DHS Memo Suggests Shooter May Be Linked To Racist Organization
Fox News ^ | January 09, 2011 | Jennifer Griffin

Posted on 01/09/2011 7:56:53 AM PST by winoneforthegipper

According to a memo obtained by Fox News with information compiled by the Department of Homeland Security and released to state law enforcement officials, Jared Loughner, the alleged shooter of Congressman Gabrielle Giffords, may have been influenced by a pro-white racist organization that publishes an anti-immigration newsletter.

No direct connection, but strong suspicion is being direceted at American Renaissance, an organization that Loughner mentioned in some of his internet postings and federal law enforcement officials are investigating Loughner's possible links to the organization. The organization is a monthly publication that promotes a variety of white racial positions.

Further, the suspect's mother works for the Pime County Board of Supervisors.

It was confirmed yesterday that this idiot is a member of a white racist organization.

It’s called the Democrat party.

Oh no, the race card this early???

Well, the Palin card failed, and the Tea Party card isn't sticking. The only thing sticking so far is that this guy's been reading all the right manuals to become a progressive and they want to deflect attention from that fact.

Figues that the pro-Hispanic KKK types will try to blame the shootings on some “white/anti-Immigrant” group.

Loughner was a liberal...and it is time for liberals to accept it

Personally, I think it is the Anti NASA rants that are the key.

Anti Immigration would not make him want to kill Gifford.

Anti Christian would not make him want to kill Gifford

The Judge couldn’t have been the target because he just happened to be there.

I think it has something to do with his beliefs about Aliens and NASA.

Perhaps he saw Gifford and her husband as part of the conspiracy to bring Aliens to the earth or some other wild thing that was in his head. Perhaps the accomplice set him off ..for whatever reason ..or because he was also crazy and thought aliens were causing all of these freak bird/fish stories of late.

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread648543/pg8

from a poster:


“That is the exact theory I have been thinking about. Ridicule me if you want, but at least humor me and open your minds on this one. Here goes:

This guy is talking about a new bird on his right shoulder. At NASA, either the mission patch or the NASA logo patch is worn on the right shoulder. Then he goes on to say, “there’s no feathers, but small grey scales all over the body.

Now, to the meat and potatoes of my conspiracy theory.

Her husband, Mark Kelly, an astronaut, will be the commander of STS-134 Endeavour. Prior to this upcoming mission, the last for the shuttle, he was commander of STS-124 Discovery, the same mission that the camera operator on board the shuttle filmed a UFO near the ISS.

Further, we all know that Rep. Giffords has a seat on the Science and Technology Committee, where she served as chairwoman of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee.

Let’s focus now on the part where Loughner states, “it’s with one red eye with a light blue iris. I now give you the NASA Orion patch:

Note the red “eye” with the blue iris.

And then there is the whole, “you shouldn’t be afraid of the stars.” Many NASA references in my opinion.

Is it possible that Rep. Giffords got just a little bit too much info from her astronaut husband about exactly what was filmed during STS-124, or exactly why NASA is so interested in returning to the moon?

Could this guy have been nothing more than a brainwashed assassin?

It’s far fetched, I know. “


DHS needs to look at Alien and Anti Nasa part of this story instead of trying to link him to the tea Party.

In 1980 and 1981, before and after Ronald Reagan was elected, he was viciously reviled in the press. Polite liberals would call him an “amiable dunce” or a advocate of “voodoo economics”, but more often was demonized as “a dangerous rightwing conservative” and “a war monger”.

On March 30, 1981, a lunatic named John Hinckley, Jr. shot President Reagan in an assassination attempt.

I don’t recall any Republicans or conservatives blaming the assassination on the exercise of the free speech right to criticize political opponents, or calling out the leftwing media to tone down their rhetoric.

Someone posted on ATS that Loughner was suspended from College until he got a psych evaluation because of his acting like a lunatic in class.

Not sure where they got that info...maybe made it up.

I wonder if DHS knows our president is a member of radical, racist belief system?


For 20+ years!!

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

"The Justice Department originally brought the case against four armed men who witnesses say derided voters with catcalls of "white devil" and "cracker" and told voters they should prepare to be "ruled by the black man." ..."

One poll watcher called police after he reportedly saw one of the men brandishing a nightstick to threaten voters.

As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each other,” the witness told Fox News at the time. “So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers. They said they’d been here for about an hour. And they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what.”

He said the man with a nightstick told him, “’We’re tired of white supremacy,’ and he starts tapping the nightstick in his hand. At which point I said, ‘OK, we’re not going to get in a fistfight right here,’ and I called the police.”...”

Unabomber essay urges attacks on 'techno-industrial system'
July 27, 2002 | By Dan Eggen, Dominic Gates, Washington Post

In an article published this spring by Green Anarchy, a radical environmental newsletter, [unabomber Ted] Kaczynski calls on revolutionaries to "eliminate the entire techno-industrial system" by "hitting where it hurts" and disparages the activities of most radicals as "pointless."

From the Wall Street Journal
NOVEMBER 24, 2007

Oswald was a dedicated communist who had defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 out of disgust with American capitalism. After becoming disillusioned with Soviet life, he returned to the U.S. in 1962. In early 1963, he bought a scoped rifle through the mail and soon used it to fire a shot (which missed) at retired general Edwin Walker, the head of the John Birch Society in Dallas. In the summer of 1963, Oswald was active in street demonstrations in support of Castro. In September 1963, he visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City seeking a travel visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba.

Oswald was among the radicals of the time who saw Third World revolutionaries like Castro as the wave of the communist future. He was well aware of Kennedy's efforts to overthrow Castro's regime. As a Senate investigative committee suggested in 1975, Oswald shot Kennedy to interrupt his administration's plans to assassinate Castro or to overthrow his regime in Cuba.

Ignoring Oswald's communist links, journalists and political leaders quickly claimed the president was a martyr to civil rights. Earl Warren said that Kennedy had "suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots." Martin Luther King said the assassination had to be viewed against the backdrop of violence against civil rights marchers in the South. James Reston wrote in the New York Times that "something in the nation itself, some strain of madness and violence, had destroyed the highest symbol of law and order."

The consensus opinion was that Kennedy was a victim of hate and bigotry, a casualty of his support for civil rights. The Cold War and Kennedy's ongoing feud with Castro were rarely mentioned as factors behind the assassination. The reasons? Mrs. Kennedy wanted her husband remembered as a modern-day Abraham Lincoln. Lyndon Johnson feared complicating relations with the Soviet Union. Liberals feared a replay of the McCarthy period, when the Wisconsin senator inflamed public opinion about fears of domestic communism.

“I really resent the Kos and other liberal rags blaming the tea party, etc, before they had any facts.”

Sadly, this has become a PROGRAMMED RESPONSE, thanks to the leftist media machine.

Ask your favorite leftist who said “I can see Russia from my house!!”. Most likely, they will respond SARAH PALIN.

Sarah never said that, it was TINA FEY on Saturday Night Live. But most folks don’t know that.
