Revenge of the angry white male

Older, white males in the U.S. are angry and scared. They are slowly losing their grip on power, losing their status as a "majority." Blacks and latinos are occupying the most powerful positions in the land, their economic ideals based upon "fair" market competition have been discredited, and American culture is changing on them as more and more sub-cultures get assimilated.

These guys aren't going to get any less angry or scared any time soon. I think we can expect to see more attacks like this, more racist and anti-semetic screeds raised to the level of public consciousness.

Since the days of LBJ, the Republican Party has been the haven for racists and other fools. It seems as though that is all that is left of the GOP, as it collapses on itself and supernovas into an explosion of pure rage.

Why Are We Being Subjected to Page-After-Page of This Nonsense?

He's an anti-semitic psychotic. Do we really need to proliferate this paranoid shite?

Thank you for the extensive republication

Can we print more of this here? I would also ask the editors here to seriously consider giving Von Brunn an opportunity to speak directly to your readership. Thank you again.

Ray Lopez sees it for what it is --

And he's in good company -- and why are we seeing so mnay examples of this pathology these days?

Wm Burroughs, reporting on the 1968 Chicago Convention, the televised time when the police ran amok beating demonstrators, the event that was characterized as "a police riot," Burroughs said it this way:

“And what is the phantom fuzz screaming from Chicago to Berlin, from Mexico

City to Paris? ‘We are REAL REAL REAL!!! as this NIGHTSTICK!’ as they feel,in

their dim animal way, that reality is slipping away from them… the police

might be screaming ‘We are REAL REAL REAL,’ but it’s the desperate cry of a

dying ghost”

what percent of the US population is composed of older white males engaged in political killings?

2/300,000,000 = 0.000000006 percent

somewhat higher if you include Cheney.

Page 160 opened a new door...

Thank you for publishing this fascinating interpretation of the events that led up to WW2. I've always wondered how 20 million Germans could justify "colonizing" one element of their population to the extent that it was nearly eliminated. Page 160 of "Kill the Best Gentiles" is one answer to my question and "almost" enough to entice me into spending the $10 to download the rest-- just to see what how the mindset was manipulated. But then, I've had more than enough of Karl Rove's propaganda machine to last a lifetime.

Never Again.

His Own Worst Enemy

I'm not a holocaust denier by no means but out of all of the millions of people who died violently as a result of WWII how come the Jews are the only ones who have gained the limelight of sympathy? At least as many Russians died. Many polish Christians died on and on. Then I have read about an almost unheard holocaust in India where in the mid-late 1800s the British caused the death of anywhere from 10 to 25 million Indians. None of these people have museums or any memorials to remember and honor them in Washington DC. The same goes for the American Indian; how many untold millions died from that holocaust?

Also the Jews for the most part were and are not the cause of the evil doings this deranged person had the problem with. You cannot blame a whole people for the workings of a small sub sect, which is often known as Zionists. Many Jews in Israel protested the most recent Gaza battle where the Zionists both of the US and Israel were making millions from the phosphorous bombs, cluster bombs and on and on. It is also true that many Zionists profited greatly from WWII. There were many Zionists on the Federal Reserve Board in the 1930's and '40's and many more in the weapons industry. Aslo a quote for history "As a result, the Hitler government vigorously supported Zionism and Jewish emigration to Palestine from 1933 until 1940-1941, when the Second World War prevented extensive collaboration." So I don't think the American elitist Zionist Jews did enough to save their brethrenbefore and during WWII because they were busy making too much money. So it is wrong to blame the Jews but right to blame bankers and war profiteers many who are Zionists.

So this shooter has done exactly opposite of what he should have done to help support his stand. His pitiful life choice of violence toward innocent people rather than singling out the war profiteering Zionists who are responsible for keeping wars going because they make a filthy bloody profit is a step backward which will alienate many that would possibly have aligned with his cause.

I know what I have just said has a potential of making people mad but if you follow the money made from war I am not that far off. I feel bad for the man who got shot and for his family. It is very sad. I have very good African American friends and relatives. I think Russ Feingold and Ruth Ginsburg are among the best public servants this nation has ever seen and they has stood time and time again for the rights of all people. It is so sad that when people of all color are finally getting together and understanding where the profits of war are going that somebody has to wreck our multi-cultural interracial efforts toward peace with such a terrible hate crime. We will not let this stop us.

Antizemitism

AtLiberty is a prime example of the "missing link" between classical antisemitism, and the more "acceptable," modern antisemitism which masquerades as anti-Zionism.

I call it antizemitism.

@Jonathan

Yup, pretty classic. "I don't have any problem with Jews, it's the, uh, Zionists I hate."

He kind of gives it away when he mentions all those darn Zionists on the Federal Reserve Board.
