Yeah, love the T Shirt.

Duo Considered the Olsen Twins of the White Nationalist Movement
Oct. 20, 2005 — Thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede have one album out, another on the way, a music video, and lots of fans.
They may remind you another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate.
Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine.
"We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."
Lynx and Lamb have been nurtured on racist beliefs since birth by their mother April. "They need to have the background to understand why certain things are happening," said April, a stay-at-home mom who no longer lives with the twins' father. "I'm going to give them, give them my opinion just like any, any parent would."
April home-schools the girls, teaching them her own unique perspective on everything from current to historical events. In addition, April's father surrounds the family with symbols of his beliefs — specifically the Nazi swastika. It appears on his belt buckle, on the side of his pick-up truck and he's even registered it as his cattle brand with the Bureau of Livestock Identification.
"Because it's provocative," explains April of the cattle brand, "to him he thinks it's important as a symbol of freedom of speech that he can use it as his cattle brand."
Teaching Hate
Songs like "Sacrifice" — a tribute to Nazi Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy Fuhrer — clearly show the effect of the girls' upbringing. The lyrics praise Hess as a "man of peace who wouldn't give up."
"It really breaks my heart to see those two girls spewing out that kind of garbage," said Ted Shaw, civil rights advocate and president of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund — though Shaw points out that the girls aren't espousing their own opinions but ones they're being taught.
On that point, April Gaede and Ted Shaw apparently agree.
"Well, all children pretty much espouse their parents' attitudes," she said. "We're white nationalists and of course that's a part of our life and I'm going to share that part of my life with my children."
Since they began singing, the girls have become such a force in the white nationalist movement, that David Duke — the former presidential candidate, one-time Ku-Klux-Klan grand wizard and outspoken white supremacist — uses the twins to draw a crowd.
Prussian Blue supporter Erich Gliebe, operator of one of the nation's most notorious hate music labels, Resistance Records, hopes younger performers like Lynx and Lamb will help expand the base of the White Nationalist cause.
"Eleven and 12 years old," he said, "I think that's the perfect age to start grooming kids and instill in them a strong racial identity."
Gliebe, who targets young, mainstream white rockers at music festivals like this past summer's "Ozzfest," says he uses music to get his message out.
But with names like Blue-Eyed Devils and Angry Aryans, these tunes are far more extreme than the ones sung by Lamb and Lynx.
"We give them a CD, we give them something as simple as a stick, they can go to our Web site and see other music and download some of our music," said Gliebe. "To me, that's the best propaganda tool for our youth."
A Taste for Hate
Gliebe says he hopes that as younger racist listeners mature, so will their tastes for harder, angrier music like that of Shawn Sugg of Max Resist.
One of Sugg's songs is a fantasy piece about a possible future racial war that goes: "Let the cities burn, let the streets run red, if you ain't white you'll be dead."
"I'd like to compare it to gangsta rap," explained Sugg, "where they glorify, you know, shooting n****** and pimping whores."
Sugg shrugs off criticism that music like his should not be handed out to schoolyard children, arguing that "it's just music, it's not like you're handing out AK-47s."
Perhaps not, but Shaw says it's the ideas in the music that are dangerous.
"When you talk about people being dead if they're not white," said Shaw, "I don't think there is much question that that is hateful."
A Place to Call Home
Despite the success of Prussian Blue and bands like Max Resist within the White Nationalism movement, most Americans don't accept their racist message.
Like many children across the country, Lamb and Lynx decided to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina — the white ones.
The girls' donations were handed out by a White Nationalist organization who also left a pamphlet promoting their group and beliefs — some of the intended recipients were more than a little displeased.
After a day of trying, the supplies ended up with few takers, dumped at a local shop that sells Confederate memorabilia.
Last month, the girls were scheduled to perform at the local county fair in their hometown. But when some people in the community protested, Prussian Blue was removed from the line-up.
But even before that, April had decided that Bakersfield was not "white" enough, so she sold her home, and hopes that she and the girls can find an all-white community in the Pacific Northwest.
And? It doesn't negate the moronish parental influences that have reared these two. Two wrongs.....don't ethically make a positive.
No one from the government is curtailing their right to free speech.
There is good news, however. We now know who the idiots are. We can immediately discount their opinions as the rantings of disgruntled racists. There is something to be said for litmus tests.
I saw this documentary. The anchor lady tried to show a parent brainwashing her kids. I couldn't see the difference in publick skools and their activist agenda.
No difference here between this family and the project heifers on the dole generation after generation.
No difference between the NAACP and KKK. The filth from Sharpton, Jackson and Farse-akhani is the same as this parent but because this mother is white she is the one villified.
I dare the media to start villifying the likes of the aforemention dark lords.
There is good news, however. We now know who the idiots are.
This said by the person who believes Bill Clinton over Juanita Broaddrick.

LMFAO!!!
I just spewed iced tea all over my keyboard.
Hey Mr. Ted Shaw! Pot meet Kettle!
There is absolutely nothing racist about the above statement, and you sir are out of line here for insinuating that there is.
What I see is nothing more than an innocuous declaration of pride.
I see a lot of comments that go like: 'This is sick but rappers...'
Screw the 'but'. This is sick. No if, ands or buts.
I hate nazis, white supremicists, white nationalists. They are pure and simple scum.
..........................................
We don't want racists here.
You did see the happy-face Hitler on the twins' t-shirts, right?
Umm, no but they do kinda look like the famous ACTORS, the Olsen twins.
Yeah, love the T Shirt.
The other side of the story, aside from the Nazi crap, is that there is such a blatant double standard when discussing racial issues. As repugnant as racism is, it is wrong to say that anyone promoting 'white power' and the white race is evil and ignorant, while the many openly promoting 'black power' and the black race are accepted.
Racism in all its forms should be rejected. Romantic notions of Nazi ambitions should be rejected. The entire spectrum from the Aryan Nation to the Millions More March should be soundly rejected.
Until Kanye West, Randall Robinson, Jesse Jackson, Kamau Kambon and most of the NAACP are tarred and feathered, I see no reason to tar and feather these two girls for saying basically the same things. Racism breeds racism, and continued toleration of racism on one side breeds increased racism on the other side.
Such a shame, what these girls were raised on. I fully blame the parents, and hopefully they can realize the errors of their parents beliefs sooner rather than later.
It's neither accepted nor promoted by this black man.

This is probably true. The girls fortunately have no talent.
