蜜桃传媒 Finds New Evidence of Extremists in the Military, Urges Congress to Investigate
The Southern Poverty Law Center (蜜桃传媒) today urged Congress to investigate growing evidence that racial extremists are infiltrating the U.S. military and take steps to ensure that the armed forces are not inadvertently training future domestic terrorists.
In a to committee chairmen with oversight over homeland security and the armed services, the 蜜桃传媒 said it recently found dozens of personal profiles on the neo-Nazi social networking site, NewSaxon.org, which listed 鈥渕ilitary鈥� as the poster鈥檚 occupation. NewSaxon is run by the neo-Nazi and serves as a sort of racist version of Facebook for 鈥淧eople of European Descent.鈥� These profiles are just the latest in a string of evidence the 蜜桃传媒 has provided since 2006 to the Pentagon of extremist infiltration of the military (for 蜜桃传媒鈥檚 reports, read , , and ).
The NewSaxon profiles include an individual who says he is about to be deployed with the Air Force overseas and is looking forward to 鈥渒illing all the bloody sand n------!鈥� Another poster who claims to be currently serving in Iraq writes that he 鈥渉ate[s] illegal immigrants with a passion and feel[s] every true red blooded, white American should do whatever it takes to stop the foreign invasion.鈥� He lists Adolf Hitler鈥檚 Mein Kampf as one of his favorite books. Another poster currently serving in Afghanistan lists as his favorite book , which was written by neo-Nazi leader and served as a blueprint for the Oklahoma City bombing. Many of the profiles include pictures of the posters in military uniform.
These profiles provide further evidence that current Department of Defense regulations prohibiting 鈥渁ctive participation鈥� in extremist groups are inadequate because they can be interpreted to allow members of the armed forces to be 鈥渕ere members鈥� of hate groups or to engage in unaffiliated extremist activities, such as posting racist and anti-Semitic messages to social networking websites and E-mail lists or maintaining online profiles filled with racist materials.
An posted yesterday on Stars & Stripes鈥� website about 蜜桃传媒鈥檚 call for congressional action reported that 鈥渕ilitary officials gave conflicting answers this week when asked how policies governing racist behavior are being enforced.鈥� A spokesman for the Department of the Army told Stars & Stripes that allegations of racist behavior are dealt with 鈥渙n a case-by-case basis at the unit disciplinary level or in the military justice system鈥� and have not been 鈥渁ddressed as an Army-wide problem.鈥�
