Neo-Nazis Trying to Take Over North Dakota Town Sent Running by Native American and Anti-Fascist Act

http://politicalblindspot.com/neo-nazis-trying-to-take-over-north-dakota-town-sent-running-by-native-american-and-anti-fascist-activists/

In an update to the story we ran yesterday on the town of Leith, North Dakota being taken over by Neo-Nazi racists, Michael Pugliese tells us from the ground that “Lakota, Dakota, Anishinabe, Apache, African, Irish, German, Norwegian, Spanish, and other anti-racist individuals stood together to fight against the attempted nazi takeover of Leith, North Dakota.”

As an anthropologist, I can say with considerable certainty that these people don't want to have their own DNA analyzed because they are obviously not as "white" as they may think!



A group of Neo-Nazis have set their sights on a North Dakota Town in the U.S. Native Americans and other activists have formed a protest to speak out against this organized act of terrorizing non-white communities, and Indigenous peoples of the Dakotas in particular.

Native American activists and UnityND have released a statement “Caravan leaves at 1:30 pm central to Leith, ND.” The rally at 3 pm Sunday, September 22nd is “to prevent white supremacists from terrorizing” North Dakota. The statement issues by the group says the rally is “because our children deserve a life without bigots.”

The Neo-Nazis targeted the community of Leith because it is a mostly “white” county. But the hate group has plans to disintegrate the Leith “into an all-white enclave.”

Neo-Nazi Jeff Schoep said that this is not just about moving somewhere, but taking over all local offices to form an overtly white supremacist government. ”We have every intention of legally assuming control of the local government.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center, said that the group in question, the U.S. National Socialist Movement, is the biggest Neo-Nazi group in the United States.

the invention of the flush toilet.

Something along the lines of "Them neegrahs din't invent no flush to'let, did they?"

Apparantly, their idea of supreme human accomplishment is a place to put their shit.



Never a single mention of the advanced plumbing systems invented independently by the Sumerians, Assyrians, the people of ancient India, etc.

although not the modern design of today, but running water to flush wastes away were indeed well established in Rome. Don't forget the aqueducts either. My grandfather (who immigrated from Rome in the 1920's) used to love to tell his Anglo Saxon brother- in-law "My people had paved roads and running water while your people were fighting over the deer hide".

the real racist threat is more insidious: It's institutional racism that manifests itself in "stop and frisk". It's syg laws. It's things like the superintendent of schools in the county in PA. It's the racist opposition to President Obama that denies being racist, etc.

Plus, it has been about 3000 generations since the founders of the Eurasian population left Africa. That is more generations than it took to differentiate Shi Tzu from Great Danes.

Current populations are mostly derived from several founder populations associated with agricultural expansions which wiped out predecessor hunter-gatherer populations.

You'd think that by chance there are towns of 15 that are all white already in North Dakota. There is one African American in Leith according to Wiki.

Neo-Nazi: Boot That One N***** Out Of My Town! [NSFW]
http://httpjournalsaolcomjenjer6steph.blogspot.com/2013/08/neo-nazi-boot-that-one-n-out-of-my-town.html

White extremists are planning on getting their all-white town. In 94.7% majority White state of North Dakota, an extremist wants to boot all the NIGGERS and Illegal Aliens out of the town. He want to buy up the land and turn it into a paradise.

Craig Cobb, a middle aged bigot has been busy. He wants his crew to claim sovereign citizen and force the residents out of the town. They want to end the town's name of Leigh and change it to Cobbsville.

Cobb is longtime anti-semitic white supremacist activist who operates a video sharing website named Podblanc.

He claims "racism is my religion" and advocates "racial holy war" in accordance with the tenets of The Creativity Movement.

Neo-Nazis Trying To Create Whites-Only Town In ND
American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 49•39 • Sep 24, 2013

A white supremacist has purchased multiple properties in the town of Leith, ND and has invited fellow neo-Nazis to move there with the goal of taking control of the local government and creating a whites-only enclave, despite the protests of Leith’s 24 current residents. What do you think?



“When will neo-Nazis learn that people of all colors and creeds can live side by side and still discriminate against each other?”

North Dakota Health Department May Flush Neo-Nazi Out of Town
Gale Courey Toensing
September 26, 2013

.... On Monday, September 23, one day after 300-plus Indians and non-Indians from all walks of life arrived in Leith, North Dakota, to rally against Craig Cobb and members of the National Socialist Movement (NSM) who invaded the village with the intention of taking over the local government, WDAY News reported that the state health department was planning shut down Cobb’s home because of unsanitary conditions: The home lacks running water, indoor plumbing and a sewer system.

.....

The health department apparently had notified Cobb earlier about the sanitary violations at his home, because late Monday afternoon, WDAY 6 News learned the state will issue a final letter ordering him out of his house this week because of health concerns.

Cobb says he will use the Civil Rights act to sue the city of Leith and the state of North Dakota, if he is forced from his home.

Chase Iron Eyes, founder of Last Real Indians, said his organization and UnityND, a group that formed in protest to the proposed extremist, neo-Nazi takeover, “are working together to make sure the neo-Nazis do not plant a foothold publicly in North Dakota.” The two organizations organized the caravans that brought protesters to the rally from Bismarck, North Dakota, and Standing Rock Reservation where Iron Eyes resides.

“On Sunday, we hung out there for some hours, remaining vigilant and getting into some conversations with Mr. Cobb and whoever else was there,” Iron Eyes said. Eventually, the Swat Team that was on hand to keep things under control got tired and began to disperse the crowd. “They initiated a command to clear the street so they fanned out across the street and were going to do a sweep and either beat people down or start arresting people who didn’t move out of the street. They were in formation ready to move us all out,” Iron Eyes said. But it wasn’t necessary since everyone dispersed and moved out on their own. The protesters weren’t about to let the Nazis confront the elders, children and women, Iron Eyes said, “That’s the last thing we needed. We were there as peacekeepers.”
