https://4thgenwar.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/trump-meets-man-who-inspired-2011-terror-attack-deadlier-than-orlando-shooting/(July 3, 2016) A photo, attached to an opinion column dated April 16, 2016 that was published on the website Traditionalright.com, shows Donald Trump standing with an even taller, neatly dressed, unsmiling man with a strangely intense gaze: William S. Lind.
In his column, Lind wrote, At the beginning of this column you will find a photograph of me giving a copy of The Next Conservatism to presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Linds many accomplishments include pioneering a novel theory of warfare that, he suggests, may have inspired al-Qaedas grand global strategy ; promoting a conspiracy theory concerning something called cultural Marxism now globally embraced by racist, neo-Nazi, and nationalist right movements which helped provoke one of Europes worst terrorist attacks in decades ; and publishing a 2014 novel that envisions white Christian militias carrying out the ethnic cleansing of North America and restoring slavery.
In the website photo, Trump is smiling, and, according to Bill Lind, he holds Linds 2009 book The Next Conservatism, co-written with his friend and close working colleague the late Paul Weyrich who is generally credited as one of the top three co-architects of the contemporary American religious right.

So this is the moment I've been waiting for since I covered Donald Trump's 2016 meeting with William S. Lind who was one of the 1st far right strategists to advocate putting citizens militias under county sheriffs. Now, thousands of armed militants plan to converge in Richmond...
2) ...next Monday. So this AM I poked around a bit, and now I'm listening to Stewart Rhodes, leader of the "Oath Keepers" saying that his people are going to Virginia to make the sheriff militia posse thing happen. There are precedents for this - Maricopa County sheriff Arpaio..
3)..had his own personal army (posse) of several thousand. Some of them were convicted criminals. & down in Texas, County Sheriff Pamela Elliott has been accused of using her militia-linked "posse" to harass her political enemies.
Sheriff With Militia Ties Goes Wild in West Texas
Pamela Elliott was the new sheriff in town. But instead of law and order, she brought chaos voter intimidation and botched investigations to West Texas.

4)..but this is a wholly different level. Rhodes is literally saying that the intent is top created county-level citizens militias, under county sheriffs, that can nullify state laws and state exercise of authority that they disagree with. This amounts to an armed insurrection vs
5)..state level and federal authority. And it is on an unprecedented scale. Richard Mack's CSPOA is key to this - a national network of county sheriffs willing to go against state and federal authority. CSPOA has VA county sheriffs who are members and what's more, individual...
