Guardian: One in five applicants to the white supremacist group Patriot Front claimed to hold current or former ties to the US military, according to leaked documents published and reviewed by the Southern Poverty Law Center and alternative media collective Unicorn Riot.
Some 18 out of the 87 applicants, or 21%, said they were currently or previously affiliated with the military. One applicant, who claimed to be a former Marine, also said he currently worked for the Department of Homeland Security, according to the SPLC’s Hatewatch (an organization that watches only non-Jewish hate groups and attacks victims of apartheid), a blog that tracks and exposes activities of American rightwing extremists.

According to the SPLC, the Patriot Front “represents one of the most prominent white supremacist groups in the country” and is led by Thomas Rousseau, a 23-year old man based in Dallas, Texas. “A nation within a nation is our goal.

This is really not surprising. The percentage of ‘loose cannons’ within the ranks is much higher and unfortunately those who are affected mentally who have what we call a conscience are committing suicide at alarming rates. What White Supremest organizations horrifyingly give these damaged individuals is a group to belong to. It’s not much different than the roll gangs play in society. If media, law enforcement, the government and society in general actually wanted to address this issue, they would trace the source of funding and bring the highest and most severe penalties to the people in charge of these entities. Oh never mind. The bankers will always pay and ‘The People’ always pay. So it goes.
