Report: White supremacist trying to take over small ND town of Leith

One more reason for North Dakotan to hate the oil boom!

Report: White supremacist trying to take over small ND town of Leith
http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/409800/


LEITH, N.D. – A man wanted in Canada for hate crimes has been slowly buying up property in Leith with plans to create a white nationalist community close to good-paying jobs in the Oil Patch.

According to the Bismarck Tribune, Craig Paul Cobb, 61, is a known white supremacist advocating racial holy war and promoting his property in the town of 19 to others like him.
....
In a posting on the Web, Cobb invites like-minded nationalists to join him in Leith to fly Nazi flags and other racial banners and bring more “hard core” white nationalists...
....
The Tribune said he has lived in town for about a year, buying up vacant property, mostly from absentee owners, for a few hundred dollars a lot. County records show Cobb has transferred ownership of two lots – one to Tom Metzger, a former grand dragon of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in California, which founded the White Aryan Resistance, and another to Alex Linder, originator of the Vanguard News Network, a white supremacist website......

the oil patch (yes, even in the field) is DOMINATED by multicultural scientists and engineers. These WP jamokes will be taking orders from Chinese, Algerian, Nigerian, Egyptian, Iranian, Indian, (I could go on...) managers, VP's, etc.


What could possibly go wrong?

Wonder if they are going to be carrying guns everywhere they go. Most cowardly racists feel powerless without a gun on their hip or in their hands. The NRA group in that town is going to be overwhelmed with all the law-abiding racists and bigots that are so deeply involved in the NRA. Maybe Teabaggerville will feature a statue of Ted Nugent to commemorate and support child rape under threat of death. Why do white supremacists support pedophilia and murder? When will individual teabaggers start to feel shame for the ugliness and hatred they have promulgated? Teabaggers are losing friends and family over their extreme racism and bigotry- and until they grow up and start acting like Americans, this trend will continue.

.... Since Cobb isn’t available to explain, it’s a mystery why he chose Leith, though a small, mostly ghost town would be attractive for its cheap, unwanted property and few neighbors.

Some of his thinking might be explained by the following excerpt about his plans for a white nationalist community in North Dakota:

“Until political control were established, there would be the slight possibility that new local regs designed to limit our expansion might be tried. We could oppose those if that happenstance were implemented. The numericals are absol-utely miniscule. However, dedicated, hard-working folks are needed. Imagine strolling over to your neighbors to discuss world politics with nearly all like-minded volk. Imagine the international publicity and usefulness to our cause! For starters, we could declare a Mexican illegal invaders and Israeli Mossad/IDF spies no-go zone. If leftist journalists or antis come and try to make trouble, they just might break one of our local ordinances and would have to be arrested by our town constable. See?”

Perhaps Cobb wants to set up his community in a place that has a very small, if any, non-white demo-graphic. ...

He has to expand into North Dakota.

I hope he freezes his ass off.
