Museum shooter a Christian-hating socialist

It's true. Though not that you'd think so from the media generated narrative about James Wenneker Von Brunn being "right-wing" and "conservative." Lefty media types have been quick to put Von Brunn into a box labelled "right-wing conservative" and then use this as ammunition against conservatives. No doubt one of them has already found a way of blaming George Bush for the shooting at Washington's Holocaust Museum. Pity they didn't bother to take the time to read what he had written himself about his beliefs. (For one thing, they'd have discovered that he's a 9/11 Truther who thinks Bush was behind it all.) And as an ex-journalism major, he wrote quite a lot. Things like: "One [capitalism] is past history; the other, WESTERN SOCIALISM, represents the future of the West, and the end of JEWRY on Western soil." The Federal Reserve (ie the US's central bank) was "designed by bankers for bankers." As Ben Johnson writing in frontpagemag.com observes, Von Brunn "despised the freedom and potential decadence capitalism affords, insisting Jews were “exacerbating natural disputes between the Western States and influencing the results in favor of Liberalism as opposed to Authority; that is, materialism, free trade and usury [the charging of interest on borrowed money], as opposed to Western Socialism; Internationalism as opposed to Western unity. MONEY was their sword and buckler. Hate and revenge their motif.”" Now, I suspect that "western" socialism is another way of saying national socialism, ie NAZI, but we forget that nazism and fascism were genuineley radical working class movements. They didn't just appropriate the term socialist to piss off the "genuine" socialists. Franco, who was probably a conservative monarchist at heart was prepared to use the radical fascists, with their anti-capitalist rhetoric, so long as it suited him. Then he shafted them. These points are taken from the “Platform for the Aryan National State” of Aryan Nations: Promote and preserve the industry and livelihood of the citizens. [E]liminate the current practice of damaging and poisoning life and environment. Provide honest aid to farmers and other business people, and shall restore to all citizens rightful land ownership. Make the necessary provisions for the aged, who have been impoverished by fraud (inflation). Confiscate all unearned wealth, stolen by fraud or usury and that which is gain from war. Nationalize all monopolies and multi-national interest[s]. Immediately bring about land reform…. I'd reckon most anti-globalisation protesters at a meeting of the G20 would be quite happy to sign up to these. He has this to say about Christianity: These dangerous, imbecilic, concepts, tenets, and teachings, often treasonous, DESTROYED the Roman Empire and drenched the soil of Europe with Aryan blood for almost 2000 years! The Big Lie technique, employed by Paul to create the CHRISTIAN RELIGION, also was used to create the HOLOCAUST RELIGION ... CHRISTIANITY AND THE HOLOCAUST are HOAXES. He worked for a time at a white supremacist bookshop that had at least in the past stocked books by Noam Chomsky, who is something of a hero amongst Jew haters. Again, this should surprise nobody. The extreme Right and the extreme Left are not the polar opposites that people imagine. They end up strangely resembling each other in quite a lot of ways.
