Police just arrested 57 white supremacists in huge criminal bust
Source: Washington Press
Nearly five dozen white supremacists representing six different known neo-Nazi groups in Texas have been arrested for running a massive meth and extortion ring, a federal court just revealed.
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas unsealed indictments Tuesday against members of the Aryan Circle, the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Peckerwoods, the Soldiers of Aryan Culture, and the Dirty White Boys.
The arrests and indictments come after a years-long federal investigation. Charges include everything from drug trafficking to kidnapping and paint the portrait of a vast criminal network thats been engaged in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and other illegal narcotics throughout the Northern District of Texas and elsewhere, the indictment reads.
The charged white supremacists used firearms and physical violence to further their drug trafficking activities, according to the indictment, which was first obtained and reported by Sebastian Murdock of the Huffington Post.

The Washington Press appears to be real, but it sources its content from other news sites, sometimes unreliable.

(58,785 posts)Factual reporting rating is "mixed." People not used to checking these things should keep in mind that hiding spins and disinformation among truths is critical to deluding anyone who isn't actually demented. Strictly for those who wish they had their own left-wing Lou Dobbs.
Thanks for checking, Mahatama.

(57,489 posts)I work in downtown DC. I know what the local news sources are. There is no Washington Press. It does not exist, at least not as a news source. It is no more than a johnny-come-lately news aggregator that takes stories that have appeared elsewhere days earlier, strips the name off the original author and actual news source so that they get no credit for the work they have done, and then runs the story as its own. Another fake is the Washington Free Beacon.
The internet is getting littered with these news aggregators that add their own particular bias to every story that appears in them. If we keep normalizing them, then we should expect Trump and his policies to be in place for a long, long time.
Stop normalizing them. Please. It is well past the time to be complacent when we read "Pope Endorses Trump," or "Hillary Too Frail to Climb Down Flight of Stairs." We can say "no more." We can't stop this malicious and anti-democratic (with a small-d) charade everywhere, but we can stop it at DU.
Thank you for listening to my rant.

"Hopefully there won't be a next time," a police officer told him, according to a transcript included in the complaint. "Stop getting into trouble."
"Yeah," another officer said, "you might not survive the next time."
"You might not, either," Lane said.

(22,369 posts)...Mr. Ohler fell back on his interest in sleuthing during the five years it took to research and write Blitzed. Through interviews and documents that hadnt been carefully studied before, he unearthed new details about how soldiers of the Wehrmacht were regularly supplied with methamphetamine of a quality that would give Walter White, of Breaking Bad, pangs of envy. Millions of doses, packaged as pills, were gobbled up in battles throughout the war, part of an officially sanctioned factory-to-front campaign against fatigue.

These Neo Nazi White Supremacists in Texas are staying in step with the Reich, all the way.

Fuck me. These people are SOOO evil. I am a very strong social liberal. I believe people have all kinds of natural rights that should not be fettered, as long as no one else is harmed. As a....I can't say "result", because my views evolve somewhat from time to time....anyway, I think that the so-called "soft drugs" are fairly benign, and no one's business but that of the user.
Blah blah blah. Cut to the point.
I strongly believe that the world would be far better off if all the methamphetamine and its cousins, as well as cocaine, were do disappear from the planet. Someone struggling with heroin addiction is in a far better place than a committed meth user.
The people that create and traffic this poison are doing evil. That, in this case, they are also neo-Nazis??? They don't need to be breathing the same air we do. Prison for natural life.
