After white supremacist Craig Cobb tried and failed to start a whites-only enclave in the tiny North Dakota town of Leith, he set his sights on another community: Antler, population 20-something.
But establishing a presence in the town, just a few minutes from the Canadian border, has proved difficult for Cobb.
Last month, he says, he bought $10,000 worth of property in the town's center from Jim Lozensky, who until recently was an Antler resident.
The sale included an old bank and two nearby residential lots. Cobb wanted to turn the bank into a church for his racist religion, Creativity Movement, which teaches the superiority of white people. The residential lots would be for church members to settle and start a new community together.
He also planned to change the town's name to "Trump Creativity," or "Creativity Trump," in honor of Donald Trump, who Cobb admires deeply.
Needless to say, "Some of the citizens aren't happy with the situation," said Steve Watson, the sheriff of Bottineau County.
Luckily for them, the properties are going to the city, rather than to Cobb, Mayor Bruce Hanson said.
Lozensky, the property seller, "took a down payment from Cobb on the property, and the city made an offer also," said Hanson. Lozenksy decided to sell to the city.
It cost the city about $35,000 to take over more than 20 of Lozensky's properties, Hanson said.
Cobb, meanwhile, complains that he still has not received a deed to the property. He says the seller wants to reimburse him, but "I don't want the check. We want our church."
Cobb said Lozensky backed out of their deal because of pressure from Antler residents, a claim Hanson denied.
However, the mayor did admit that "people were kind of upset" about Lozensky, who recently moved away from Antler. Lozensky declined to comment for this story.
Hanson acknowledged that the city bought the property to keep out Cobb, who lives in nearby Sherwood. "We don't want the guy in town," Hanson said. "I mean, who does?"
Cobb said he and others in his church are "not trying to rule over other people at all."
But he indicated that his intent is to bring in enough people to outnumber the town's voting population, which he estimated to be 20 people.
Hanson said Cobb targets small towns for that reason. "It's not about democracy," Hanson said. "It's not about the American way."
Cobb said his community, if realized, would not exclude nonwhites.
So would he welcome black people?
"'Welcome' is a strong word," he said. "We understand that they have a legal right."
Residents of Leith recently attended an Antler town hall meeting to explain what happened in Leith, which Cobb tried to take over in 2013. He gained national attention for the failed effort.
Hanson says the real driving force for Cobb is just that--media attention.
"That's the bottom line with Craig Cobb. ... If I was you, I'd just ignore the guy."
Asians and Asian cultures are among the most racist or the most racist on the planet. They don’t have to as most of their cultures murder the children who are born of mixed race.
Maybe because you sent it only to me.
If you want your post to apply to everyone, put ‘all’ in the address section, and reply to post #1 - the person who posted the article in the first place.
Otherwise it’s reasonable to assume you are addressing me personally.
It’s not a huge story any day of the week. Crazy people latch onto anything to make themselves relevant.
for example:
I know a guy named Nick who rants about Trump on line like a raving lunatic. That doesn’t have any reflection ion anyone but him.
You basically don't want anyone to "stand up" to the media or Trump.
Maybe we should buy a ghost town and name it Lying Clinton Gulch.
You rant. You are ranting about Trump like a lunatic nutcase and have been doing so for a couple months.
You have made your point. You don’t Like Trump, we get it.
You are a one note opera, a one trick pony.
You have had only one or two comments on anything not Trump related in weeks and haven’t posted anything but Anti-Trump stories.

You are obsessed, you may have a real problem.
Get a new hobby. Try gardening it is good for the soul, you get fresh air and it keeps you off the soap box.
The only reason you are so annoyed is you know what I am saying is true.
Okay, Now you are busted in a lie. I have posted mostly threads about topics unrelated to Trump. Today I posted: Iraqi Christian Underground Railroad, Ashley Madison Leak an Inside Job, North Dakota Governor Won't Run Again. I posted one article about Trump. Yesterday I posted many article, I don't think any were about Trump. Go check.
Are you going to apologize now that you were busted lying?
You are basically saying conservatives should shut up and only let the media talk.
Wanna bet he’s being paid to do it?
He is enrtertaining. You not so much
“What an idiot.”
Why? Because he wants to live among his own people? My little town has been subject to lavish government benefits slowly turning it into a very ‘vibrant’, multicultural paradise. Who want to live among low-IQ, feral thugs?
I am not annoyed, I just like riling you up. I can almost see the spittle fly out of your mouth as you madly pound the key board.
You hat Trump more than I hate Obama. That is saying something.
More of this to come—rumor and racism. Sorry—your race card Democrats has expired. You are out of funds! It has served you well but Fergusson and Baltimore has rendered it invalid. They will do ANYTHING to paint Trump as a Racist, Bigot, anti-Woman, Rich Man who hates common people fellow. It worked with Mittens—but Trump aint Mitt.
I, like Trump, will never apologize, especially when I am right. Just like Trump!
First he’s not all white - he’s like 14% African.

Second when his followers heard that his house was spray painted “Back In Black”.

How can someone be a white supremacist if you are part black?
when ad hominem attacks fail, find an easier target and smear your opponent with them. Same old bag of tricks.
2 week old story. Keep digging.
Nick you never fail to Alinsky FR do you?
I fight the Alinsky tactics.
