Right Wing Terrorism In America
Right-wing terrorism draws its inspiration from a variety of
ideologies and beliefs, including neo-fascism, neo-Nazism,
racism and opposition to foreigners and immigration. Incidents
of this type of terrorism have been sporadic with little or no
international cooperation. Their actions are generally poorly
coordinated and there are few identifiable organizations.
Modern right wing terrorism began to appear in western Europe
in the 1980s and in eastern Europe following the collapse of
the Eastern Bloc.
The objective of right-wing terrorism is the overthrow existing
governments and their replacement with nationalist or
fascist-oriented governments.
During the 1980s, more than 75 right-wing extremists were
prosecuted in the United States for acts of terrorism, although
they carried out only six attacks during the decade.[8] The
success of law enforcement in capturing and preventing
terrorists has been credited to their efforts to investigate
terrorists before they turned to violence. The April 19, 1995
attack on the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma, by the
right-wing extremist Timothy McVeigh, which killed 168 people,
would become the worst domestic terrorist attack in American
history. It was reported he had ties to a Michigan militia
group.
Eric Rudolph carried out a series of terrorist attacks between
1996 and 1998 including the Centennial Olympic Park bombing
which claimed 2 lives and injured 111, the plan being to cancel
the games, claiming they were set up to promote global
socialism. Rudolph has also confessed to the bombings of an
abortion clinic in the Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs on
January 16, 1997; the Otherside Lounge of Atlanta lesbian bar
on February 21, 1997, injuring five; and an abortion clinic in
Birmingham, Alabama on January 29, 1998, killing Birmingham
police officer and part-time clinic security guard Robert
Sanderson, and critically injuring nurse Emily Lyons.
Right-wing extremists have committed at least eight lethal
terrorist attacks in the United States that have resulted in
the deaths of nine people since 9/11, according to data
compiled by the New America Foundation. Another FBI study
reported that between January 1, 2007, and October 31, 2009,
white supremacists were involved in 53 acts of violence, 40 of
which were assaults directed primarily at African-Americans,
seven of which were murders and the rest of which were threats,
arson and intimidation.
Let the events of today and this report be a warming to
rightists. Your guns cannot save you from the full might of
the US justice system, if you make it there alive. Your lies
have been exposed.
