, however, was that Bill White had entered a manic phase of his disorder. No longer was he content to be noticed. No longer was he satisfied with an occasional pat on the back. He needed more, much more, than what his new found "friends" were giving him.

At some point, White hooked up with, one time White Power financier, Marc Moran. It seems that White had caught Moran's eye on the campaign trail and that Marc had contributed to his campaign. Marc had been a friend and contributor to VNN and Alex Linder. There had been some discussion between Linder and Moran about building a business to support Vanguard News Network. Hence the idea of "Shop White," an ebay type business for white people, was born. Marc Moran then fingered Bill White for assisting in the building and hosting of the business. This, of course, appealed to the ego of White and since he had been boasting around the net about being "independently wealthy," he, obviously had the time to devote to building and maintaining the site from a technical aspect. At the same time, there had already been bad blood between the National Alliance and Alex Linder, and there were some pretty harsh words thrown back and forth. National Alliance member, Chester Doles had been arrested and was facing a lot of jail time. Linder and others in the "Movement" felt that the Alliance had dropped the ball on raising funds for his defense. Vanguard News Network issued a challenge to those on the racist right. Setting a deadline, they claimed to have an anonymous benefactor who was willing to match whatever funds were donated, and the cash started rolling in. The National Alliance couldn't take public issue with this as it would certainly put them in a negative light. But the finger-pointing and discussions that ensued were more than just a little heated. Whatever fissure had started among the membership swiftly became a chasm.

During the fund-raising, Bill White kept the pressure on the Alliance, but was loosing ground among the general population as his self-love was becoming more and more evident. Many started questioning his dedication to the movement and began to delve into his anarchist past. While his writings against Jews and other minorities were often appreciated among the right, it was becoming more and more obvious that any "news" that he reported was greatly embellished and spun to the point of illegitimacy. White, witnessing much the same attitude as he had faced with the anarchist crowd, seem to spin completely out of control right before our very eyes. Struggling to maintain the attention that he thrives upon, and fighting to keep his short-lived stature among the only people who he had ever felt accepted by, Bill White began to self-destruct.

Marc Moran, the "financial spine" of VNN, had stepped into the political arena, filling a vacated seat on the City Council in Hopewell Burroughs. It wasn't long, however, before Moran's true identity and racist allegiances were made known the town's elected officials. Amidst a media frenzy and public outcries, Moran stepped down - he also stepped out of the picture. What was unbelievable to many of the racists was not only did he turn tail and run for cover, he had entrusted "Shop White" as well as the technical end of VNN to none other than Bill White. The announcement sent shock-waves through the mood of the anti-National Alliance camp. There was disbelief followed by anger - and plenty of it. With a vengeance the racists took to the internet denouncing Moran for not standing tall in his racialist beliefs. And there was much speculation as to why anyone would leave "Kaiser" Bill in charge of anything. Once it was learned, however, that Moran had been the anonymous benefactor for the Chester Doles fund, most of the members were silenced in their harangue. It wasn't until White came forth with his plans for the future of Shop White that the proverbial shit hit the fan.

Initially, it was speculated among members that Bill White had been the person to "out" Marc Moran to the voters of Hopewell Burroughs. White was, after all, the first person to break the story on Moran. He followed that with a diatribe about "Zog Agents" and a call for others on the right to make phone calls to those officials who ousted Moran. White published the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the town leaders and encouraged others to use them and voice their displeasure. For days White cajoled and prodded others to take action. The real comedy here, however, was when Bill made numerous phone calls to an official issuing obscenities and racial ephitets using his own cell phone. Of course, Caller ID captured his number.

Realizing that he was in the driver's seat when it came to Shop White and VNN, it didn't take long for the narcissistic White to engage in his typical display of muscle flexing and jaw flapping. Claiming to only be interested in the wants and needs of white people, Bill explained how Shop White would work. He posted the "Terms of Agreement. When it was realized that the TOA that White posted gave White the autonomy to do whatever he wanted with the information provided by users - including their credit card numbers - there was a roar that could be heard throughout the darkest reaches of cyber-space. The megalomania of Bill White came back and bit him squarely on the ass. The onslaught against Bill White was relentless. At one point, White accused those who were railing against him of being sent by Kevin Alfred Strom. Incapable of silencing the protests and unable to regain any footing within the racist movement White published a letter on his site supposedly from an "LSN Reader." That letter contained the real names of several key players within the rank and file of the National Alliance. Of course, as thinly veiled as the "LSN Reader" was, everyone knew that it was White. The racists were stunned. Morgan Kashden described it best:

"I have written much about Bill White. I have characterized him as the egomaniacal narcissistic person that he is. I have addressed his continuous attempts to reinvent himself and his pathological need to fit in. I never dreamed that someday I would be saying "Thank You" to Bill White - but I am doing just that. I know that the last thing that White wants at this point in time is thanks from me - but, hey, I'm just that kind of guy! What has ensued is the stuff I dream of - the almost complete decimation of the National Alliance and Vanguard News Network. What more can an anti-racist hope for?

"White Nationalists and neo-Nazi's are really not too crazy about being publicly outed. There are some who use their real names - those are generally the ones who make their living largely from their organizations, however. Marc Moran lamented the use of his real name in his day to day writings and activities for the Alliance. Others cite their jobs, communities and families as reasons not to be identified. For most of us, that is hard to understand. We are generally proud of our organizations and our affiliations with them. But, if you are part of a movement which advocates separation or genocide of other races, violent governmental overthrow or hate crimes - I guess you would be a little more circumspect about announcing your allegiances than if you were a tree-hugger. The racists were both stunned and infuriated. They have been digging up all of the information on Bill White that they can find. Of course, they had already seen him as a quirky little pest who played at being "pro-white," and who with much of his writing was prone to lies and half-truths. But now they are questioning his ethnicity - that is usually what they do when they can't do anything else. Most of those who had been supportive of White, or attempting to assert some calm over a potentially explosive situation, are now incensed by White's actions. Truly laughable in this entire epic of sleaze is that they are questioning White's integrity and character. We have been trying to tell these people for a very long time that if you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. When people of the ilk of these racists become outraged, it is always with such intensity and the outrage is always "morally" based. I guess that the old adage "what you hate in others is often what you hate most about yourself," more than fits in this situation. Perhaps I should clue them in that there is no honor among thieves or racists."

Being almost completely ostracisized by the people who had formerly embraced him, White had no where to turn. And for someone plagued by narcissism that is a bad place to be. He tried to no avail to ingratiate himself to the flock. Publishing news accounts of black on white crime, anti-semitic rantings and harangue against the government White, once again, found himself trying to fit in - somewhere. But it wasn't happening. With his insatiable need for attention reaching a fever pitch, White published tales about Shop White being hacked into by parties unknown. At one point he claimed to have been hacked by Cox Communication. As all of his machinations and lies seemed to fall on deaf ears and to garner nothing more than jeers and guffaws, White found himself sinking further and further into the recesses of leperdom. It is believed that White, in a last ditch effort at demonstrating the many problems that he was having keeping "Shop White" alive, and how unjustly persecuted he had become, entered the VNN forum under an alias and posted the list of "Shop White" customers including their names, addresses, telephone numbers, login names, passwords, and, yes, credit card numbers. The list only lasted a short while on VNN before it was pulled - but that was long enough for it to be circulated around the internet with lightning speed. Not only had the identities and personal information of the customers been made public, but their purchases as well. Imagine the chagrin of Billy Roper when it became known that among his purchases of John Wayne videos were also "Marilyn Manson - Get Your Gunn," "Lords of Acid - Take Control," "Lolita," and "The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine (An Italian nunsploitation epic in which a demented Mother Superior and a rabid collection of mentally distrubed and sex crazed sisters lose their habits and morals with equal gusto.")

As can readily be imagined, the objections were numerous. White, claiming to have been a victim of a hacker and the subsequent posting of the list by the same, got absolutely no sympathy from the racists. Running out of tricks and needing to regroup, White reached one more time into his morass of mental illness to produce one last ditch effort at regaining the attention of those who he so wished to be part of. He stole VNN and locked Alex Linder out of his own cyber-house. The end result was, of course, a demoralizing defeat for White as Linder's site re-emerged and White was again the butt of jokes from the racists.

Generally speaking, narcissistic individuals require continuous and massive attention. It makes little difference if that attention is positive or negative. If, in fact, the attention is negative they simply convince themselves that they are doing something right or that the sector giving such attention is merely jealous of them. Bill White is certainly a study in classic narcissism. Realizing that none of his stunts were working and that he had lost favor with even the lowest dregs of humanity, White went into overdrive. In an almost deranged paroxysm of maniacal writings, White raged against the Jews, and those on the anti-racist left. Article after article was written and posted in a desperate attempt to win back some of his acceptance. Intermittently between his rantings, White promoted himself. Spouting off about his finances he even wrote articles giving advice on investments. He claimed to be independently wealthy, but the racist right was having none of that. Relentlessly digging into White's background, they nixed his claims at every turn. When he claimed to be in the running for a government contract that would pay him megabucks, he was met with nothing less than derision and scorn. The racists located the names and address of his parents and published them. They accused White of never having held a job and living off of his parents. We got quite a kick out of that one because the same is true of so many of them. And White continued to seek their approval.

Claiming that he had fallen in love and had found his Utopia in a primarily white area of Missouri, White spun a tale of building a house on a hill and leaving Maryland forever. It makes sense that White took that particular track in his search for approval, as it was a road not yet traveled by him. Yearning for acceptance, White spun the utopian dream of all white racists - an all white neighborhood with no crime where children played from dawn to dusk and neighbors looked out for each other. We watched and took guesses at how long this would continue. Narcissists are largely incapable of actual love and commitment to others. Any attempt at a relationship is certain to be disastrous - and this was to be no exception. When the truth emerged, White was living in racist Nazi, Jennifer Adams'(known as "Hooligirl" on the internet) house under a rental agreement with her. According to Adams, White was renting a room in her house. He came into her bedroom one night while she was talking to another guy on the internet and flew into a rage. Things became physical, the police were called and White was forced to leave. Of course, there is the Bill White spin. According to White, Jennifer was unstable and she was the one who flew into a rage and attacked him. Whatever really transpired in that house will probably always be up for speculation. But Bill White filled his site with the saga of he and Jennifer, the police, her parents, and the lawsuit that he filed against her. Unfortunately for White who desperately wanted the world to believe that he and Jennifer were an item, when he sued for money and belongings he admitted to the rental contract that he had with Adams.

White openly went through all of the stages of self-serving grief. He blamed, he lamented, he denied and he raged. Then he ran away. Taking a brief sabbatical, from his beloved LSN, White ran into an old friend - Erica Hardwick-Hoesch. Erica had been part of the "Movement" for quite some time and was experiencing some inner turmoil. In an almost eerie move, White published "Ode to a Beautiful Woman" upon what he believed was a rekindling of an old friendship. Little did he know that Erica was soon to leave the ranks of the racist right to join forces with the anti-racists. Suddenly, a message appeared on his website that stunned both sides of the playing field. It was a proposal to Jennifer Adams. White stated that he had maligned and treated Jennifer badly not knowing that she was pregnant with his child. He begged her to marry him. However, it wasn't long before Adams denied that pregnancy and turned down the proposal:

Just because I am SICK of repeating it, and so many people seem to care... "I am not pregnant and I am not having Bill White's love child. Furthermore, if I was, it would be an immaculate conception. We were only friends and he couldn't handle that. By his own accounts, he is trying to sue me for breach of lease agreement.

According to his own articles he picked my bedroom lock because I locked myself in MY ROOM all day. I was talking to another guy on the net at the time... Everyone who knows me in REAL LIFE knows that I was utterly repulsed by Bill. He did many weird things like pick my locks, go through my drawers... sniffing my dirty underwear, and I even caught him wearing lingerie one time, and it wasn't mine!

He has been emailing me and calling me non-stop. He thinks I must love him if I can hate him sooo much. According to my boyfriend, "He is away with the fairies".

Over the next few months, White continued to make a complete and utter ass out of himself. At one point he issued a threat against the President of the United States. Later he claimed that someone had posted that threat on his website and that he was in contact with the Secret Service over this and the posting of the Credit Card numbers from Shop White. Of course, the racists then labeled him a "snitch" and a "rat." To many of them, Bill White was nothing more than an annoyance. To others, however, he had become a serious liability and someone who had to be stopped. One poster on VNN issued the following plea:

"Any information on Bill White aka William Alexander White, his family, credit card numbers, passwords, criminal history, addresses, friends, web articles is welcome. It can come from a white racialist, ARA, Jews, blacks, whites... we don't care, we all hate William A White all the same. Any peice of information that can put Bill White back into the mental hospital is really wanted."

Yet another went a step further:

"Now, however, it has come to the forefront in many people's minds that Bill White must be permanently neutralized. He must be neutralized by digging up every stone he lurks under, by plastering the Internet with every unsavory story about him, by letting everyone know where he lives, by exposing every little detail about him that can be found, including public records, pictures of where he lives, what his family members look like, where he's been and where he's at now, the car he drives, the company he keeps, even the toilet he craps in."

The threats and "suggestions" being issued took a very ominous turn:

"Isn't it horrible that you will always have to be in hiding for the rest of your life? No more public appearances, no more running for office. And someone is going to visiting that home for sale with your Mom, and she will probably be all alone."

And those who weren't making threats were hurling accusations:

"It is now two weeks to the day since Bill White posted to his web site a direct and unambiguous threat against the life of President of the United States. He seems to be still at large. For the United States Secret Service to have given White a "pass" on this is simply stunning. I notice that almost by common consent the topic seems to have been swept under the rug and seems to have almost disappeared from this board. Vot giffs? "I say it is because as I have said since I first ran into Mr B White, that he is just a CIA asset. Remember kiddies, the Company, as us Old Crows call them can not operate on USA soil, but this sure does give them a chance to get the SS Secret Service involved who can operate on USA soil. Which if this were not cointellpro, why did the mighty SS Secret Service not investigate the Credit card numbers stolen from ShopWhite earlier when credit card fraud is 90% of their normal work."

It became very obvious very quickly that Bill White was dead in the water as far as any usefulness he might have amongst the racist right. Never again would he be accepted or validated by those whose favor he so ardently sought. Once that fact became evident, the speculation as to his next move, or reinvention of himself, might be:

"It is probably time for Bill to "reinvent" himself again.

"I smell "born again anti-racist" and a long tour on the ADL's talk show and rubber chicken dinner circuit. Can you say "Floyd Cochran?" SURE you can!"

We sincerely doubt that Bill White would ever be able to pull that off. His public displays of instability and chameleon machinations have rendered him an outcast from any circle of respectability. Watching Bill White as he entered the last throes of the debilitating mental illness from which he has long suffered, has not been easy on any of us. While White is at that right end of the continuum which we fight, he is, in fact, a human being in pain - and that is not something which we enjoy seeing.

As he entered his last hoorah, White was almost pitiful. The trial of Matt Hale provided him with a little spark. He joined forces with another person in need of therapy, Creator Kathy Robertazzo, and attempted to report on the proceedings as if they were there. The truth is that neither were present and the spin that was put on the daily events was evidence enough that neither knew what in the hell they were talking about. But White had one more trump to play. As the testimony of FBI confidential informant, Tony Evola, gave the jury in the Hale trial enough evidence to convict, Bill White decided that Evola should reap some of what he had sewn. White published the name, address and phone number of Evola on his website with a message for folks to say "Hi." It didn't take long for the information to appear on racist websites throughout cyber-space. While no one really liked Bill White - they disliked Tony Evola even more. The problem, however, came when Mr. Evola started getting phone calls from some very disgruntled and uncouth people. It seems that Bill White had targeted the wrong Anthony Evola! This little stunt by White created a very unsafe atmosphere for a family that was in no way connected to Matt Hale, the racist right, or Bill White. Of course, the FBI found no humor in what White had done. The Fed's swiftly issued a statement stating their concerns and their plans to monitor the sites of the racists. With false bravado, Bill White took a combative and somewhat bellicose stance claiming that the Federal Government would never shut him down. As warnings were issued throughout the racist community to be careful about what is posted on various forums, White was cavorting in his usual rapacious and grandiose way spouting his self-importance and claiming that the FBI was afraid of him.

A couple of last ditch efforts to maintain his own self-gratification were made by Bill White. In a flurry of posts on his website he tried to tie Citizens Against Hate and One People's Project to a shooting that occurred at Brian Moudry's house. Brian is a Creator who had led a protest against the Hale conviction in Joliet, Illinois. His house was shot at later that evening. White also suggested that he might post the names and addresses of the jurors in Hale's trial. This was followed by an article entitled It's Bitch Slappin' Time" which was published on the Citizens Against Hate website. Bill White made a feeble attempt to locate information on those involved with Citizens Against Hate. Taking a screen name of one of the Directors, Roh Larin, Bill White posted a convoluted message on his website that went something like this: The P.O. Box for CAH is in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since there is a lot of trouble which comes from anti-racists out of Cleveland, there is a good chance that they are really based in Cleveland. CAH is also part of Unity Groups and when you do a google search for Unity Groups it takes you to a high school in Cleveland. Additionally, there is a "Larin" listed in Cleveland - a female. Since Roh Larin probably lives with his mother - that is probably the place. Bill White then published the name and personal information for a woman with the last name of Larin who has absolutely no connection whatsoever to Citizens Against Hate. We guess he learned nothing from his Tony Evola fiasco. Of course, the authorities were notified as well as the innocent woman.

As was stated earlier, we are not profiling Bill White because he is a racist or anti-Semite. We believe that the convictions that he claims to hold are absolutely superficial and transient in nature. Having an understanding of the illness that appears to plague Bill White helps in that area. As with relationships, we do not believe that Bill White is capable of maintaining a convicted stance for or against anything. It appears that White's sole existence is controlled by his need for acceptance and validation. Consequently, his political standing, ideological leanings and philosophy on life and its issues merely change when the need arises for more or greater attention. However, Bill White should not be discounted as a harmless nut floating around the internet. Bill White is a dangerous persona. His ability to lie and deceive and fabricate is going to get someone hurt. His intelligence matched with his adeptness at divisionary tactics pits one person or group against another. His lack of remorse and societal understanding borders on sociopathic psychosis and should never be written off as non-threatening. Therefore, Bill White will remain within our radar screen as long as he continues to be a menace to society.

It's easy to dismiss those on the extremist right as "Whacko" or "Nuts" or "Insane." The truth of the matter is, however, that the vast majority would not meet the criteria set for mental illness. Sadly, the vast majority are perfectly sane with outrageous views. Every once in awhile, however, someone emerges who defies all claims of sanity. Such is the case with Bill White.

We are not profiling Bill White because he poses a threat as a racist or anti-semitist. While he spews the rhetoric and the venom, it is questionable how much he really believes in what he is saying and how much he says these things just for attention. In reality, Bill White doesn't fit into any boxes. He is not an adherent to any organization or ideology. He simply flies by the seat of his pants reinventing himself along the way. That he has chosen the racist right to hitch his wagon to isn't surprising since he could never lean far enough left or be honest enough in his endeavors to fit in among the anarchists he initially chose. We are profiling Bill White because we believe that he is a dangerous man who will do ANYTHING to get attention, who will do ANYTHING to be accepted, and who might do ANYTHING if he fails.

It has been reported that as a youth Bill White was a troubled person. Though intelligent and articulate, White seemed to always be in trouble. At an early age, White started developing an interest in political issues and it has been reported by a middle school teacher that he would debate "anything and everything." While this could be construed as a helthy intellectual exercise, in White's case he simply became more and more aggressive in his questioning and served no other purpose than to be disruptive in the classroom. Generally, youths engaging in such overtly disruptive acts are seeking attention and recognition. Once he entered high school, according to research compiled by One People's Project, the aggression displayed in middle school debate escalated to a physical confrontation with a female teacher for which he received a three day suspension.

White attended three different high schools where he engaged in disruptive and aggressive behaviors throughout. It is reported that in his last school he was voted "Most Likely to Appear on America's Most Wanted," an honor he apparently is trying to live up to in his daily escapades today.

After high school, White attended Montgomery College for a year and then moved to the University of Maryland. Interestingly enough, and perhaps most compelling, is the fact that White was studying psychology and expressed a desire to work with troubled teens. Considering Bill's own problems as a youth, this, in and of itself, is not too surprising. His approach, however, to providing help for those children in need, however, is most troublesome.

In February of 1996, White was supposedly told by the friends of a young, emotionally disturbed teenager, that the girl was suffering abuse at the hands of her parents. Apparently they gave White all of the girl's personal information. It took White no time at all to begin posting messages to various groups on the internet about the rumored situation. Within minutes, readers were urged to call the parents and "tell her you are disgusted and you demand that she stops." Subsequently, threatening phone calls unnerved the girls parents. In an article that appeared in the Washington Post,it was revealed that much of the information shared with White by the girls friends, came from a highly confidential counseling session, and that the young lady was being seen for emotional problems. The family became extremely distraught over the invasion of their privacy and the threatening phone calls. In an interview with White, the Post quoted him as saying:

"You should be able to write what you want on the Internet, whether it's true or not."

Apparently, Bill White still believes that statement today.

Concurrently, White was honing his own brand of anarchist thought - a lot of which centered around teens. White founded the "Utopian Anarchist Party" and set forth an agenda to "eliminate the government of the United States and not replace it." Two of the stated goals were "the elimination of coerce public schooling and the elimination of coercive juvenile psychiatry." Additionally, White and a couple of his cohorts started the "Runaway Railway," a shelter for runaway teens. On his UAP website, White published the following message:

"To the dismay of the police and the media (Washington Post, July 26, 1996, page A1) the Utopian Anarchist Party has initiated a program to assist young people who have been abandoned or forced to leave their homes. If you are young and alone and have nowhere to go, or if your parents are trying to lock you up or otherwise abuse you, contact the Utopian Anarchist Party and we'll do whatever we can to help you, regardless of state or local laws. The UAP provides youth support, and doesn't care about the consequences."

White then provides a link to his "Rules For Running" where he lists the Do's & Don't's for running away:

Packing

Big Backpack -- no purses or carry bags (you'll lose them)
No identification -- cops can't call in what you don't have
Personal Care -- toothbrush, razors, deodorant, soap, etc.
Clothes and coat -- wear as much as possible, pack extra
Good shoes/Boots -- you're gonna do a lot of walking
Gun/Knife -- carry concealed; it's dangerous out there
Money -- take it, and don't rely on pawning valuables
Drugs -- primarily for sale; great source of income
Book or two -- you'll have lots of free time

People

Friends -- pick and choose carefully
Boyfriend/Girlfriend -- safe, unless "they know best"
Parents/Schools/Police -- 100% liars and scum
Friend's Parents -- you're just sleeping over; don't trust them
People who want to "help" you -- friends or not, don't trust
Strangers -- don't trust them; robbers, rapists, kidnappers
Anarchists -- trust us; we put our necks out

Locations

Not your best friend's -- first place they look
Not a complete stranger's -- rape and kidnap are dangers
Friend of a friend's -- if they're trustworthy, the best place
Abandoned houses -- great places to stay and hide
Chill spots -- apartments people come and go at; great
Outdoors -- dpends on weather and distance; maybe
Under bridges/drainspouts -- maybe; not the best

Disguise

Cut it short or shave it -- better to grow long, but hard to do
Dye your hair -- natural colors; not obviously dyed
Grow a beard or shave -- confounds verbal descriptions
Change clothing style/appearance -- easiest big change
Dodging Cops

First there will be rumors or "leads" -- mostly gossip
Every friend your parents know is a lead
Let the police exhaust the leads -- you'll become a "cold case"
Avoid your friends -- no new leads
Don't go to school -- you'll be caught
Stay local, but out of your neighborhood -- it's "hot"
Stay out of public places -- malls, stores, the rest

Emergency
Cops? Stay calm -- DON'T PANIC or draw attention
Is the cop looking for you? -- or is this just a random stop
Robber, Rapist, et al. -- fight, and kill them if you have to

Don't

Go to your best friend's house -- we repeat, it's important
Deal with the cops in any capacity
Stay at any place more than one week, at least for a while
Let people know where you are or where you're going
Trust others too easily

Additionally, White then provides explicit instructions on making drugs and, at one point, making bombs.

According to Mark Salotte, "Among the UAP's advertised "programs" was something called the "Runaway Railroad" -- supposedly set up to offer safe houses and resources to runaway teenagers.trying to start life independently of their parents. This was an example of a project desperately needed in the anarchist movement, which led maybe a few of us to hopefully believe White's "movement" was for real. In reality, however, the so-called "railroad" was most likely (to the extent that it even existed) just a scam for Bill to find underage girls to hook up with and influence. Most of the anarchist movement concluded that he was useless and dangerous at best, and most likely a police agent provocateur to boot. Still, a few people who didn't have to deal too closely with him held out judgement in the hopes that he might be just ignorant but well-intentioned and enthusiastic."

How well-intentioned White was will probably never be known. It has been reported, however, that White got busted with certain articles of clothing in his car that belonged to a runaway girl.

All of these things, however, didn't draw too many cries of outrage among the anarchists. Most of the negatives were directed at White personally because of his obvious and overt manipulations of the ideology, in what appeared to be an exercise in self-glorification on the part of White. The true outrage didn't surface until it was believed that he was in the process of exploiting children.

In May of 1996, White boasted about a police investigation of him that was centered around runaways in Gaithersburg:

"A team of Montgomery County investigators, headed by Detetctive Victor A. Kennedy of the Youth Services Division of the Wheaton-Glenmont District, and in concjunction with the City of Gaithersburg and other local jurisdictions, have been invesitgating local anarchists and anarchist sympathizers for providing asistance, including shelter, transportation and other services, to several runaways. Two sought after runaways were captured in a raid in Gaithersburg, and police have interrogated seveal people and have threatened to arrest prominent anarchist Bill White (me) after officers searched his car during a traffic stop."

Furthering his outrageous pseudo-anarchist stance, White issued the following statement in regard to the runaway investigation:

"Anarchy is a righteous philosophy, and our sympathizers will continue to act in a righteous manner. The youths in question are trying to escape from homes filled with brutal beatings, vicious threats, and serious mental and emotional abuse, and we will not allow those youths or any other youths to be returned to those households against their will. Let the police come, for we will fight and die before we allow them to deny these peole their rightful freedom."

Sometime during this period, White got into a scuffle with the police and was arrested. It has been reported that White was placed in a psychiatric facility for a brief period, and that would fit considering the absurdity of his actions. During the time that he was away, however, White left Luke Kuhn in charge of the UAP. This was, undoubtedly, the crowning blow to his anarchist organization. As much as Bill White was disliked by others in that realm, Kuhn was liked even less.

Needing more attention than what he was getting, White strove for new heights of malevolence when 14-year-old Michael Carneal, the son of a prominent attorney, walked into the crowded lobby of Heath High School in Kentucky on December 3, 1997, and opened fire killing 3 and wounding 5 others, Bill White made the following statement:

"The only thing Michael Carneal did wrong was not take out more of these Christian pigs. By eliminating three future Bible-thumping lunatics he did America a service, and we should thank, and not revile, him for it."

No one could figure out where White was coming from. Generally speaking, anarchists aren't racist or anti-semitical. They believe in self-determination and self rule. Bill White, sparked anger among the group with his often racist statements and claims. Some attempted to categorize him as a "Third Posisitionist," and those who fit nicely into that category didn't want to claim him among their ranks either. It seemed that White fit in nowhere. And, for a narcissist, that is not unusual but to this narcissist it was totally unacceptable.

Always striving for acceptance and attention, White threw his hat into the political arena in 1998. He announced his candidacy for a Montgomery County School Board seat. Knowing that he had no following to speak of, White made a mockery of the race. On his election profile White was asked to list his previous elected offices or his civic activities. His response:

"Utopian Anarchist Party; marched in Communist May Day rally, May 1998; protested against police cover-up of police brutality in Montgomery County; burned flag at anti-Gulf War rally; organized with Refuse and Resist! for abortion rights."

When asked why people should vote for him, White replied: "Look, let's be honest-democracy is a sham. It's a charade played by the ruling class to give the rest of us the illusion of power. Candidates are pre-selected for the ballot by political parties owned by the rich. This election, I say don't 'Rock the Vote,' I say '[Expletive] the vote.' Don't worry about electing me-even if elected, they wouldn' t let an [expletive] like me do anything. Vote for me because you hate them. Vote for me because you hate the way they smile as they kill you. Vote for me because you want them to rot."

Of course he lost the election. For most of us, we could chalk such immaturity up to a rebellious nature that thrived on being iconoclastic. Generally, however, such rebelliousness is outgrown and redirected into more positive energies. Classically narcissistic people become welded in their quest for attention and acceptance. Rarely can they sate their thirst. Such appears to be the case with White.

On the morning of April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold went on a shooting rampage at Columbine High School in Colorado. They killed 12 students and a teacher. Seeing this as an opportunity to gain media attention, Bill White publicly applauded the shooters and called for support of their actions:

"We have to remember that people who go and shoot up their schools are not acting as tyrants here. These are oppressed people who are struggling against society and who are now fighting society in the only way they know how. These students have spent their lives tortured by society, and now they are fighting back. We have to admire them for doing it. How many of us will ever fight back?"

As his comments ired those who read them, he claimed to have brought one CNN reporter to the brink of tears with his caustic and hateful remarks. Seeing that he was becoming popular with the media because of his outlandish statements, White decided to capitalize on the attention by asserting that these children had been members of his Utopian Anarchist Party. Setting the stage for this announcement, White reported:

"The showdown is still ongoing, as anarchists today say the two men involved may be local Utopian Anarchist Party organizers. Confirmation of the men's identities has not been made. "The two men, students at the school, entered the school around 11:30 AM, during lunch, and began shooting the preppy bitches who had spent their lives bullying and picking on the shooters."

White demonstrated his lack of compassion for the victims and their families at every turn. Preaching anarchy and violence, he penned the following:

"What saddens me most in Colorado is not that someone got shot; people are shot every day, and the people who were shot in Colorado are not particularly blessed people. What saddens me is that the people who were shot were not the most deserving. What saddens me is that the message being sent has been dulled by the choice of target. Had this shooting occurred outside a police station, or outside the NATO conference, or outside the White House, it would have been much more effective.

"I understand the anger students feel against the preppy bastard "white hats". I understand the hatred of drone society and drone culture. I understand feeling that one cannot live within drone society, and I understand the feeling that suicide is one's only viable option. Before any UAP supporter commits suicide, I would commend to them the kind of glorious, vengeful death seen in Colorado today.

"These two students said they found God in themselves. I agree. Man is God. This revelation, that the individual, and no outside power, is in control of the individual's destiny is often a difficult load to bear. It is the duty of the anarchist movement to teach individuals that they are in power, and that they can change, and that instead of striking back randomly they should strike back with precision at the most responsible and most evil elements of our society.

"I would prefer that no one had been killed today, and that the young people involved had been turned into revolutionaries rather than suicide bombers. I would prefer the 'victims' had been educated and transformed rather than brutally murdered. But there are times when brutal murder is inescapable, and it is not for me to judge the situation without full knowledge of the relations between the shooters and the 'victims.'

"Let me conclude by saying that I do not oppose school shootings, that I understand the anger involved, and that I would recommend only that in the future UAP activists be more circumspect in their selection of targets."

In an article entitled "Third Positionist" Fascism In The US: A Case Study Of Bill White" by Mark Salotte and published on the "Info-Shop News Site," the following characterization is made:

"In early 1999, White's political delusions reached a feverish pitch -- the final straw was claiming that the Columbine "Trenchcoat Mafia" were UAP members acting under his command, and that the UAP had similar attacks planned across the country. Around this time he was arrested in a scuffle with a cop. He got scared, realizing that his mouth was gonna be used against him, pleaded insanity at trial, was committed to a mental institution, and disappeared from the activist scene for several months."

This period and White's hospitalization would come back to haunt him time and again.

Struggling for recognition and acceptance, realizing that the UAP was rapidly deteriorating around him, White once more decided to run for the School Board. This time he decided to change his platform somewhat and test the waters to see if he could garner more support. He listed his education as "self-educated" and claimed to be an "independently wealthy humanitarian." For his civic activities, White boasted, ": Ten years of political activism in: street-level anti-racist, anti-police brutality, free-speech, youth issues and issues of liberty in the public schools, anti-war/anti-imperialism." If those statements were not enough to insure defeat, his rationale for why people should cast their votes to him sealed it:

"The public school system is systematically destroying America by undermining our culture and destroying our understanding of the necessity of liberty, particularly in the minds of the common people and working class. Though students are graduating from schools unable to read, no student is leaving school not knowing how to duckspeak the slogans of the liberal ruling class. We need to reinstitute in all public schools an appreciation for liberty, how Americans won their liberty, and how they had maintained it, and how the current one-party monopoly has usurped it. If we do not, our society faces destruction and enslavement."

On of the things that runs through White's entire pseudo-anarchist tapestry really surfaced during this campaign. His distaste for psychiatric counseling, along with his dislike of law-enforcement and laws, became part of his platform as a school board candidate. In a written response to the Montgomery County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations, White responds to a question regarding school safety:

"To make our schools safe, we must take steps to make students no longer want to rebel. What are the bureaucrats doing to make students want to kill? We must remove all police from schools, relax discipline policies that violate civil liberties, end coercive psychiatric counseling and psychiatric drugging in the schools, and begin anew teaching the precepts of liberty to youth. A good start will be the integration of firearms training into the physical education cirriculum, and a good ending will be an appreciation of the totalitarian, anti-working class nature of the Marxist-Leninist social doctrines currently in vogue."

Again, Bill White was defeated. Needing and craving the stroking of an ego that was out of control, White floundered around on message boards throughout cyber-space seeking self-validation. He continued to be the object of much ridicule and derision. But White, in classic narcissistic fashion, was reshaping and redefining himself. This is the narcissists survival tool. And Bill White is a survivor.

As has already been noted, he had received some cold shoulders from the anarchist crew who already viewed him at best as a racist and at worst as a neo-Nazi. Realizing that his brand of anarchy was not going to garner him much in the way of anything other than guffaws at his absurdity, White decided to become a "Libertarian Socialist." While to some this may appear to be an oxymoron, to the Libertarian Socialist, quite the opposite is true. There are many discussions online in reference to the term and we shall leave it to the reader to research, perhaps starting with this link to a rather cogent discussion - Libertarian Socialists.

White pretty much abandoned his Utopian Anarchist Party in favor of his new organization Libertarian Socialist News. White began publishing online "news reports" that were virulently anti-Semitic in nature. This drew harsh criticism once again. It seemed that White just couldn't get it right. When researching for a Libertarian Socialist perspective on racism, the following seemed to sum it up quite well:

"It has always been impossible for workers to challenge capitalism effectively so long as divisions of people based on gender, skin color, or sexual orientation have continued. Racism in particular has been used from the start as a way of dividing workers along an arbitrary basis and weakening any chances for solid organisation. So long as there is always someone being looked down upon, someone forced to accept lower wages because of their low status in society, wages in a competitive system can always be pushed to what the lowest and most desperate will accept. It should also go without saying that there is no scientific proof of the existence of separate human "races" which are truly incapable of getting along, nor is there scientific proof that women are inherently physically weaker or less intellectually capable than men. The issue of "hate speech" and pornography must always take into account the importance of artistic freedom and the necessity to criticize what one disagrees with. When it is clear that a conscious effort is being made to denigrate or divide a group of people from another, with some economic or political goal as it's motivation, libertarian socialists would resist such actions on the basis that they would divide and weaken any chance for eventual liberation from capitalism. Finally, so long as any group is prejudiced against, humanity will wage war against itself for irrational reasons, using such divisions as a means to an end when seen fit. If people understand that they too can be discriminated against, based on ANYTHING about them, it should be obvious that such discrimination, like any other human activity, has potential to be self-destructive in it's consequences."

Hence, it would appear that Bill White was at it again. Never content with the party line and always looking for that which would set him apart from all the rest, White jumped into his own racist brand of Libertarian Socialism. In an effort to, once again, redefine himself, it seems that he felt compelled to redefine the ideology to his own liking. It wasn't long before he was able to capture a little bit of the limelight once again.

In April of 2001, a debate was raging among Montgomery County Officials over whether or not to ban county funding to facilities which hold gun shows. Seing an opportunity to garner some press coverage, White seized the moment by joining the Tyranny Response Team and attending the hearing. The Tyranny Response Team is a rag-tag little group of "Patriots" who dress up in Revolution Era hats and protest gun-control throughout the United States replete with militia style rhetoric. At the Montgomery County Hearing, the Tyranny Response Team complained that the ordinance was a "broad assault on the civil liberties of firearm owners." White stepped to the forefront making the following statement about those who were in support of the bill:

"They're not worried so much about gun sales. They're worried about gun shows as a center of political organizing."

On that point, the council president seemed to agree. "These are not benign places," Ewing said. "The one I went to had a good deal of hate literature-racist and anti-jewish. People don't like that in Montgomery County." (One People's Project).

It is amazing what a few seconds of fame will do to give the narcissist a shot in the arm. Newly rejuvenated, White decided to tackle yet another issue. When the city of Kensington, Maryland was asked to light a menorah in the town square as part of its' holiday celebration, there were those in agreement and those who disagreed. After much discussion, it was decided that the 2001 celebration would be secular and patriotic. This met with strong opposition. As the cries of protest went up over what some considered a ban on Santa Claus, Bill White smelled opportunity. He swiftly issued a Press Release from the Tyranny Response Team with his plan of battle:

"Tyranny Response Team commandos and FReeper militia disguised as Santa Claus, Elves, other helpers (and even Christians), to raid anti-Santa (anti-Christmas) Kensington Town Council's "Celebration of the American Spirit Through Lights and Music" (Includes the Santa-less Town Tree Lighting Ceremony)

"Patriots will peaceably assemble near the Kensington Armory beginning around 3:30 p.m. and then occasionally disperse to cover all access and egress streets to the ceremony' s location. Remember, no profanity, no racism, no threats, no violence, ect., will be tolerated at the scene. A demonstration/protest permit is NOT required for this; regardless, local law enforcement officers should be treated with respect. We must remain "on message" defend the 1st Amendment, freedom of religion, freedom from this local government' s tyranny, while we counterattack this secular assault on Christmas. Remember that we are doing this FOR THE CHILDREN!"

And Santa's did show up. They marched right down the street. So did Bill White, carrying a sign that read "If Jews can ban Santa, why can't we ban Jews."

At this point in Bill White's internet life, he was still claiming to be non-racist and non anti-Semitic. Yet, immediately following the protest in Kensington, the following statements were posted on his site:

"I went to the rally against the Jewish ban on Santa Clause in Kensington. I had a sign that read "If Jews Can Ban Santa, Why Can't We Ban Jews? Terrorists Of Israel * Tyrants At Home-American Intifada, http:www.overthrow.com" I knew about half of the people rallying there. Most were standing with me and supporting me to start with. Then, I got surrounded by a gaggle of cackling Jews, and most of the people with me got scared off.

"The police ordered me to move my giant sign-it was 10' by 5'-across the street. As I did so, I was attacked by several members of FreeRepublic.com My sign was destroyed. I then starting mocking Free Republic with my bullhorn, talking about how lemming conservatives were phony patriots, how they hated their country, how all they know is what they read in the newspapers and how Jews own all the newspapers. My attacks on patriotism incited a gang of bikers, five of which attacked me. The police stood by until I had taken two of these five three hundred plus pound bikers who where swinging wildly at me and put them on the ground. When the cops saw the bikers losing, they moved in to intervene.

"I don't know what footage the television is showing, but I literally have only two scratches from a man's fingernail on me, despite the fact that I spent several minutes fighting with five three hundred pound bikers, all of whom then claimed to the police I assaulted them, two of whom seemed on the verge of tears and were saying "he hit me", despite the fact they broke out of a crowd of people to charge at least fifty feet before encountering me. "Despite what the newspapers and television will say, most of the non-Jewish audience was supportive of what I had to say. Only a handful of Jews and Yahoos from FreeRepublic, as well as the drug addicted, wimpy ass super-patriots with no brain three hundred pound bikers, were upset.

"My glasses and bullhorn were taken by the police and "accidentally" given to the bikers who, unable to hurt me, did destroy them. It was no great loss-I have plenty of money, and I always expect to lose things when I' m at demonstrations.

"All in all, it has been a very fun today. I am not going out to dinner with a female friend who accompanied me to the rally but, like everyone else, stayed far away from the media attention I was giving.

"I am daily becoming more and more sure that Jews are the root of most of out society' s problems. My people who were working the crowd tell me that most of the people there thought I had a point, enjoyed my sign, and thought that what the police did by not arresting the bikers was wrong. This is good- and I hope it is the beginning of a lot of fun."

In reality, many people found the sign being carried by White quite offensive. A young teen ran up and tore the sign from White's hands. The police then intervened and took the teen to the other side of the street. And that was the only incident reported on December 2, 2001, in Kensington, Maryland. It was the "beginning" however - maybe not of "fun" but it certainly marked the beginning of ascension into the world of the White Nationalist. It also marked the beginning of the end for Bill White as he rapidly flew into the radar of anti-racists.

Enjoying his newly found media attention, White decided to once again run for political office, only this time he set his sights a little higher. He ran for the Maryland State Legislature as an Independent candidate. Oddly enough, he didn't include his membership in the Tyranny Response Team in his profile. He did, however, claim to be a "published columnist" and cited "Synthesis" the journal of the National Anarchist Movement. White lost the election, garnering only 7% of the vote.

At this point, however, Bill White had begun to receive some much needed attention from the folks on the racist right. Realizing that his acceptance as an anarchist would never come, White's narcissism required that he, once again, reinvent himself. Thus began the new era of "Kaiser" Bill White. Mark Salotte had this to say:

"...he's never quite what he seems. On the one hand he's a master of self-promotion and disinformation, but on the other hand the delusions that come out in his writing are sometimes so huge and glaring that you have to wonder if he crosses the line from intentionally stretching the truth to actually believing reality is just a bit different from what everybody else sees. While his political allegiances are easy to pin down (even people that don't know anything about his politics know him as "Nazi Bill White"), what's a little more disorienting to some are the arguments he, probably more than any other figure on the American Right, has worked to hone over the last few years, since his abandonment of the lone wolf, loose-cannon style he had staked out for himself historically, and his attempt to remake himself as some kind of external ideologue and propagandist for the neo-fascist political right wing."
