Evidently, there was a movie made about Hannie The Girl with Red Hair But it doesn’t sound like it does justice to her story.

You guys remember the journal entries from your GF’s sister in Wolfenstein: The New Order? They were very similar. A one of the best parts of the game.

I tried to trace down an English language translation of her memoir* when this article dropped last September but did it have any luck.

(I think it was a memoir but it may have been a third party account)

According to FBI figures shared with The Post, in the 2017 budget year there were about 110 people arrested after being investigated for actions inspired by foreign terror groups such as the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Of those, about 30 faced terrorism charges. The rest faced gun, drug, fraud or immigration charges.

Last year, out of about 100 such arrests, only nine defendants faced terrorism charges — a drop-off owed in part to a decline in the number of people attempting to travel overseas to join the Islamic State, the senior law enforcement official said.

In the 2017 budget year, FBI investigations led to the arrest of about 150 domestic terrorism suspects, according to law enforcement officials. The following year, the figure was about 120.

** But because federal law does not designate domestic groups as terrorist organizations, no corresponding terrorism crimes apply to such suspects.**

but Discord isn’t a “gaming platform”, but rather a chat platform. Bad Journalist, Bad!

But there’s also this:

In particular, many members viewed Turning Point USA, a MAGA-friendly student organization with more than 1,000 chapters at high schools and colleges nationwide, as fertile grounds for recruitment. A recent report by the Southern Poverty Law Center found that the number of hate groups in America hit a record high last year, driven largely by a surge in groups catering to young, college-aged white men.

“Pro-Tip,” one member wrote on the Discord server, titled “Nice Respectable People Group,” in February. “Turn your local Turning Point USA chapter to a de-facto IE [Identity Evropa] chapter.”

In the wake of the leaks, Identity Evropa “rebranded” to the more innocuous-sounding “American Identity Movement.” The group even ditched its trademark “Dragon’s Eye” logo, a Germanic symbol representing the choice between good and evil, in favor of an American eagle, decked out in red, white, and blue.

Interesting. Hadn’t used it in awhile. I guess they need cash, looking at those prices!

After the secret texts between the Portland Police Bureau and Patriot Prayer, we are maybe getting somewhere.

Thanks for posting this! I keep forgetting about her show since we cut cable a while back.

This may be related to the maelstrom of weirdness and hatred associated with Q-Anon fans and MAGA types. Some guy allegedly shot an alleged mob boss to death in Staten Island. In court, he had a message for reporters. Scrawled on his hand, in ink.

Q-Anon-crazy? Mob guy killing another mob guy using MAGA style “patriotism” as cover? Maybe people just like murdering people now. It’s weird.

The first time I saw this I said to the wife, this is not a mob killing. Mobsters don’t go center mass when shooting to kill. They go for the head. Two or more shots in the head is a mob hit. This guy was an amateur. Not a pro.

If he’s not mob that sounds like something that’s gonna sort itself out fairly quickly.

An interesting look at how White Nationalism got its start:

Grant’s purportedly scientific argument that the exalted “Nordic” race that had founded America was in peril, and all of modern society’s accomplishments along with it, helped catalyze nativist legislators in Congress to pass comprehensive restrictionist immigration policies in the early 1920s. His book went on to become Adolf Hitler’s “bible,” as the führer wrote to tell him. …

…“Even though the Germans had been directly influenced by Madison Grant and the American eugenics movement, when we fought Germany, because Germany was racist, racism became unacceptable in America. Our enemy was racist; therefore we adopted antiracism as our creed.” Ever since, a strange kind of historical amnesia has obscured the American lineage of this white-nationalist ideology.
