It was Keith Deroux. He was standing in the hallway carrying a blue Pan Am Airlines bag with a loaded revolver inside. Keith was a relentless junkie. He’d been buying cocaine from Wolfgang for six months. Th e $305 he owed was carefully recorded beside his initials in the 8 1/2 x 11-inch notebook that Wolfgang used to track his clients’ debts. Even though it was midafternoon, Wolfgang wore nothing but a T-shirt and underwear. He had no use for clothes. All he did these days was sell drugs out of his apartment, and the job had no dress code. His clients were desperate. They didn’t care if he wore pants. Th e neighbors suspected he was up to no good. Visitors would come and go at all hours. His apartment on the second fl oor of 2 North Drive was a regular drive-thru, but the Toronto police drug squad apparently knew nothing about it. Although Wolfgang was one of those cryptically referred to as “known to police,” and his FBI Bayou of Pigs file warned he “should be considered armed and dangerous when not in custody,” it had been years since his last run-in with the law. Except for the large quantity of cocaine in his closet and the marijuana in his freezer, Apartment 207 was otherwise ordinary- looking—750 square feet, with a single bedroom, a TV, and an armchair by the window. Th e only hint of Wolfgang’s troublesome past was his signed photograph of the German far-right leader Ernst Zundel. And then there were the fi les on the bookshelf beside the sofa that contained the membership lists of the Heritage Front, an organization Wolfgang had once headed. More Heritage Front fi les were stored on his computer. Wolfgang had started dealing drugs after leaving the Sandstone correctional institution in Minnesota, where he’d served two years for his crimes as a mercenary. Keith was a regular customer. He’d called on his cell phone early that afternoon and said he wanted to come over to buy cocaine, but it was a lie. By the time he got to Wolfgang’s apartment, his head was spinning. He’d been drinking hard liquor, gulping Tylenol 3s and snorting coke. On top of that, he was in methadone withdrawal. He was shaking like an old man. Wolfgang let Keith into the apartment and went to get the cocaine, but when he turned his back, Deroux reached into his fl ight bag and pulled out the Rohm .22. “Are you alone?” Keith asked. “Ya,” Wolfgang responded, with the German accent he had never quite shaken. “I don’t believe you,” Keith said. He ordered Wolfgang into the bedroom and told him to open the closet door, to make sure nobody was hiding inside. Keith was inspecting the closet, satisfying himself that it was really empty, when Wolfgang bolted. Keith fired, but he was a lousy shot and, even at fifty-five, Wolfgang was too quick for the quivering hand of an addict. Th e fi rst bullet hit the wall by the front door. Th e second was also a miss. It sailed through the open doorway and into the hall. Wolfgang ran for the stairwell. xii Prologue He turned to look back just as Keith pulled the trigger one more time. Th e bullet struck Wolfgang in the chest, but he kept running. He was almost at the stairs when Keith got off one last shot. It hit Wolfgang square in the back of the skull. He fell face down on the carpet. It all happened quickly. Wolfgang probably did not have time to think about who might have sent Keith to kill him, and there was no shortage of candidates, seeing as he had spent his entire adult life militantly taunting, provoking, off ending and plotting. Th e FBI Terrorism Section’s fi le on Wolfgang notes his travels to Libya, involvement in the Aryan Nations and the National Socialist Party of Canada, illegal weapons, drug traffi cking and his use of false identities, but the most remarkable entries concern his mercenary activities. Wolfgang and a Texas soldier of fortune-type named Mike Perdue had once organized a military coup on the island of Dominica, a country probably best known today as the setting for Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean fi lms. On November 3, 1978, Dominica became the Western hemisphere’s 30th nation. At the Independence Day ceremony in Roseau, the capital city, Prime Minister Patrick John, the opposition leader Eugenia Charles and Princess Margaret watched as the Union Jack was lowered and the fl ag of Dominica was raised, a circle of stars surrounding a Sisserou parrot. Centuries of French and British colonial rule were over, but Dominica’s troubles were only just beginning. Within months, Wolfgang and Perdue were working on a plan to invade the island. Th ey called it a strike against communism, but their motives were mainly fi nancial. Th ey wanted to steal the country and turn it into a crooks’ paradise. Th e North American far-right wing was involved, along with the Mob and fi nanciers in Las Vegas and Mississippi. So was the island’s ex-prime minister, his army chiefs and a gang of Rastafarian guerrillas. Some believe the CIA was in on it, too. It was one of the most audacious heists ever attempted, and until now the true story behind it has never been fully told.

  • Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces
    Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces Running Header: Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces Ashley Manuel Department of Integrated Studies in Education McGill University, Montréal August, 2014 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts in Education and Society © Ashley Manuel 2014 Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces 2 ABSTRACT This research determines whether Canadian educational spaces in the past have had any bearing on the radicalization of youth. As globalization creates tensions, insecurity and confusion for young people in relation to their identity, the radicalization of young Canadians poses a significant threat to maintaining national security. Though radicalization within Canadian educational institutions is far less prevalent than usually assumed in today's security- obsessed society, education's role as a social institution provides an important site to investigate this concern. A qualitative analysis of the educational experiences of Donald Andrews, Marc Lépine and Saad Khalid, each of whom adopted extremist belief systems in Canada during their youth, was conducted to uncover what kind of an influence schools played in their radicalization process. Results indicated that the sentiments of alienation and marginalization that fuelled their radicalization were exacerbated within their school settings. Therefore, the value of critical pedagogy is brought to light in order to demonstrate that by supporting the healthy development and social integration of its young people, educational spaces can indeed be utilized to prevent social isolation, a major driving force in the radicalization of youth. Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces 3 Résumé Cette recherche détermine si les espaces éducatifs canadiens ont eu un impact sur la radicalisation des jeunes.

Jones, October 1999 MASTER OF ARTS (1999) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: "www.hate.org" -- The North American White Supremacist Movement: An Analysis ofInternet Hate Web Sites AUTHOR: Allison M. Jones, B.A. (York University) SUPERVISOR: Professor V. Satzewich NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 220 ii Abstract This thesis is a qualitative study ofNorth American white supremacist organisations, and their Internet web sites. Major issues framing the discussion include identity and racism. The thesis takes into consideration Goffman's concepts of'impression management' and 'presentation ofself as they relate to the web site manifestations of 'white power' groups. The purpose ofthe study is to analyse how a sample ofwhite supremacist groups present themselves and their ideologies in the context ofthe World Wide Web, and what elements they use as a part oftheir 'performances', including text, phraseology, and images. Presentation ofselfintersects with racism in that many modern white supremacists use aspects ofthe 'new racism', 'coded language' and'rearticulation' in the attempt to make their fundamentally racist worldview more palatable to the mainstream. Impression management techniques are employed in a complex manner, in either a 'positive' or 'negative' sense. Used positively, methods may be employed to impress the audience with the 'rationality' ofthe arguments and ideas put forth by the web site creators.
