  • FUNDING HATE How White Supremacists Raise Their Money
    How White Supremacists FUNDING HATE Raise Their Money 1 RESPONDING TO HATE FUNDING HATE INTRODUCTION 1 SELF-FUNDING 2 ORGANIZATIONAL FUNDING 3 CRIMINAL ACTIVITY 9 THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: CROWDFUNDING 10 BITCOIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES 11 THE FUTURE OF WHITE SUPREMACIST FUNDING 14 2 RESPONDING TO HATE How White Supremacists FUNDING HATE Raise Their Money It’s one of the most frequent questions the Anti-Defamation League gets asked: WHERE DO WHITE SUPREMACISTS GET THEIR MONEY? Implicit in this question is the assumption that white supremacists raise a substantial amount of money, an assumption fueled by rumors and speculation about white supremacist groups being funded by sources such as the Russian government, conservative foundations, or secretive wealthy backers. The reality is less sensational but still important. As American political and social movements go, the white supremacist movement is particularly poorly funded. Small in numbers and containing many adherents of little means, the white supremacist movement has a weak base for raising money compared to many other causes. Moreover, ostracized because of its extreme and hateful ideology, not to mention its connections to violence, the white supremacist movement does not have easy access to many common methods of raising and transmitting money. This lack of access to funds and funds transfers limits what white supremacists can do and achieve. However, the means by which the white supremacist movement does raise money are important to understand. Moreover, recent developments, particularly in crowdfunding, may have provided the white supremacist movement with more fundraising opportunities than it has seen in some time. This raises the disturbing possibility that some white supremacists may become better funded in the future than they have been in the past.

    Prosecution Project Team 4 Final Report Daniel Cirkovic, Yi Jing, Samantha Thompson, & Xuemeng Wang April 16, 2019 Contents 0.1 Non-Technical Report . .2 0.2 Technical Report . .4 0.3 References . 12 0.4 Appendix . 13 1 Contents 0.1 Non-Technical Report 0.1.1 Introduction The Prosecution Project (tPP) is a collection of data that specifically investigates patterns in political violence and terrorism occurring in the United States from 1990 to the present. Data is continuously being added, so updates to the following analysis may need to occur when more recent data becomes available. Our analysis focuses on characteristics of the terrorists, and their acts, including demographics, religion, prosecution types, ideology, tactic, targeting, and group affiliation. Our goal is to show visually and statistically analyze how these variables change over time. 0.1.2 Methodology In order to more clearly detect variable changes, we split the data into time periods separated by major terrorist events. We decided to take this approach to not just evenly split the entire time period (events are not evenly spaced, but amount of data included in each period is fairly similar), but to also see if these major events induced any specific patterns within the variables. We try to depict the reasoning behind these changes, but all of this is subjective - correlation is not necessary causation. The only conclusions we can draw for certain, come from the statistical tests performed, relating to the overall change of each variables’ categories over time. Some of the variables included many categories; and in order to fit them all into one graph, with enough data available within each category per period, we only took the categories with the highest frequencies - while combining some categories together.

  • The Secret History of America
    The Secret History of America: The Greatest Conspiracy On Earth This May Be The Most Important Document You Ever Read In Your Life! Do you believe in a GRAND CONSPIRACY ? Do you believe Oswald acted alone ? Do you believe that government is corrupt ? If so, then to what DEGREE ? That may depend on how willing you are to open your eyes and mind to SEE. Why is it that the more things change, the more they stay the same ? Why doesn't society ever seem to grow up ? Most people grow up thinking that the world is very big and we believe the world exists the way it does today because this is the direction humanity has taken and chosen. The information that I will discuss in the introduction to this catalog is meant to present to you the idea that history is not being created by chance, but rather by design. The road that we are taking as a nation in America and as a human race on the planet Earth is being paved for us in advance and sold to us for a profit. Many people talk about conspiracies such as WATERGATE, IRAN-CONTRA, THE S & L (Savings and Loan) SCANDAL, THE FEDERAL RESERVE, OCTOBER SURPRISE, KENNEDY, THE FREEMASONS, THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS and THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION, and even GREY ALIENS, but very few people know the real facts enough to explain them because they are not researched themselves. As information comes down the pipeline it becomes distorted and confused because most of the people passing along the information do not know the entire story, they have not researched much information themselves, and they tend to be biased as well.
