April 19th in History, Terrorists Day, Timothy McVeigh Celebration Day

Looking up April 19th in History, one seeks to know what fascination this day has for domestic terrorists.

The pretense being sold to the gullible public is it is "Patriots Day" but in the USA that is July 4th, Independence Day.

There was a battle in the Revolutionary War, loosely called Battles of Lexington and Concord, or the "shot heard 'round the world," but that couldn't be important to people determined to destroy America.

Some violent underworld of domestic terrorism worships "Militia Day" (April 19th) with a homoerotic cult of personality directed at sociopaths with guns.

A few terrorist events of significance occurred on April 19th, put together by Jeff Elliot:

A Short History Of April 19, 1995, 9:02

... McVeigh couldn't have met Snell -- he was imprisoned even before McVeigh joined the Army -- but McVeigh certainly would have known his name. Snell was a celebrity; the Militia of Montana December 1994 newsletter called him "a patriot to be executed by The Beast," and warned he would be executed "unless we act now!!!" Also famous was the date set for his execution: April 19, 1995.

That Snell was to be put to death on April 19 was a jaw-dropper for anyone in the movement. This was their most sacred day -- the 1993 anniversary of the Waco fire, the beginning of the 1992 federal agent assault at Ruby Ridge [not factually accurate on date], the 1775 start of the Revolutionary War and "the shot heard 'round the world." The April 19th date had been dubbed "Militia Day" since the year before, and there were already calls made by several militia groups for demonstrations or other actions. ...

... As a paramilitary organization, CSA working with another terrorist group called The Order, which was robbing banks and had killed a radio talk show host critical of them. The FBI broke up The Order, and on April 19, 1985 -- exactly ten years before the Oklahoma City bombing -- a small army of 300 lawmen swooped down on CSA to arrest founder Jim Ellison and members of The Order hiding on the property. After a tense two-day standoff, Ellison and the others surrendered.

To sum up:

• Snell executed.
• Branch Davidians, Waco Texas, burns.
• McVeigh bombs Murrah Building OKC.
• (Nearly April 19th, bombus interruptus, Scott Roeder arrested April 16th, 1994 with bomb-making supplies in trunk of his car, affiliated with Montana Freemen militiamen and Operation Rescue clinic bombers network.)

Richard Poplawski: Influenced By Fox News Host Glenn Beck And Right-Wing Radio??



Did Paranoid Right-Wing Media Fuel the Pittsburgh Cop Killer's Rage?
Richard Poplawski, the man who allegedly murdered three Pittsburgh cops, was clearly influenced by Fox News's Glenn Beck and right-wing radio.

... But hysterical warnings of government gun grabs and a socialist takeover of the U.S. are no longer the sole proprietary interest of fringe players like Jones. In the Obama era, Jones' conspiracy theories have graduated to primetime on Fox News. And radicals like Poplawski are tuning in. Indeed, according to the Anti-Defamation League, the alleged killer posted a YouTube clip to Stormfront of top-rated Fox News host Glenn Beck contemplating the existence of FEMA-managed concentration camps. ("He backed out," Poplawski wrote cryptically beside the video.) Three weeks later, Poplawski posted another Youtube clip to Stormfront, this time of a video blogger advocating "Tea Parties," or grassroots conservative protests organized by Beck and Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich (see here and here) against President Barack Obama's bailout plan. ...

Rage Grows in America: Anti‑Government Conspiracies
Conspiracy Theories Prompting Action: Richard Poplawski

Anti-government conspiracy theories seem clearly to have played a role in April 2009, in Pittsburgh, when a young man named Richard Poplawski allegedly gunned down three Pittsburgh Police Bureau officers responding to a 911 domestic disturbance call at his residence.

http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/04/richard_poplawski_accused_pitt.php

The longer I do this crime blogging thing, the more I try to shy away both from editorializing and from fear-mongering. But I can't help but feel we'll hear from more Richard Poplawskis in the years to come. There are changes happening in the world that they, to say the least, don't like very much. After all, prior to 9/11/01, the worst modern act of terrorism committed on American soil was committed by Americans. And one of those Americans, Tim McVeigh, happened to have pages from The Turner Diaries with him when he was arrested.

I'm just saying: while we were searching for the key to eliminating Al Qaeda, guys like Richard Poplawski didn't go anywhere. Hell, they may have even multiplied. Just remember that.

Richard Poplawski


Suspect in officers' shooting was into conspiracy theories
Sunday, April 05, 2009 By Dennis B. Roddy, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Richard Andrew Poplawski was a young man convinced the nation was secretly controlled by a cabal that would eradicate freedom of speech, take away his guns and use the military to enslave the citizenry. ...

...

Mr. Poplawski's view of guns and personal freedom took a turn toward the fringes of American politics. With Mr. Perkovic, he appeared to share a belief that the government was controlled from unseen forces, that troops were being shipped home from the Mideast to police the citizenry here, and that Jews secretly ran the country.

"We recently discovered that 30 states had declared sovereignty," said Mr. Perkovic, who lives in Lawrenceville. "One of his concerns was why were these major events in America not being reported to the public."

Believing most media were covering up important events, Mr. Poplawski turned to a far-right conspiracy Web site run by Alex Jones, a self-described documentarian with roots going back to the extremist militia movement of the early 1990s.

Around the same time, he joined Florida-based Stormfront, which has long been a clearinghouse Web site for far-right groups. He posted photographs of his tattoo, an eagle spread across his chest.

"I was considering gettin' life runes on the outside of my calfs," he wrote. Life runes are a common symbol among white supremacists, notably followers of The National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group linked to an array of violent organizations. ...

The emerging portrait of Richard Poplawski: a white-supremacist radical

Thanks to some sleuth work on the Internet, we're starting to learn more about Richard Poplawski, the 23-year-old who killed three police officers yesterday in Pittsburgh, evidently out of fear that his guns were going to be taken away. ...

The Tea Party, Gun Lobby & Anti-Government Rhetoric

April 15, 2010—Fifteen years after former National Rifle Association (NRA) member Timothy McVeigh--motivated by his fear and hatred of the federal government--bombed the Alfred P.

Sean Hannity Owes Apology to Families-Victims of Oklahoma City Bombing
http://chattahbox.com/us/2010/04/01/sean-hannity-owes-apology-to-families-victims-of-oklahoma-city-bombing/

April 1, 2010

(ChattahBox)—-Fox News blowhard Sean Hannity is apparently a fan of notorious mass murderer and domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh. And his appreciative right-wing teabagger audience, when compared to the Oklahoma City bomber cheered and applauded his statement. No, this is not some sort of sick April Fool’s joke.

During a recent segment of his program held inside the Reagan Library, with guests California Republican Congressmen David Drier and Kevin McCarthy, Sean Hannity discussed ways for Republicans to take back power in the mid-term elections. The discussion was filled with such falsehoods, as McCarthy’s claim that President Obama personally, doubled the debt of all 43 prior presidents combined.

At one point during the program Hannity, asked “How many days until we kick Obama out?

But his most egregious statement cast Timothy McVeigh in a positive light and compared him to the raucous tea party movement:

HANNITY: “When you think about the vast majorities that they have in Congress and they had to bribe, backroom deals, corruption, that’s all because the tea party movement, the people — all these Tim McVeigh wannabes here.”

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

As a reminder of who Timothy McVeigh is: On April 19, 1995, with the help of Terry Nichols, McVeigh bombed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, killing 168 innocent people, many of them children, and injuring more than 680.

McVeigh was linked to anti-government Michigan militia and he planned his deadly and cowardly act of terrorism on the second anniversary of the Waco Siege.

Since the election of our first black president and the rise of the angry, anti-government tea party movement, our country has seen an alarming growth in armed, Apocalyptic militia groups. Just recently a heavily armed Michigan-based Christian militia group, named the Hutaree was arrested for plotting to murder police officers and their families, with the aim of igniting an anti-government insurrection.

Hannity’s statement is despicable and the crowds’ cheering more so.

Sean Hannity owes an apology to the families of the 168 people McVeigh murdered in 1995, to the families of the 680 people McVeigh injured, to the people of Oklahoma City and to his country.

Disgraceful!

Hannity’s shout out to a mass murdering domestic terrorist occurs at the end of the video.

Watch it.

Did Sean Hannity call his audience Tim McVeigh-wannabes?

Is Sean Hannity Too Close to the Tea Parties?

http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/04/15/is-sean-hannity-too-close-to-the-tea-parties/

Speaking of Hannity and Tea Parties, a couple weeks ago an especially-ugly attack on the two slipped under the radar, and it deserves to be challenged. On April 1, the Examiner’s Tucker Phelps was shocked that, speaking to a group of “Republican and Teabagger fans” (stay classy!), the following exchange occurred:

HANNITY: When you think about the vast majorities that they have in Congress and they had to bribe, backroom deals, corruption, that’s all because the tea party movement, the people — all these Tim McVeigh wannabes here.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

... Considering that tea partiers get put through crap like this on a daily basis, no wonder they’re inclined to be a little angry.

Hannity Boasts About Tea Parties And "Tim McVeigh Wannabes" Opposing Democrats

http://www.newshounds.us/2010/04/01/hannity_boasts_about_tea_parties_and_tim_mcveigh_wannabes_opposing_democrats.php

If there's any doubt that Sean Hannity and his followers would stop at almost nothing to further their agenda, take a look at this video from his show on March 30, 2010. Near the end of the discussion, at about the 7:45 mark, Hannity brags, "I think we won the debate... When you think of the vast majorities that they have in Congress and they had to bribe, backroom deals, corruption. That's all because the Tea Party movement, the people, all these Tim McVeigh wannabes here." Even if it was a slip of the tongue, what kind of slip is that? Just as disturbing is the rousing audience applause in response and the silence from the two Republican Congressmen.

History Repeats Itself, Sometimes Violently
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2844542/the_hutaree_and_the_second_coming_of.html

the latest evidence of which appears to be the arrest of nine people in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio on seditious conspiracy charges. Those nine people apparently belonged to a militia group known as the Hutaree who not only believe that mankind has entered the Christian biblical "end times" but that it was their Christian duty to oppose local, state and federal authorities who are considered part of a "New World Order." Even worse, the Hutaree had planned for two years to assassinate federal, state or local police officers, according to the indictment issued by federal prosecutors.

The Hutaree share an ideology that is common with these survivalist/end-of-the-world militias. They believe that the established government is either bogus or has betrayed the will of the people, that the world is slowing becoming or has already become a one-government system (hence, the "New World Order," which commonly refers to the United Nations), and that their Christian-based belief system mandates their actions. It was such a set of beliefs that fostered the rise of the Michigan Militia, the organization that Timothy McVeigh and his cohorts belonged to and felt had chosen word over action, giving impetus to their plans that led to the Oklahoma City Bombing.
