Plot to Assassinate Obama? White Supremacists are Worried
As news of a against Sen. Barack Obama broke on Monday and Tuesday, white supremacists reacted overwhelmingly with suspicion that they were being set up by the federal government to take the fall.
Reports from Denver indicate that the three men arrested in the supposed plot on Sunday 鈥 Tharin Gartrell, Nathan D. Johnson and Shawn Adolf 鈥 may have been linked to a 鈥渨hite supremacy group,鈥 possibly racist skinheads. One of the men was reportedly wearing a swastika ring when arrested, and one was said to be linked to a motorcycle gang called the Sons of Silence. The 澳彩开奖 has no evidence linking the gang or any of the three men to white supremacism.
鈥淪eems more like an attempt by ZOG to assassinate us,鈥 wrote 鈥淒Aglaff Wolfing鈥 on Stormfront.org, the most important white supremacist Web forum, referring to the 鈥淶ionist Occupation Government鈥 鈥 white supremacist lingo for the federal government. Added 鈥淩avening Wolf鈥 in the same thread: 鈥淚t wouldn鈥檛 surprise me if these people are jews [sic], or dumb patsies, involved in yet another false-flag Mossad operation 鈥 in order to conjure up yet more anti-gun legislation.鈥
鈥淚 completely predicted that they would do this,鈥 鈥淎ZDane鈥 wrote on Stormfront. 鈥淚f Obama IS assassinated, it will be the gov鈥檛 doing it and we鈥檒l take the blame. Like always.鈥
Many of those posting derided those arrested because police also found quantities of methamphetamine. (鈥淏esides,鈥 wrote one, 鈥渞eal white men wouldn鈥檛 have been stopped from completing their mission, whatever it may be. These people were fools.鈥) But they kept coming back to the idea of a government plot.
鈥淚t sounds like concocted BS,鈥 wrote 鈥淕eneral1812.鈥 鈥淪eriously, plots that are this serious don鈥檛 come to the surface so easily. The government law enforcement [agencies] may be expecting Obama to win, and so are getting ready to conduct a preemptive strike against WNist [white nationalist] organizations.鈥
Or, as 鈥淎lida302鈥 put it in the Stormfront thread: 鈥淪ound like a bunch of wannabe small timers to me. They need to make sure that [Obama鈥檚] black ass is protected. His death would bring down a s**tstorm of hell upon all of us.鈥
Earlier, long before the Democratic convention opened in Denver, many white supremacists that an Obama victory could actually be good for their movement. They predicted that such a victory would shock white Americans, drive millions of them into white supremacist groups and, ultimately, lead to a race war that would finally result in the much hoped-for final Aryan victory.
