The Gulf War encouraged the Identity adherents in Christian Patriot groups to peddle antisemitic conspiracist theories about Jewish power behind U.S. military involvement. An example was the forty-page newsprint tabloid booklet by Nord Davis, Jr., Desert Shield and the New World Order, published in 1990 by his Northpoint Tactical Teams.

Other preexisting Christian Patriot groups quickly reached out to the emerging militia movement with similar propaganda materials. For instance, the Tennessee-based Christian Civil Liberties Association published The Militia News, ostensibly a newspaper but actually a catalog of books and other educational resources including guides on how to evade government tracking and surveillance. The opening article, "U.S. Government Initiates Open Warfare Against American People," was a good example of antisemitic Christian Patriot dogma:

===Following the turn of the 20th century, Communism (the Judeo-Bolsheviks of Russia) and other diabolical movements and philosophies--Fabian socialism, materialism, atheism, and secular humanism--would, like malignant parasites, establish themselves in America. Even our presidents, beginning with Franklin Roosevelt, would begin using the resources of this nation to finance and support our foreign enemies, particularly the Communist and Zionist movements.

The article railed against what the author saw as the unconstitutional attack on states’ rights by "Court mandated integration and forced busing" in the 1960s and the "systematic de-Christianization of the nation." Warning that this was part of a "satanic conspiracy," the author advised that, for the government to succeed, "the globalists must outlaw and confiscate" firearms.

===Every gun owner who is the least bit informed knows that those who are behind this conspiracy--who now have their people well placed in political office, in the courts, in the media, and in the schools, are working for the total disarming of the American people and the surrender of our nation and its sovereignty....The time is at hand when men and women must decide whether they are on the side of freedom and justice, the American republic, and Almighty God; or if they are on the side of tyranny and oppression, the New World Order, and Satan.

Timothy McVeigh, who had moved from conspiracist antigovernment beliefs into militant neonazi ideology, blew up the Oklahoma City federal building on April 19, 1995--the anniversary of the Waco conflagration--to protest government abuse of power that he, and others, believed was but the prelude to a tyrannical New World Order. It is likely that McVeigh hoped that his act of terrorism might push the more defensive and less ideological militias into a more racialized and militant insurgency. Instead, many militia members were shocked by the carnage.

McVeigh’s act of terrorism mirrored a similar scenario in William Pierce’s The Turner Diaries, which McVeigh distributed to friends. Pierce at one point in the novel describes in detail the bombing of a federal building. The novel invokes as its central apocalyptic theme the cleansing nature of ritual violence--a theme reminiscent of German Nazi ideology, which also sought a millenarian Thousand Year Reich.

McVeigh’s apparently secular concern that during the Gulf War the government had implanted a microchip into his body echoes familiar repeated concerns among fundamentalist Christians over the years that the Mark of the Beast might be hidden in electronic devices.

Pat Robertson, of course, is one of the biggest proponents of the "New World Order" conspiracy. And presidential candidate Ron Paul recently said that Bush senior was working for the NWO (referencing the same comment that made Tim McVeigh believe Bush senior was working for the NWO)

someone can google around to find it, but Malkin has tried in the past to revise the history of the Oklahoma City bombing to link it to Islamic terrorism.

To be fair, that's Frank Gaffney spreading the conspiracy, and Neiwert does not mention Malkin in the post. Still, I'm pretty sure I remember her speculating along those lines before.

For a country that has been primed to view Muslims, including American Muslims, as a mortal threat, and which has come to embrace policies of torture and arbitrary, indefinite detention as ordinary and normal -- really to lose any moral or political limits of any kind -- another terrorist attack or even general instability can easily generate all sorts of excesses, as can a new president who campaigns on an ethos of eroding still further our moral and legal limits. Exactly that has happened many times in the history of our country alone. The mix of mindless anti-Muslim hysteria and an open embrace of torture and limitless detention is truly toxic, and yet that has become the central, defining trait of the base of the Republican Party

The President just issues a directive that says in the event of a catastrophic emergency he becomes head of the federal gov't. Considering the Yoo theory of a unitary executive already sounds like that makes him an emperor, and considering the above passage, perhpas we might also remember that Halliburton already has contingency contracts to build "detention centers" in the case of a declared emergency.
