The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) issued a bulletin on Tuesday regarding President-elect Donald Trumps choice of Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn as national security adviser.
In a post at the Hatewatch blog, Stephen Piggott noted that Flynn has been very open about his reactionary views, posting frequently on social media.
In the approximately 1,700 tweets examined by Hatewatch, Flynn has been no stranger to the anti-Muslim movement. He also has interacted with and praised a number of anti-Muslim figures. But perhaps most surprisingly, Flynn follows two individuals who use the hashtag #WhiteGenocide proudly displayed in their Twitter biographies: @ErinBSullivan and @AlbionAwakes, Piggott wrote.
He continued, White genocide is an idea that white people, far from ruling most of the developed world, are actually being subjected to a genocide that will ultimately wipe out their race. In recent years, the idea has been spread through something known as the The Mantra, a 221-word attack on multiculturalism written by Robert Whitaker, a cantankerous segregationist making a presidential bid this year on the racist American Freedom Party ticket. The Mantra ends with the phrase, Anti-racist is code word for anti-white.

(1,439 posts)He noted in the post that his party had recently signed a cooperation deal with Putin's United Russia party, which "outlined plans for regular meetings and collaboration where suitable on economic, business, and political projects," The New York Times reported on Tuesday.
Flynn's relationship with the Kremlin has been under scrutiny since he was tapped by Trump to be the national security adviser. Photos have emerged of the former lieutenant general with Putin in Moscow celebrating the 10th anniversary of the state-sponsored news agency Russia Today, which has featured him as a commentator.
The fact that Flynn appears to have granted an audience to Strache in New York raises more questions about the influence that far-right populism and white nationalism may have on the incoming Trump administration.

We need to update that History Channel "yes, it's alien" asshat to say "yes it's Nazis" - at least it would reflect the truth...

Seems that with this generation of Nazis, Muslims are the new Jew and/or Communists...
I say this not lightly and with full respect and difference to the Holocaust and pogroms of the past.
If we do not fight this *together* this will not end well.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have to be confirmed by the senate. Trump is getting brained washed by Flynn and Bannon so I doubt he can even distinguish facts from propaganda. We will be in grave danger in the years ahead with hightened risk of attacks on US soil. The new administration can use NSA sureveilence with no regards for ehics or law which may give them enormous power over the entire workd.
