"Fertile Ground": White Nationalists Organize Within Tea Party

Addressing a rally in April 2011, white nationalist lawyer William Johnson lamented the media scrutiny he drew with his recent failed campaign for a judgeship in California.

"Ron Paul endorsed me for Superior Court judge, and I was on my way," Johnson said. "No sooner than I'd put my hat in the ring than ... it came out that Johnson is a white nationalist, that Johnson wants to create a separate white ethno-state, that Johnson supports the 14 words of David Lane, that 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,' and the media went wild with all of that, and Ron Paul withdrew his endorsement of me...because he did not believe in a separate white ethno-state and he didn't know that I did." 

A white ethno-state? The 14 words?

Johnson sounded like he was at a neo-Nazi conference,  as in 1986 when he addressed the Aryan Nations World Congress. But the banner hanging over the stage was not a Swastika flag. It read: "Tax Day Tea Party."

The April 16 rally in San Juan Capistrano, California, corresponded with more than 100 Tea Party rallies scheduled across the country for that Saturday. It was promoted on the website of Tea Party.org, also known as 1776 Tea Party, one of six well-established Tea Party umbrella groups. Its true organizers, however, were from American Third Position, or A3P, a white nationalist political party founded by racist skinheads. A3P did not respond to repeated inquiries for this article. Neither did 1776 Tea Party.

1. And honestly, that's what the Tea Party movement has always been about.

U.S. Moves Closer to Minority Majority

By Conor Dougherty


Cities and their surrounding suburbs are ground zero for the country’s changing racial and ethnic composition, with just a handful of metropolitan areas driving the nation’s demographic destiny, according to this report released today by demographer William Frey of the Brookings Institution.

The U.S. has long been on its way toward becoming what demographers call a “majority minority” country — where whites of European ancestry make up less than 50% of the population. Between 2000 and 2010, minorities accounted for 98% of the population growth in large metropolitan areas. This rapid expansion has caused big shifts in racial composition: Between 1990 and 2010, the share of the white population in big metropolitan areas fell to 57% from 71%.

But virtually all of that shift has taken place in big metro areas, according Mr. Frey’s report. Growth in Hispanic and Asian populations — which together accounted for 60% of population growth over the decade — was especially concentrated. .........(more)

3. Exactly. now they are finally admitting it.

From day one the teabaggers problem was that they couldn't handle the fact that there's a black man in the WH and he's not the butler.

[Mugweed]

5. They're not all white supremists are they?

I though many of them were just dumbshits who are easily manipulated by the racist, corporatist fucks at the top. Pardon my language but there are no polite terms for these turds.

[marmar]

6. Individuals aren't. But the impetus behind the movement, to me anyway......

...... has been insecurity over white identity in America.

[Mugweed]

7. Those poor souls...

It must be frightening to feel that....oh, fuck it. Fuck them!

[SpiralHawk]

2. Ugly roots

fugly fruits

[durablend]

4. So when do they bring out the white sheets and hoods?

Still too early for that?

[hobbit709]

8. As a friend of mine said about 35 years ago.

Wearing those sheets and carrying torches, you make such nice neat targets in the dark.

[KamaAina]

17. From "Fried Green Tomatoes":

"They go to all that trouble to hide underneath those hoods, and then they don't even bother to change their shoes!"

[OHdem10]

9. The fear of minorties outnumbering Anglos is at the very core

of Tea Party.

[Dragonfli]

10. The White Supremacists are extremely dangerous groups of terrorists and have found fertile ground

They will use the conservative's so called "tea party" for their own ends and grow even more organized even as they take it over from the GOP money men that created it for a different purpose.

I often wonder if the FBI or Homeland Security will ever stop pretending that they are not lone gunman and admit they are terrorist groups that are a hundred times more dangerous within our border than any foreign terrorist groups that organize against us.

They need to be dealt with before they become too powerful a force to stop without militarizing our country (once that happens there will be no more Democracy, military regimes never give up power once the crisis is over), or maybe that is what they are being ignored and cultivated for?

12. Good points all. At the risk of triggering Godwin's Law, I would

direct interested parties to study the formation and early years of the NSDAP in Weimar Germany for hints as to how this Tea Party thing could ultimately go down. The big German industrialists, Junkers and old-line conservatives always thought, until it was too late, that they could 'control' Hitler and use him for their own purposes.

[AverageJoe90]

15. True. Just one thing, though.

The industrialists & perhaps even some of the Junkers were still with Hitler, it just morphed into more like a partnership than a controlling interest(with certain useful idiots & total crooks here in the States backing him as well, at least indirectly so, as in the case of Henry Ford, who fit mostly into the former category but didn't mind playing both sides for insane profits.).

[AverageJoe90]

14. Yep. but.............

Although the honest truth is, the white supremacists & the actual radical Islamists aren't such big enemies. In fact, their alliances go as far back as the original Nazis & the slimebag known as the Grand Mufti!

[Dragonfli]

16. don't think I follow you, my understanding is that radical Islam is centered around a false

interpretation of the Muslim religion whereas the white supremacists are driven by fear and hatred of those racially different than themselves (I have even read some of their literature that appears to confuse the races with different species one of which is superior to others, the Aryan "species" being the only one to have evolved).

I do not know the example you referenced and can only conclude what you are talking about may have been a political alliance peculiar to the time and some national goal rather than indicative of anything that would apply to American supremacy groups.

Do you have a link so that I can understand better the alliance you refer to?

[AverageJoe90]

18. Dave Emory had some pretty decent stuff on his website.......

Unfortunately, I don't have the individual information with me, so I'll just have to show you his site:

22. Thank You /nt

[Javaman]

11. You mean they weren't the tea baggers founders?

could have surprised me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. The Teabaggers started as Xenophobes guarding the Arizona border while flying the Confederate Flag!

They aren't fooling anyone. They are a racist political party and need to be STOPPED.

[spanone]

19. the teaparty is a normalization of racism....and all the shit it implies.

[dembotoz]

20. duh

and who is surprised???????

[hifiguy]

21. The teatalitarians are just the same old

collection of Birchers, white racists/supremacists, paranoids, religulous kooks/full-mooners and mouth breathing knuckle-dragging troglodytes with seven toes on each foot that has always comprised this nation's sorry extreme right. Except now the billionaires are behind them and they have a gigantic budget and a megaphone to match. The echoes of late 1920s Germany are distant, but getting louder each day.
