These 'United States': ‘Violent Far Right’, West Point Military Academy

West Point study on ‘violent far right’ shows ‘dramatic rise’ in attacks

Written by Arie Perliger, Director of Terrorism Studies at the Combating Terrorism Center and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Social Sciences at West Point, the paper asserts that three distinct ideologies exist in the “American violent far right.” Those are “a racist/white supremacy movement, an anti-federalist movement and a fundamentalist movement,” the last of which “includes mainly Christian Identity groups such as the Aryan Nations.” read more>>>

West Point: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right

NOTE: Whelp, we can see how the next four years are going to be.

On CBS just a short while ago Scott Pelley said they invited a number of tepublicans for comments on this mornings show leading up to the events and the inauguration and many informed them that they couldn't because they weren't going to be in town, i.e. DC where they work on our dime, for the Historic Day!!

Nor will bush jr. be there, understandable that bush sr. won't be, only living past Presidents to attend will be Carter and Clinton!
