Which groups contribute most to the tip of the iceberg, and which are closer to its base? The findings show that the KKK (and on some level anti-abortionists), with its current informal and fragmented structure and low level of operational sophistication, is the formal movement that is closest to the base of the iceberg (and may be the first station for those joining the “formal” American far right). The higher one “climbs” to the top of the iceberg, the more lethal the group’s attacks and the smaller they are in volume. Therefore, following the KKK, the order can be ranked as follows from least to most lethal: skinheads, militias, neo-Nazi groups and finally attacks perpetrated by individuals or groups affiliated with the Christian identity movement. To illustrate, while Christian identity elements perpetrated “just” 66 attacks in the last 22 years, their attacks generated close to three victims per attack on average. The skinheads, which are part of the racist trend, were responsible for more than 200 attacks, but averaged close to one victim per attack.

Christians, conservatives, the KKK and skinheads all tied together as a giant lurking iceberg. How convenient and right out of the Joseph Goebbels School of Propoganda.

The crazy thing is that Goebbels learned from an American progressive Jew named Edward Bernays who wrote "Crystallizing public Opinion". Bernays was just a PR man who worked for both Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge. Bernays can also be credited for convincing Americans to eat bacon and women smoking.

Karl von Wiegand, foreign correspondent of the Hearst newspapers, an old hand at interpreting Europe and just returned from Germany, was telling us about Goebbels and his propaganda plans to consolidate Nazi power. Goebbels had shown Wiegand his propaganda library, the best Wiegand had ever seen. Goebbels, said Wiegand, was using my book Crystallizing Public Opinion as a basis for his destructive campaign against the Jews of Germany. This shocked me. ... Obviously the attack on the Jews of Germany was no emotional outburst of the Nazis, but a deliberate, planned campaign.

Well said! However government forces simply lack the sheer & unified manpower to enforce thought control against the populace; they will have to rely on snitches just like the Nazis & KGB. By the way, how many here have never glanced about or over your shoulder before saying something deemed “politically incorrect”?

But.....if they have snitches, we have `a rifle behind every blade of grass’. If the Third Reich or the Soviet Union hadn’t had gun registration, being a secret policeman would have been far more dangerous than being in open combat.

Wanna give a liberal nightmares? Send him/her/it a Cabela’s or Cheaper Than Dirt catalogue. Or better yet, keep them both & order something!

Exactly.
