You just have to read this one for yourself and all the BS will reveal itself... What a crock! Tom Stedham
John Matthews had long been a shadowy presence in his son Dan’s life. Every six months it was a new city, a new state, a new apartment. Dan, who lived with his mother, suspected something illegal was going on. He was estranged from his father and even used his stepfather’s last name, Candland. Once, when Dan was 16, Matthews called him from a pay phone to say he was going underground and might appear on the television show America’s Most Wanted one day. Months later, when they reconnected, neither brought it up.
Matthews, who is now 59, recognized how he must have looked to his son: a troubled Vietnam veteran, a paranoid man who wandered between jobs and marriages, despised the government, and always kept a camouflage backpack filled with food, water, and clothing by his bedroom door. “Danny always figured I was trash,” Matthews says. “Or a bad person.”
The article says he infiltrated the "white supremacist movement", but when you read it for details... you just don't see any. There's a reference to "attending dance parties with the Ku Klux Klan", but, that's it. Not even the remotest hint of any danger or a plot from the evil white supremacists.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about Tom Posey and his supposed plot to attack the gummint, way back in the 90s. Well, Tom is white. That's about the only connection I can see between this informant's actions and any "white" supremacy movement.
It sounds like Tom Posey committed a few federal crimes, and wasn't very shy about letting some people know about it. But for all that, all he got was two years in prison.
I'm sure some info wasn't covered in the article, but overall, this is a very lame attempt to link some ordinary stupid criminals with "white supremacists"... FAIL.
"Matthews, 59, is ill, suffering from the effects of exposure to Agent Orange and asbestos in Vietnam. He figures his time on earth is short, ..."
ReplyDeleteA slave to the feds, paid out with an early grave thanks to occupational exposure, due to what you might construe as government negligence. Agent O and Asbestos: they ain't peanut butter and chocolate.
He might be loyal to the fed.gov, but did he keep his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution?
SPLC, lame it is, and I'd sure like to know the whole story, as it's not in this piece. He must not have loved his son much to allow him to think badly of him all these year and the only Marine I can find with that name and age is a jewelery in Vero Beach, but that's not to say he wasn't. After working to bust Churchill as a fake, I question every veteran and will gladly show anyone my proof. OK, Agent Orange in Vietnam, I'm 100% from that, but asbestos? I've never heard of that in Vietnam, but if there was, I'd like to know more.
ReplyDeleteNavy. Pipe fittings were asbestos, especially those made in Brooklyn Navy Yards during the 2nd World War. If he spent time aboard ship, maybe it was there that he was exposed.
ReplyDeletemaybe it was there that he was exposed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and thanks.
