Tiny North Dakota town stunned to learn of white supremacist's plans (white nationalist takeover)

Last edited Thu Aug 22, 2013, 01:21 AM - Edit history (1)

LEITH — A man wanted in Canada for hate crimes has been quietly living in a small Grant County town, slowly buying up lots and property with plans to create a white nationalist community off the radar and close to good-paying jobs in the Bakken.

Craig Paul Cobb, 61, owns a two-story house in Leith, a town of 19 people between Carson and Elgin, and 12 other lots, according to county records.

Cobb is a known white supremacist who advocates racial holy war and is promoting his property in Leith to others like him.

Cobb didn’t answer his door Tuesday and it’s believed he works during the week on a highway construction crew in the Killdeer area. Numerous efforts to reach him on his apparent cellphone were unsuccessful.

Cobb is actually a dual citizen of the US/Canada, but Canada isn't really requesting an extradition.

And Glenn Beck has promoted this "living off the grid" stuff. Hmm, wonder if this Cobb guy has been brainf_cked by too much hate talk radio?

Same applies with homeschooling, libertarianism, good ideas that got screwed over by the crazy right.
