White Supremacist Nazi behind temple killings

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-pictured.html

Shooter who gunned down six at Sikh temple who was vocal member of Nazi punk band and was kicked out of the army

The skinhead former soldier who killed six people and critically wounded three at a Sikh temple yesterday was a frustrated neo-Nazi who had been the leader of a racist white-power band.

Wade Michael Page, who was kicked out of the army in 1998 when he worked at Fort Bragg in Psychological Operations, gave an interview two years ago to white supremacist website Label 56, telling them that he started the band End Apathy because of his wish to 'figure out how to end people's apathetic ways and start moving forward'.

The band's MySpace page says their music is a 'sad commentary on our sick society and the problems that prevent true progress'.

Witnesses said the 40-year-old opened fire just before services, entering the kitchen at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in suburban Milwaukee at about 10.30am as women prepared a Sunday meal.

It sent worshippers fleeing to escape the barrage - with many hiding in cupboards and texting the outside world begging for help.

He was finally gunned down by police officer Lt Brian Murphy, 51, who was shot 'eight or nine times' and who is now recovering in hospital.

If he was a Nazi then he was your typical big government socialist. Any other big government socialists out there? Considering he is a big government socialist, he ought to be right up your alley.

Obama ought to say, "If you go out and kill a few people, you didn't do that, someone else made that happen." Then Obama ought to credit the government with giving him military training.

We have to do this to keep things consistent. Let's keep it real.

'Batman' Shooting: Gun Lobby Counts On Short Attention Span
WASHINGTON -- The national sense of outrage swiftly passes. That's the lesson of American gun tragedies past.

In January 2011, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) barely survived being shot point-blank in the head by a man who emptied his 30-round magazine into 19 people, killing a federal judge and five others.

It's hard to imagine an incident that would be more likely to advance the cause of gun control in Washington. But nothing happened.

Hey moron, we ALREADY have gun control. And lots of it.


Posted by CaptainObvious on 08-06-12 06:14 PM:

He was not gunned down by the wounded police officer. He was shot and killed by a second officer responding to the call.
I'm trying to keep count on how many times the media can say white male. Calculator is on fire.
Rumor is the shooter liked tea, drank tea, used tea leaves and once had a tea party. I can hear Chris Matthews now. Please, please let there be a connection.

Hey AK47, you do know that the neo nazi's were part of the OWS group right? They have far more in common with the left. They are pro-labor, pro-union, anti-wall street and anti-free markets. Hate to bring down your party here.

What you guys on the left don't seem to understand is that groups like Nazi's don't have an ideology. I pointed out the similarities they have with the left because people like you automatically think in terms of black and white. If they are not liberal then they must be conservative. Of course that line of thinking is preposterous but this is ET. While Neo-Nazi's might hate minorities, their "political" philosophy has always been left. Although some issues certainly over lap. There is a reason why they joined up with OWS over the Tea Party.

Reasons why they did not go with the tea party. They are pro-labor. They hate neo-cons. They hate the US support of Israel. They hate Wall Street (run by Jews in their mind). They hate rich people, corporations and corp welfare. They support single payer healthcare. They support social welfare.

On the flip side, they hate blacks, jews, gays, etc. Of course the Black Panthers hate jews and gays as well.

I think it's pathetic that anyone on these forums try to connect any of these shooters to ANY ideology. People who are crazy are outliers. They extend beyond the political realm. I was simply pointing out to AK47 that nazi's are not so distant cousins to a lot of the political beliefs held by the left.

Black Panthers and Neo-Nazis agree on almost everything. True to form, these groups also hate each other.

quite interesting that this isnt really that big of a news event as the Colorado cinema shootings. Somewhat odd too considering the Sikhs are sworn enemies of the muslims and have been fighting them for 500 years.

Those rags and diapers are a very important religous symbol to Sikhs and they have been wearing them for hundreds of years. You think this nutjob that did the shooting didn't know they were Sikhs and not Muslims. If he cant simply go to google and seperate the two then he must be mentally retarded. The same goes for anyone who mistakes the two religions.

Sikhs have been targeted for their appearance and faith for hundreds of years. By Muslim invaders, indian riots etc etc. A religion that has literally been targeted for elimination ever since its inception will not be deterred by some bigots.

I think you guys should show respect instead of cracking on the cloth helmuts worn by non native American Indians. I have a serious question though. Did the shooter have a laser sight? It seems that the red dots already on the foreheads may have caused some confusion if he did.

Obviously the choice is yours to get your panties in a wad or not.
The concept is pretty simple, wear your religious garb and deal with the consequences of someone thinking you are a muslim on occasion or try harder to blend in thus making yourselves smaller targets.

btw: You don't come here dress funny then demand my respect because of it, once again that makes you sound like a muslim.
I know lucrum didn't put it in a tactful manner but quite frankly if your religion insists you make targets of yourselves then by all means knock yourselves out.

The choice is yours, but don't blame me for the consequences of YOUR actions .

For intelligent or respectful discussions, there are other forums on the net. This here is closer to real life, where you also can't always avoid encountering stupidity and racism.

That is patently false. Let me ask you something Brass. Those issues I listed above. Do you disagree with that? The fact is, in Europe right and left wing has a different connotation then it does here. Just as the conservative party in Britain would be very liberal here. Almost nothing in the nazi party platform aligns itself with the right wing in the "united states". You can label people any name you want. I can call you a neo-con. Does it make it so? If you tell me you are against preemptive war, can I still call you a neo-con? My case in point was the fact that the nazi groups in the US aligned themselves with OWS, not with the right. Do you honestly think the right wing in this country is part of the OWS group? Do you honestly believe that?

You do know that NAZI stands for National Socialist German Workers' Party right? LOL.

When asked in an interview whether he and the Nazis were "bourgeois right-wing" as alleged by their opponents, Hitler responded that Nazism was not exclusively for any class, and indicated that it favoured neither the left nor the right, but preserved "pure" elements from both "camps", stating: "From the camp of bourgeois tradition, it takes national resolve, and from the materialism of the Marxist dogma, living, creative Socialism".[19]

The term Nazi derives from the first two syllables of Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP, Nazi Party).[20] The German term Nazi parallels the term Sozi (pronounced /zoːtsi/), an abbreviation of Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (Social Democratic Party of Germany).[21][22]

The term Nazi was originally used by southern German opponents of the NSDAP, and may have been influenced by the Bavarian term Nazi, which was a familiar form of the name Ignatz, which was used colloquially to mean a "clumsy or awkward person". The earlier term Inter-Nazi, which was a German abbreviation of Internationale, may have also contributed to the adoption of the term.[23]

Members of the NSDAP referred to themselves as Nationalsozialisten (National Socialists), rarely as Nazis. In 1933, when Adolf Hitler assumed power of the German government, usage of the term Nazi diminished in Germany, although Austrian anti-Nazis continued to use the term as an insult.[22] Many Neo-Nazis still refer to themselves as National Socialists. According to Joseph Goebbels in an official explanation of Nazism, the synthesis of the words nationalism and socialism was to "counter the Internationalism of Marxism with the nationalism of a German Socialism".

The SPD is a full member party of the Party of European Socialists and the Socialist International. It is Germany's oldest political party, established in 1875, in the German Parliament. It was also one of the first Marxist-influenced parties in the world.

Not in beliefs. Their ideology is not right wing. When Hitler came to power he indoctrinated many things that today people would align with the right while keeping many of the political beliefs of the left. The political left loves to throw the nazi's into a neat little box that says right wing but in Europe, their parties are more complicated then that. You believe whatever you want to believe Brass, you always do.

What does that have to do with ANYTHING we are discussing here?

http://www.nazism.net/about/nazi_ideology/

...Various right-wing politicians and political parties in Europe welcomed the rise of fascism and the Nazis out of an intense aversion towards Communism. According to them, Hitler was the savior of Western civilization and of capitalism against Bolshevism. Among these supporters in the 1920s and early 1930s was the Conservative Party in Britain. During the later 1930s and 1940s, the Nazis were supported by the Falange movement in Spain, and by political and military figures who would form the government of Vichy France. A Legion of French Volunteers against Bolshevism (LVF) and other anti-Soviet fighting formations, were formed.

The British Conservative party and the right-wing parties in France appeased the Nazi regime in the mid- and late-1930s, even though they had begun to criticise its totalitarianism. Some contemporary commentators suggested that these parties did in fact still support the Nazis...


Maverick74, what I am beginning to see in you is the same kind of "conversion" that we all witnessed in the unfortunate gnome/Scataphagos metamorphosis. And no, I'm not kidding.

According to them, Hitler was the savior of Western civilization and of capitalism against Bolshevism. Among these supporters in the 1920s and early 1930s was the Conservative Party in Britain. During the later 1930s and 1940s, the Nazis were supported by the Falange movement in Spain, and by political and military figures who would form the government of Vichy France. A Legion of French Volunteers against Bolshevism (LVF) and other anti-Soviet fighting formations, were formed.

The British Conservative party and the right-wing parties in France appeased the Nazi regime in the mid- and late-1930s, even though they had begun to criticise its totalitarianism. Some contemporary commentators suggested that these parties did in fact still support the Nazis...


Maverick74, what I am beginning to see in you is the same kind of "conversion" that we all witnessed in the unfortunate gnome/Scataphagos metamorphosis. And no, I'm not kidding.



And all I see in you is a vane insecure gym worshiping 54 year old man that posts on message boards all day having one side arguments and calling people names. If I get to that point at your age, just shoot me Brass for I will know my entire life has been an abject failure.

"Gym worshipping?" I work out 3 days a week for a bit over an hour each time. If that's "worshipping" to you, then I won't have to shoot you at your request. You will likely save me the trouble between now and then. As for the rest, why not set aside a moment or two for some much needed introspection? Particularly since you seem to be perched quite comfortably on the radical fringe.

P.S. Bullshit questions get the attention they deserve.

That is all.

Brass you can't have a conversation with someone when they refuse to answer questions. So why post here at all? Oh shit, I just asked another question. Damn.

Neo Nazis are not part of any republican party anymore than the anarchists are part of of the dem party.

I guess you think George W Bush is a liberal then. LOL. His "actions" created another big government entitlement program, another government department (homeland security), massively expanded the size of government and used Keynesian policies to deal with the Wall Street mess. In other words, he was a liberal. I mean, by your definition of course. LOL.

They're not hateful, they're angry sometimes. I get angry too so I can relate. Doesn't mean I'm going to join the neo-nazis and go on a killing spree.
Yes, the mainstream, play it down the middle types bore me, whether it be politically, or the way they live their lives in general. I like risk. Thrill of victory, agony of defeat kind of thing.

And there are NO angry people on the left? LOL. I guess you are not striving for credibility here. That's OK.

Like Captain said, I never thought angry was the definition of extreme. Have you ever been to a liberal protest before? I actually have. Angry does not even begin to describe them.

I'm not siding with anyone. I'm just trying to understand the frustration and the best way for me to do that is look inward. In doing so helps me to get an idea of where they're coming from. Do I agree with them all the time? Obviously not! I was fighting with them daily about the evil devils in the corporate boardroom, and some of the B.S. politics on the right, but I don't see them as bad people.

Don't try to be logical with Brass. You are either with him or against him. Case in point, a few months back when you were attacking the righties, you were with him and he was your friend. Now that you question the left, he sees you as against him. His shallowness is very transparent.

Professionally speaking here for the benefit of lurkers.

Pistol squats while they look impressive are not good for your knees, especially weighted.

It's probably best not to exceed 100*of knee flexion nor bounce at the bottom .

90* will do just fine for muscular development and help keep your knees healthy.

Yeah, except that's full of crap. While I used to do barbell squats to parallel and no further, pistols are different. They just are. And until you try them, your "professional" opinion isn't worth the "paper" it's posted on. I'm 54, and my knees are just fine.

Have you actually ever tried them? Butt to heel, heel on the ground, knees not forward beyond toes. Oh, you'll feel tension, but not so much in your knees.

That's a cop out and you know it. So let me "try" to ask you something. Do you think it's fair that Romney ignores questions from the media. What keeps him from pulling a "gabby" where he says that's a stupid question and won't answer it? See, if that is the new standard then everyone can refuse to answer questions. This is a message board Gabby. People ask stupid questions. It's a not a court of law. But you do understand that it's pointless for you to even post down here if you are going to ignore 90% of the questions people ask you. Then the guys on the right will do the same. Then we get two people talking over each other asking each other questions with no responses. This is precisely why message boards degenerate into name calling and ad hominem. Because once you take answering questions off the table, all that is left is name calling.

They already do! Every time I explained Keynesian policy as Keynes had intended (rather than how it was merely blamed), my remarks are either ignored or purposefully taken out of context. I refuse to revisit that rabbit hole. Ricter has posted some excellent commentary on economics and he gets laughed at by those too stupid to even grasp what he writes.

Your question wasn't really a question, it was a posture. And I choose not to give it legs at my expense. Seriously, mav, I've had my fill of you for a time. I have less trouble responding in kind to guys like peil and phoenix because I never respected them.

See, I agree with you that both sides do it. Never said anything to the contrary. My question was why do "you" do it? Again, this is a message board. There really are no rules per se. But if you willingly wish to have a discussion with someone, there has to be back and forth. And don't try to play the "quality of content card". This is ET where even the "serious" trading threads above have little to no quality content. The basement is usually expected to be worse. So no one here is expecting top shelf dialogue. But we do expect actual dialogue. I mean that is the minimum bar we have to hit. I have tried in the past, and in some cases came awfully close to having an intelligent conversation with you. Then you get to the point where you pull a Bachmann and start reading the teleprompter. That will obviously frustrate anyone trying to talk to you. And that causes the dialogue to degenerate.

Just something for you to think about.

I'm not going to argue with you, I know my shit.

If you want to do them fine.

But for others, the mechanics are all wrong placing increased stress on the tendons due to the angle of insertion on the bone in these positions.

This exercise simply places it's greatest stress on the passive structures of the knee and the non-contractile portion of a muscle.
If that is one's goal fine, I just recommend caution before anyone follows the advice of a blithering idiot on the net(ie brass).

Your pal Lucrum brought them up in this thread. I never told anyone to do them. I gave no advice. I merely explained how they can be done, presumably by someone with healthy knees. And then you went and lit your hair on fire.

And if "knowing your shit" incudes anything you've ever written about economics, then I find myself in a very comfortable place.

No, I don't think so.

I haven't done these, but recently added front barbell squats to my lower regime. These seem like a one legged version without the weight (or with). I found the front squat to be easier on my knees than squats performed on a smith, though I use a considerable amount of less weight on the front. I might give these a cautious try following the guidelines in the posted article.

So as not to derail the thread, the type of extremist portrayed in this thread seems to have nothing in common with tea party members on the whole, though there were many attempts by the media early on to have us believe otherwise.

...As for the pistol squats,

I'm surprised you'd perform anything named after a firearm. Given the fact you're scared shitless of firearms.

they are among the most difficult exercises to perform.[according to who...>[b][quote] You couldn't do a single one unweighted...



Wager?

The commies were the first group Hitler had killed. We won't know what economic system Germany would have had after the war (had they won), it undoubtedly would have been mixed like the rest of the planet's economies, but to call him a socialist is nonsense.

Hitler didn't want to kill commies, he wanted to kill Stalin. There is a difference.
