Call Me Ishmael: The Hunt for White Supremacists

You want to write a piece about the threat from white supremacists, remembering that Attorney General Merrick Garland told Congress that violence incited by white supremacists poses “the most dangerous threat to our democracy.” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas agreed. According to Biden administration officials, the threat is greater than from any foreign nation, including—and this is frightening—Donald Trump’s longstanding co-conspirator, Russia! 

So you go to Google and type in “The Oath Keepers” because you’ve discovered it is one of the three major white supremacist groups in the country. Nothing comes up. 

So you click on the second page of the Google search even though you know—because, well, you’re quite sophisticated—that the percentage of searchers who bother to click the second search page is in the single digits, and you’ve heard the joke that the second page of a search is the best place to hide a dead body. 

But you don’t find “The Oath Keepers” on the second page, either. Neither do you find it on the third page, a land where few people have ever ventured.

    I disagree. I giggled oath keepers and came up with a bunch of bullshit ("anti-government far right militia", which is utter bullshit).

    Disclosure - I am OK. Since the beginning.

    Oath Keepers have been villainized to the point of absurdity by the DOJ, Biden himself and the media. They've created a fear that isn't there and an enemy that are among America's greatest protectors.
    Socialism divides people, groups and individuals pitting them against each other to conquer and control. Our present administration is the biggest threat to the Republic, NOT Oath Keepers.

    I'm lately coming around to the thought that, "hell yes we are, motherfuckers, so you'd better watch what you say and do; or you're gonna find out..." Kind of like when "they" squawk "you're a racist"...
    The reply - "you're darn right I am"

    Oath "keepers", Mr. Rhodes is a fed, or an informant...or both. I've said it before, I'll say it again. DO NOT TRUST THE OATHKEEPERS. PERIOD. Not the organization. It's as nearly as top heavy with 3 letter agency people as the 'militia' at this point.
