The Violent, Vile Facebook Rants Of The ‘Counter Jade Helm’ Leader

Pete Lanteri, the former Marine who's organized a citizen surveillance group to monitor a military training exercise taking place this summer across seven southern states, is a self-described "hothead" prone to Facebook rants about rounding up "commies" and how blacks are a "failed race."

Lanteri, a 44-year-old former Marine who is originally from New York, where he once directed that state's branch of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, and currently resides in Arizona, sat down last week with Fox News Radio's Alan Colmes to talk about how his group plans to monitor the military operation dubbed "Jade Helm 15."

In the Thursday interview, Lanteri complained about being labelled a "Jade Helm 15" conspiracy theorist while simultaneously being dismissed by the tin foil hat set as too sympathetic to the feds. (Lanteri did not respond last week to a request for comment sent to an email account associated with his group).
