fter Nazi white supremacist terrorist John “Rusty” Houser was killing innocent people in a Lafayette, Louisiana movie theater, white supremacists with the Stormfront hate group were calling for MORE killings – specifically targeting African-Americans. Stormfront white supremacists from Lafayette, LA and other parts of Louisiana have sought to organize “white nationalist” movements in the area.
Stormfront white supremacist member “WhiteIsRight88” wrote calling for murders against African-Americans “they should take their frustration out on negro night clubs and negro infested street corners. Those are the places that need shooting.”

This white supremacist also wrote “lets just hope and pray the individuals he killed were some negroes.” (The numbers 88 is a code in the white supremacist world symbolizes their racist support for Adolf Hitler as “Heil Hitler”.)

Another white supremacist member “beast9” wrote “If you are going to go out go out big and take dozens with you. Pick your targets well… Make it count.” He also writes “I am ready” with his gun.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has new information on the support of Confederate terrorism by Stormfront members; the Stormfront group was founded by former Confederate Alabama Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Don Black.
Members of the Confederate white supremacist Stormfront group have been praising Confederate terrorist Dylann Roof who murdered 9 people at the Emmanuel AME Church, and they now mock church burnings across the country. Terrorist Dylann Roof has had both support among members of the white supremacist community, as well as defense for his twisted ideology of racial hate among members of pro-Confederate groups such as Stormfront. Dylann Roof was known to be an active poster for the Daily Stormer website, providing streaming radio links to the Confederate white supremacist Stormfront’s radio program.

R.E.A.L has reported on the Confederate Stormfront hate group for years, including its members’ ties to terrorism in the United States of America. Many of the Stormfront members have logos with Confederate flag symbols and imagery, with some identifying their locations as within the “Confederate States of America (C.S.A.)”. Terrorists attacking the United States of America have come from within the Confederate Stormfront group, including known active Stormfront members Daniel Cowart, Wade Michael Page, and Richard Poplawski. Stormfront members have also praised a rogue’s list of terrorists attacking America, including white supremacist Paul Schlesselmann, white supremacist James Von Brunn, as well as terrorists Joseph Stack and Joseph Patrick Bedell – both of which attacked U.S. federal government buildings.
Confederate Stormfront Members Support for White Supremacist Terrorists
The increasing support for terrorist figures among members in the Confederate white supremacist group has come within the past five years. We call for the U.S. federal government to treat this growing public support for terrorism with the same attention it would give any other group with members active and promoting terrorist attacks on this nation. While the Stormfront members comments are offensive (we never mention the worst), it is important for Americans to know what values such Confederate white supremacists espouse and why we must reject their symbols of hate and racism.
Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has repeatedly reported on the history of the white supremacist, pro-Confederate Stormfront group and its support for terrorist actions against the United States of America. If such volunteer human rights activists can readily obtain such information, we urge those in our federal law enforcement and counterterrorism organizations to make statements on such support for terrorism in our country. We also urge the American and world media to identify such sources of terrorist support, and find impossible to that the world media does not have the resources to investigate and report on this human rights issue.
R.E.A.L. has reported on the history of Stormfront’s support for other terrorist individuals including Stormfront supporter Daniel Cowart, who along with fellow Confederate Paul Schlesselman attacked the Allen Baptist Church in Brownsville, Tennessee and also targeted an attack on 102 Christians in the Beech Grove Church of Christ in Tennessee, as a means of plotting mass-murder terrorism against African-American Christians. They also plotted an assassination plot against Barack Obama. As reported by CBS News, Stormfront forum writer and terrorist Daniel Cowart used the Confederate message board to get advice on guns and weapons.
R.E.A.L. has reported on Stormfront supporter and terrorist Wade Michael Page, who was not only a supporter of Stormfront, but also wore one of Stormfront’s “White Pride World Wide” shirts. Wade Michael Page committed terrorist murder of 6 Sikhs in Wisconsin. Terrorist Wade Michael Page was part of a Confederate musical band, End Apathy, which was promoted on Stormfront with Confederate imagery for performances in Richmond, Virginia and other locations in the South. His terrorist attack was repeatedlypraised by members of the Stormfront forum who applauded his terrorist act stating“finally a man whos got some nerve,” with the Stormfront editor and chief of staff defending the terrorism as “they’re asking for it” and calling for action in the “out and out war of crime being waged against us by the negroes.”
R.E.A.L has also reported on Stormfront supporter and terrorist Richard Poplawski in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who used the Stormfront forum to praise white supremacy and attack racial minorities. On Stormfront, the white supremacist terrorist also bragged and talked about his automatic weapons, which he used in an attack to murder Pittsburgh police.
Stormfront members praised terrorist James Von Brunn who attacked the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, while wearing a “Confederate soldier’s long coat cap.” The terrorist James Von Brunn murdered an African-American security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Stephen Tyrone Johns. Stormfront members praised his terrorist attack, stating “if you’re white, act white,” and calling for whites to “hate with violent passion,” and other Stormfront members stating that the “ZOG” media would lie about his terror attack, viewing the white supremacist terrorist as a “martyr.”

In addition, Stormfront members praise other terrorists in their attacks on the United States of America, as part of their Confederate hatred against America.

Once again, this provides evidence of the open and public support for terrorist attacks by members of the Confederate Stormfront organization and other white supremacist and Confederate groups. Stormfront members have even voiced support for the 9/11 terrorist attacks against America.
The history of Confederate terrorism is not new, but we have seen it continue to grow over the past 10 years, and we believe it is the responsibility of human rights activists, American patriots, United States government leaders and counter-terrorists to challenge and defy such Confederate terrorists.
After the defeat of the pro-slavery Confederate army by American patriots in 1865, the Confederate activists continued their war against American human rights through a combination of terrorist insurgent and propaganda methods. The first of the Confederate terrorists was John Wilkes Booth who assassinated U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865 at the Ford Theater. Since then, the United States has continued to face an ongoing terrorist challenge from Confederate terrorists throughout our history.
The First Confederate Terrorist Attack on America: the Assassination of President Abraham Lincoln
American patriots have challenged the Confederate terrorist organization of the Ku Klux Klan since 1865, and we continue to do so again. The United States government created the Enforcement Act of 1871 (17 Stat. 13) to address the activities of the Confederate Ku Klux Klan terrorist organization, which has continued to plague this nation. The Confederate Ku Klux Klan terrorist organization has a long history of beatings, murders, lynchings, and bombings, including killing of civil rights leaders (with the cooperation of southern law enforcement), and infamous terrorist attacks on African-American houses of worship.

The Stormfront group was created by Confederate Ku Klux Klan leader Don Black as a way to re-package the appearance of such white supremacism, and whose members have been proven to support Confederate terrorism. Stormfront lists and actively promotes such Confederate Ku Klux Klan organizations throughout the United States.

In addition, we have reported on the praise by Confederate Stormfront members in the burning of African-American Christian Churches in the United States. Stormfront members finds the burning of American churches to be a source of great amusement to them; one Stormfront member writes “Burn Baby Burn,” regarding such churches while holding a Confederate flag.
Another Stormfront member mocks the destruction of a church (allegedly by lightning) that “Lightning is an ‘Act of God’, isn’t it?’. Other Stormfront members mock the arson and burning of African-American churches stating that “Obama probably just told them to burn down their own churches so he could funnel them money.” Stormfront members glamorize a box of matches on the racist website, writing “Unless they are used to set White people on fire, then it’s not a hate crime.”
Confederate Racist Website Stormfront Posts Image of Matches Regarding African-American Churches being Burned Down – Stating “Unless they are used to set white people on fire, then it’s not a hate crime.”
The Confederate Stormfront group has been part of “white nationalist” rallies that it has in different parts of the nation, including previously in Washington DC. When Stormfront’s recruitment event for the Washington DC area was protested by the free speech of R.E.A.L. and other human rights groups, the Confederate extremist group threatened R.E.A.L.’s founder and his family. Stormfront posted images with machine guns calling attacks on those who protested the event, and other white supremacists groups threatened R.E.A.L.’s founder stating “I’d be surprised if someone didn’t decide to correct your behavior,” and that “when someone does declares war on us, it’s OK to fight back. With any and all means.”
Confederate Stormfront Group “Machine Gun” Threat at R.E.A.L.’s Free Speech to Protest White Supremacist Recruitment Meetings
Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.)’s position remains constant and consistent: we support the Universal Human Rights of all people, including all of our fellow Americans. We do not believe a human rights campaign can be limited to any one part of the world, but we believe that our shared universal human rights must be protected for all people around the world, including minorities in the United States of America.
Furthermore, we do not believe that a campaign of merely passively calling for human rights and dignity in the face of human right threats is sufficient. We believe that to be RESPONSIBLE for equality and liberty – we must be active participants in a society which works to ensure such shared human rights, including rejecting and defying the forces of any extremist group which seeks to deny and degrade the human rights of our fellow human beings. Our challenge to Confederates and white supremacy in the United States is no different than our challenge to extremists attacking human rights anywhere in the world.
R.E.A.L. calls for the American people to reject and denounce the ongoing Confederate culture of white supremacy and its history of racism, slavery, and hate. R.E.A.L. calls for the American people to denounce and end the public honoring of any symbols or monuments to a Confederate culture of white supremacy, which has as its basis the rejection of equality, liberty, our shared universal human rights, and the truths that we hold self-evident as a nation, and as a human race. In a phrase, “Take It Down.”
Such determined stance in support of our human rights and dignity, and our rejection of the forces of racial hatred and violence is the obligation of all patriotic Americans.
Our support for our universal human rights is a fundamental basis for global trust, respect, and communications among all people, not only in the United States, but also around the world. We urge our fellow Americans and all those around the world to be Responsible for Equality And Liberty.
Orange Ribbon for Universal Human Rights – Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.)
Over the past week, after the Confederate terrorist attack on the Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina, a series of predominantly African-American Christian churches have burned down. The volunteer human rights group Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) calls for U.S. Department of Justice Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey to immediately form an interstate task-force to investigate these church fires in connection with the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (18 U.S.C. § 245(b)(2)), and to use their authority to arrest the terrorists behind any arson attacks on houses of worship.
While the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) is leading this investigation from a technical perspective (identifying possible fire accelerant), we also need a coordinated, multi-region, federal law enforcement task force with a focus on Civil Rights Act crimes to play a central role in any investigation. While some of these church fires are being blamed on lightning and electrical failures, others are being viewed as deliberate arson. We believe that those familiar with Confederate terrorist tactics would recognize this as the signature of their past terrorist crimes against African-Americans.
Recent church burnings in the United States of America have included:
1. June 22, 2015 – Knoxville, Tennessee – College Hill Seventh-Day Adventist Church burned down – Cause: Arson – bags of dirt and bales of hay were left on fire outside the African-American church’s doors – and the hay was set on fire. The church van was also damaged by the fire. Status: Arson under investigation.

2. June 23, 2015 – Macon, Georgia – God’s Power Church of Christ burned down – Cause: Arson – the church was gutted by fire and destroyed. Status: Arson under investigation. While the authorities believe it was arson, WMAZ reports that “Macon-Bibb’s fire chief says he still believes that a church fire last week was not a hate crime.”

3. June 24, 2015 – Charlotte, North Carolina –Briar Creek Road Baptist Church burned down – Cause: Evidence of Arson damaging a building which housed church classrooms. Status: Arson under investigation. While the authorities believe it was arson, they state there is “no evidence of a hate crime, said Charlotte Fire Department spokeswoman Cynthia Robbins Shah-Khan.”
June 24, 2015 – Charlotte, NC – Church Fired Ruled Arson – Briar Creek Road Baptist Church
4. June 24, 2015 – Memphis, Tennessee – predominantly white American Fruitland Presbyterian Church burned down – Cause: Tennessee local law enforcement and media reporting fire may be due to lighting, with BATF calling it an “isolated incident.”

The Mount Zion AME Church which was previously burned down by members of the Confederate Ku Klux Klan terrorist group Christopher Cox and Timothy Welch in June 1995, 20 years ago, who doused the church’s pews and pulpit with accelerants before setting the century-old house of worship ablaze.

The history of white supremacist terrorism against churches and other houses of worship should deeply trouble all Americans and those concerned about such church fires. In any other nation in the world, if their were numerous cases of ARSON against a predominantly minority racial religious group in a week, after a terrorist attack on that house of worship, we would view this as an attack on our universal human rights — especially when a terrorist attacks and murders 9 people in such a house of worship the week before.
But these three recent cases of arson may be only the tip of the iceberg in terms of human rights atrocities by white supremacists and Confederates against American houses of worship. How many malicious and uncontrolled fires are we seeing at American religious institutions? The Washington Post reports statistics from the National Fire Protection Association that, “on average, between 2007 and 2011, roughly 180 intentional “not contained” fires per year — over 3 per week — spread and caused damage,” meaning they were “not contained” fires. These are deliberate acts to DESTROY houses of worship at 180 locations.
To ignore the links of terrorist individuals and groups to the destruction of these houses of worship is to ignore the obvious. Certainly, there are people who destroy houses of worship because they are deranged or for other reasons. But a deliberate attack to destroy a house of worship and terrorize a religious identity group is largely an act of terrorism. This is terrorism, regardless of your race, your religious identity, or your location in any part of the United States, and anywhere in the world. No one has a right to commit terrorism.
R.E.A.L. has previously posted about other attacks on American houses of worship, which we have seen too many times. This included attacks on houses of worship by Stormfront supporters and pro-Confederate terrorists Daniel Cowart and his partner Paul Schlesselman, who shot up the African-American Allen Baptist Church in Brownsville, Tennessee and also targeted an attack on 102 Christians in the Beech Grove Church of Christ in Tennessee; Cowart and Schesselman are currently in prison for their terrorism and terrorist plots. Stormfront members, stating they are part of the Confederate States of America (C.S.A.), defended Cowart and Schlesselman’s terrorism on churches, ending with quotes from the Confederate president Jefferson Davis, defending the cause of white supremacy. (The same Jefferson Davis you see highways named after and statutes defended in Richmond and other parts of the south.)
The pro-Confederate, white supremacist Stormfront organization (whose members havebeenrepeatedlylinkedto terrorism) finds the burning of American churches to be a source of great amusement to them; one Stormfront member mocks the destruction of a church that “Lightning is an “Act of God”, isn’t it?”. This extremist group has members who laugh about the church fires. This includes Stormfront members who mock burning of African-American churches stating that “Obama probably just told them to burn down their own churches so he could funnel them money.” Stormfront members glamorize a box of matches on the racist website, writing “Unless they are used to set White people on fire, then it’s not a hate crime.”

Why do the Confederate racists mock such African-American church fires? Because they are convinced they can get AWAY with it, right in plain view of the public, and that the federal authorities will fail to act to stop such racist terrorism. They are convinced that the police in the South are more concerned about paint on the statue of Confederate traitors Jefferson Davis or Robert E. Lee than about protecting churches attended by African-Americans. So the Confederate racists at Stormfront post photos of matches and laugh about African-American churches burning down.
Yet our federal authorities with the resources of our nation cannot find “hate crime” motives in such contempt for African-Americans and churches across this nation. They need to find the aggressive motivation and organization of those who are determined to bring this to an end, and to publicly pursue such terrorists with the same vigor that other terrorists are pursued.
We would, of course, be rightly outraged at such a human rights crisis when it happens in Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, or any nation with minority houses of worship, which are attacked by terrorist individuals and groups. Human rights activists rightly call for that nation’s government to act to stop such human rights atrocities, in defiance of our universal human rights and the ICCPR. These human rights atrocities are not just a crime in those nations, they are also against INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Certainly, this must be the case in the United States of America as well.
Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) calls for the voices of American human rights activists as well as worldwide human rights activists and the United Nations Human Rights Council for action. Given the continuing human rights violations against African-Americans in the United States of America, the failure of consistent application of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 regarding these violations, and a continuing state of intimidation against African-Americans by extremists, we call upon the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to monitor the human rights conditions in the United States of America — associated with institutional intimidation, oppression, and failure to protect houses of worship from acts of terrorism. We call upon the United Nations to monitor this human rights crisis, just as they would any other human rights crisis anywhere else in the world.
The United States government, and especially the state and local governments protecting Confederate white supremacist symbols, need to understand that, in addition to our law, there is international law and international standards, which we must abide to as global citizens.
The position of Responsible for Equality And Liberty on our shared universal human rights is that these rights must be consistent for all, everywhere, all the time. We urge an end to the hate and violence of the past. We call for patriotic Americans to defy those who seek to promote symbols of white supremacist hatred and slavery to degrade and intimidate others.
We urge the United States of America federal government to truly be aggressive and act to end these acts of racist terrorism against African-Americans and African-American churches. The promoters of white supremacist terrorism should not be able to making mocking threats with impunity. Our federal law enforcement needs to enforce the Civil Rights Act and end such threats against African-Americans and those who have fought for their freedoms.
Especially now, as we come on the eve of America’s independence day, defining values that we continue to seek, we call for American patriots to remember the words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
We need to continue to make the American idea and the words of our national declaration into a reality for all people, and be Responsible for Equality And Liberty.
Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) supports our shared universal human rights for all people, and we reject and defy the ideology of white supremacy which has been promoted by so many hate groups and terrorists.
On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof committed a terrorist attack against the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, in Charleston, South Carolina, where he murdered 9 African-American men and women during a night time Bible study. R.E.A.L. has learned that terrorist Dylann Roof was inspired and linked to white supremacist, Nazi, and Confederate websites.
Inspired by white supremacist groups, Dylann Roof left a twisted white supremacist manifesto against African-Americans, “Jewish agitation,” and other identity groups, as a “rationale” for his terrorist attack. Terrorist Dylann Roof defended Southern slavery of human beings on Confederate plantations, demeaning African-Americans as “stupid and violent,” calling for violence against African-Americans, and claiming he was taking his “fight” to Charleston in what resulted in his terrorist attack on the Emanuel AME Church, since he stated there was “no real KKK” taking violent action. The terrorist Roof continued his racist attack on Hispanics as “enemies,” and sought to “destroy the Jewish identity.”
The terrorist Dylann Roof stated in his “manifesto” that he was educated to hate African-Americans and other minorities from his contact with the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC aka CCC), which R.E.A.L. has previously reported on. The CofCC’s racist extremist views include the twisted vision that “God is the author of racism. The national CofCC group is based in St.Louis, Missouri, not far from the Ferguson atrocities against African-Americans. (Missouri leaders allied themselves with the Confederate States of America (CSA) on October 31, 1861.) The CofCC group’s founder Gordom Baum died in March 2015. The CofCC group has been led by its president Earl Holt, who provided donations to several conservative political campaigns.
Mr. Holt has declined to address the issue of the CofCC’s influence in inspiring terrorist Dylann Roof other than being “deeply saddened,” and asked a former CofCC director to be the public spokesman on this. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reported that the CofCC president made statements about taking “a large caliber handgun”… to “help mitigate violent black crime at its source…” days before the Dylann Roof terrorist attack. The SPLC states that the CofCC “has denounced Roof’s actions but stands by their statements, maintaining they mean what they say on their website.” The CofCC stated the terrorist “Roof outlines other grievances felt by many whites,” and continued “we utterly condemn Roof’s despicable killings, but they do not detract in the slightest from the legitimacy of some of the positions he has expressed. Ignoring legitimate grievances is dangerous.”
In R.E.A.L.’s activism to defy white supremacist groups, we learned that the CofCC leaders regularly worked together with their racist allies in the Stormfront organization, including CofCC members appearing on the Stormfront radio program to promote white supremacist events and to recruit for new members to the cause of racial and religious hatred. The Stormfront organization has combined the Nazi and Confederate extremists of white supremacy into a singular “supermarket of hate,” as described by CBS News. It’s members have regularly praised and supported other terrorists committing attacks on the United States, as we havedocumented.
Dylann Roof was also linked to the Nazi website, the Daily Stormer. This information has been reported by the SPLC, who identifies Roof as poster “AryanBlood1488.” The SPLC states that: “The Daily Stormer is a neo-Nazi website run by Andrew Anglin that both generates original content and aggregates articles from other white supremacist sites across the Internet. Its comment section is much less moderated than its peer sites and hosts a diverse community of white supremacists from across the extremist spectrum. In his alleged manifesto, Roof writes, ‘I mean that our culture has been adopted by everyone in the world. This makes us feel as though our culture isnt [sic] special or unique.’ In an almost verbatim statement at the Daily Stormer on January 31, 2015, ‘AryanBlood1488’ writes, ‘White culture is World Culture, and by that I don’t mean that our culture is made up of ones from around the world, I mean that our culture has been adopted by everyone in the world. This makes us feel as if it isn’t special, because everyone has adopted it.’ Notably, on another article titled ‘No Longer Posting Council of Conservative Citizens Articles’ published to the Daily Stormer on the same day, ‘AryanBlood1488’ expresses his reverence for the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), a white nationalist hate group, for ‘waking him up’ to ‘black on white crime.’ ‘I have serious, great respect for the CofCC because they are the ones who woke me up to black on white crime in the beginning,’ writes ‘AryanBlood1488.’ ‘It was the first site I went to the day that changed my life, the day I decided to type in ‘black on white crime’ into Google.’ ”
Raw Story also reported that “Roof also lived for a time in Lexington, just a few miles away, which is home to onetime Aryan Nation leader and Christian Identity pastor August Kreis – whose activity and influence has waned as a result of severe diabetes and his arrest last year on child sex abuse charges. An analysis of Roof’s writings suggests that he was an active participant in The Daily Stormer white nationalist message board.”

As the debate over the racist symbol of the Confederate flag has continued, the BreitBart news network has had increasingly antagonistic articles in defense of the Confederate flag. This has drawn the attention of recruiters from the Stormfront organization, referenced by CBS News as the “supermarket of hate,” and which regularly has supporters of racist ideologies and symbols such as Confederates, Nazis, and other whites supremacists.
Below is a screenshot from such a recruitment effort by a commenter LeeP from Stormfront, in response to a defense of the Confederate flag by Laura Ingraham , who calls for “segregation for safety”:

White supremacist Stormfront supporters continue to support and praise the August 5, 2012 terrorist killings by fellow Stormfront supporter Wade Michael Page. The ongoing rants by white supremacists debating the Page’s terrorist killings, includes further praise by a Stormfront white supremacist who called the terrorist attack as “more like an act of homeland defense,” and praised the terrorist actions as “[a] native son shot some aliens who are destroying something precious and irreplaceable.”
Regarding Wade Page’s terrorist murders, the Stormfront supporter “wunndrin” states“This one was not ‘wanton’, it was directed. And I’m glad some of this mud rabble got a report back from the White people, for that’s how they’ll see it, because they KNOW whose country this really is.” The Stormfront supporter views the killings as preceding a “large ‘SHTF race war’ or reclamation of White homelands – maybe our only chance of salvation…”

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) rejects the hate and praise of violence by the white supremacist Stormfront supporters, and urges the Stormfront members and supporters to renounce their white supremacist views and to respect the universal human rights, dignity, safety, liberty, and equality of people of all races, ethnic groups, religions, sex, sexual orientation, and other identity groups.
In College Station, Texas, near Texas A&M university, Thomas Caffall shot and killed Brazos County Constable Brian Bachmann as the contable was bringing him an eviction notice, and also killed a bystander Chris Northcliff. Thomas Caffall was also killed in the shootout. In addition, a woman bystander was injured in the shootings and is in critical condition.

Another anti-government sympathizer, Jim Quinn, wrote about Tom Ball “He argues for a complete takedown of the Federal Government and starting over from scratch. He may be an example of what is to come – people throwing themselves violently up against the system in order to bring it down.”
One of Thomas Caffall’s favorite quotes was from George Orwell “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” Caffall repeatedly included it on his Facebook page and his online postings.

**********************************
Stormfront white supremacists have used the shootings by the anti-government Thomas Caffall to further rationalize their own anti-government conspiracy theories. The White Supremacist Stormfront supporters are claiming that the killings are a government conspiracy to take guns away from whites. This is the same white supremacist Stormfront group that terrorist Wade Michael Page and other terrorist supporters have supported.
Stormfront supporter MattwhiteAmerica writes“I’m expecting that Obama is behind this…All 3 were white guys, all 3 in short order. Obama has already through fast and furious has killed 300 Mexican nationals and 2 border guards. DO NOT put this pass this sob. He is trying to force the American people to give up our gun rights.” This Stormfront supporter uses Stormfront’s logo, which was also on the shirt that Stormfront admitted selling to terrorist Wade Michael Page who killed 6 Sikhs.
Another Stormfront supporter “ItalianMan” responds, “I can absolutely see that. He will probably try to use these mass shootings/rampages as leverage to ban guns or harshly regulate them. Take the guns away, give the government more power, even a possibility of martial law. NOT a good idea. Especially when you have a country run by Zionist Jews and a negro that hates white people.”

The “European American Action Coalition” (EAAC) began promoting its Pennsylvania organization on the Stormfront web site on December 31, 2011 – nearly 8 months ago in a Stormfront area Pennsylvania “activism.” The Associated Press reports that the EAAC group leader Steve Smith was also a member of the Keystone State Skinheads, and was arrested for previous violence against black Americans: “Court records show Smith pleaded guilty in 2003 to state charges of ethnic intimidation and simple assault, both misdemeanors, and was sentenced to one to 12 months in prison. According to a 2003 newspaper account, Smith and two other members of the Keystone State Skinheads yelled racial slurs at a black man and threw a brick at him.”

On the EAAC website, the group describes Pennsylvania as ” known across the country – even the world as being an active and successful region for the pro-White cause.” Stormfront supporter and the leader of the EAAC, Steve Smith of Pittston, was elected to the Luzerne County Republican Committee representing Pittston City for a four year term.

— Pentagon Terrorist John Patrick Bedell – Stormfront supporters praised John Patrick Bedell’s terrorist efforts at the Pentagon on March 4, 2010 – wounding two police officers
— Texas Terrorist Joseph Stack – Stormfront supporters praised Joseph Stack’s terrorist attack on the Austin, Texas IRS building on February 18, 2010, killing African American Vernon Hunter, who was an IRS employee and a Vietnam veteran.
— Washington DC Terrorist James Von Brunn – attacked the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC on June 10, 2009 – in January 2010, Stormfront supporters eulogized the death of terrorist James Von Brunn who had murdered security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns – Stormfront supporters praised his terrorist attack and called for others to “to hate with violent passion”
To those who believe that Stormfront is merely a group of “harmless” extremists, the cost of being silent to those promoting dangerous hate can be the cost of lives of innocent Americans.

******************
Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) urges the Stormfront members and supporters to renounce their white supremacist views and to respect the universal human rights, dignity, safety, liberty, and equality of people of all races, ethnic groups, religions, sex, sexual orientation, and other identity groups.
The white supremacist Stormfront group admitted online on August 9, 2012 that its group was behind selling a shirt to white supremacist terrorist Wade Michael Page that promotes “white pride world wide.” Photos of Page in the shirt were previously published online.
Stormfront moderator and “chief of staff” “Jack Boot” stated in a August 9, 2012 posting on Stormfront that “I think I sold him that shirt, during our T-shirts fundraising phase.” In terms of Wade Michael Page’s involvement in posting on Stormfront, “Jack Boot” also states “Almost certainly.”

Stormfront provides an international web site to promote such white supremacist hatred not only within the United States, but also around the world.
After the August 5, 2012 murder of 6 Sikhs in Wisconsin by Stormfront supporter Wade Michael Page this same Stormfront moderator “Jack Boot” republished a post by a Stormfront supporter praising these terrorist killings, who described the murders as “finally a man who’s got some nerve… this is how points are made.”
August 5, 2012: Screen Capture of Stormfront "Hate Group" Supporters Praising Terrorist Attack in Wisconsin Against Sikh Temple -- Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) continues to challenge the views of discrimination and hatred by such Stormfront and other racial extremist, bigoted organizations, and we urge them to Choose Love, Not Hate - Love Wins.
We urge the Stormfront members and supporters to renounce their white supremacist views and to respect the universal human rights, dignity, safety, liberty, and equality of people of all races, ethnic groups, religions, sex, sexual orientation, and other identity groups.
The weak response by too many in the American media, security organizations, and even some human rights groups to the terrorist attack by a white supremacist against a Wisconsin Sikh temple on August 5 is appalling, hypocritical, and disturbing.
We must consistently support the universal human rights, respect, and security for all people of all races and religions, including their freedom of religious worship, without fear of violence. Our unyielding position on this and our unending challenge to those who would defy this must be the same for everyone in America and around the world. Sikh lives are not cheap, and no one’s life is cheap in America or anywhere in the world. All of our fellow human beings’ lives matter and are precious.
The failure to understand and grasp white racial supremacist and other racist hatred as an anti-social force for destruction and violence by too many in America today is astounding, and this must change. Many of these racial supremacists view their race as their “religion,” and their goal is to remove (by whatever means necessary) those that would stand in the way of their perfect racial supremacist society.
I remain astounded by those who focus on this latest terrorist attack on the Sikhs as one by an individual with a former military background, with a drinking problem, or with relationship problems – and diminish the white supremacist racial hatred that drove Wade Michael Page to commit his terrorist act against Sikhs in America on August 5.
Terrorist Wade Michael Page pulled the trigger, but the ammunition of hatred was provided by organizations that promote such white supremacist ideologies. One of the largest such groups, Stormfront, provide an international web site to promote such white supremacist hatred not only within the United States, but also around the world.

But when the leader of Stormfront (and a former Ku Klux Klan wizard) Don Black tells the news media that Stormfront doesn’t “condone violence,” members of media shrug their shoulders, look no further, don’t ask questions about Stormfront supporters involved in terrorism and murder, and don’t ask any questions about these numerous reports. They simply publish what he says. Furthermore, when Stormfront leader Don Black tells the media that “We think Sikhs belong back in India,” there is no challenge to his comments by the media. Stormfront brushes the media aside and goes back to their promotion of white supremacist ideology on the Internet, in meetings, and on a daily public radio show on WBPR 1340 AM.
The ammunition of the white supremacist ideology of hate is used by those who commit white supremacist terrorism. We have seen this again in Wisconsin this week in America, and it must be a wake up call for Americans. We must the challenge the ideology of white supremacism, just like we challenge every other ideology that seeks to deny the human rights and dignity of our fellow human beings.
Too many Americans cannot recognize the terrorist threat of white supremacist racial hate. White supremacist racial hatred and its violent terrorism has roots in historical hate against non-white and other minority citizens, which remains a historical stain Americans must continue to work to challenge. When I was a boy, there were parts of America where businesses would only serve “White Clientele Only.” America has changed, but we must continue to challenge white supremacist hate. We continue to see those promoting and exploiting historical divisions in our nation. One of the other groups that white supremacist terrorist Wade Michael Page was involved with was the Confederate Hammerskins group.
Racial extremist groups reject equal rights and dignity for all of our citizens. But we must be one nation, indivisible, with liberty, justice, and equality for all Americans – of every race and every identity group.
If we demand other nations to challenge their extremist ideologies and groups, we must also set the standard in challenging extremist ideologies and groups in our nation as well.
If these were extremist organizations with Muslims involved, let us be very candid, we would see a very different reaction by the media, security organizations, and others. If there was such a centralized organization here in the United States, which was holding a daily radio broadcast to promote such extremist views used by terrorists, there would be a hue and cry among the public, calls for challenging those promoting extremist views of hate, and a demand for accountability.
But when it comes to racist terrorism, too many shrug their shoulders. They ask “what can I do?” “Why should I be concerned?” “Isn’t this only a few individuals?” Will they be just as placid about this if the terrorist attack comes from extremists in another identity group? I think we all know the answer to this. We must not be hypocrites in our nation or around the world.
The argument that we should not “give attention” to people such as white supremacist terrorist Wade Michael Page is overshadowed by the larger societal need to educate people in our society about the challenges of white supremacism and other racist views. Our society needs to continue to be educated as to the threats such groups represent to human rights and lives of our fellow Americans and our fellow human beings.
Others have told the media that we should not be concerned about the events of white supremacist group events recruiting others to spread hate, stating that these events are just for them “to get together, drink Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, fight, listen to music, that sort of stuff.” But we have seen first-hand their efforts to make new recruits to their army of white supremacism to spread the disease of this hate throughout our nation. We must acknowledge and challenge the threat of white supremacist hatred.
Most disturbingly, many have written about how they STRUGGLED to imagine what the possible MOTIVATION would be for a white supremacist terrorist to kill people predominantly of a different ethnic group. Today, the Associated Press published an article, reporting comments from law enforcement that we might never “know” the motivation of white supremacist terrorist Wade Michael Page to kill people who look different, have a different religion, or those who have different skin color. We have heard this repeatedly by too many. They can’t possibly imagine why this white supremacist thinks this way. Certainly, this naive attitude has some positive aspects in that the view of race as a rationale for violence has grown even more nonsensical than it once was.
But our defense of law and order, consistent human rights, and equal rights for people of all races, religions, sex, ethnicity, national origin, and other identify groups – cannot simply be built on naivety and ignorance of the challenges we continue to face in our society and our world.
We honor innocence, but to be fully responsible for equality and liberty we also need some understanding of world we live in, so that we can continue to grow and build as a society.
Every day at 9 AM, the leaders of Stormfront will go on the West Palm Beach WBPR radio station 1340 AM to promote their views and spread their ideology of white supremacism. The radio station appreciates Stormfront’s business and welcomes the listeners. Our freedom of speech allows Stormfront leaders to spread their message of white supremacist hatred.
By let us not forget that our freedom of speech also empowers us as well. We too have a right and a RESPONSIBILITY to speak out, educate others, and challenge those promoting the ideologies that reject such universal human rights, dignity, and safety for our fellow human beings.
While there may not be a challenge from the media, those promoting hate must know they will be challenged by those of us Responsible for Equality And Liberty – for everyone, around the world.
One final personal note to my Christian brothers and sisters, it is a deep shame that some in these white supremacist groups, such as Stormfront, use a Celtic cross in their campaigns. While some non-Christians have sought to redefine the Celtic cross, any Christian symbol, words, or trappings used to reject equality, dignity, and safety for our fellow human beings, is also a rejection of Christianity as well. In America, we have seen those that promote racial hatred continue to use such symbols, as well as promotion on Stormfront by those racist groups holding “cross burnings” (what they call “cross lighting”) in our nation. I urge Christians in America and around the world to not let the cross and symbols of Christianity be used to promote racial or other hatred by those who would spread lies about the Christian faith. I urge Christians in America and around the world to challenge those who would use such Christian symbols to denigrate and demean others, and I urge them to use their Christian lives to demonstrate their commitment to respect, humility, and love for one another.
