An American political extremist accused by the Washington legislature of domestic terrorism is reportedly overseas with dozens of children from Ukraine.
"Former Washington state Rep. Matt Shea, the far-right Republican who was found by a House-commissioned investigation to have planned and participated in domestic terrorism, is in a small town in Poland with more than 60 Ukrainian children, trying to facilitate their adoption in America," The Seattle Times reported Wednesday. "But international agencies say, with the chaos and confusion of war, now is not an appropriate time for international adoptions from Ukraine. And Sheas presence, and the lack of information surrounding the American group hes with, has raised concerns among some residents of Kazimierz Dolny, the small Polish town where the children are staying at a hotel-guesthouse."
The newspaper interviewed Weronika Ziarnicka, an aide to the mayor of Kazimierz Dolny.
I asked him many times, What are you going to do with these children? and he told me that its not my business," Ziarnicka said of Shea. I got the feeling in my gut that somethings wrong with this guy; he didnt want to tell me his last name.
Shea distributed a right-wing manifesto for right-wing activists to seize power and proposed a new Christian state in America's Pacific northwest.

I can only hope he ends up behind bars from now on.

A Washington state representative is under federal investigation after his "Biblical Basis for War" manifesto leaked, outlining a 14-step process for right-wing Christians to seize power and kill their political enemies.

The four-page document distributed by state Rep. Matt Shea (R-Spokane) is a Christian call to arms that demands an end to legal abortion and same-sex marriage, and spells out a chilling fate for anyone who refuses to obey "biblical law," reported the The Spokesman-Review.
If they do not yield kill all males, the document says.

The far-right gathered in Spokane Valley to push for the creation of Liberty State, a 51st US state that is intended to be something of a wildlife sanctuary for Christian conservatives, the Spokesman-Review reported Friday.

One of the speakers was notorious far-right Republican state Rep. Matt Shea. Shea published a "biblical war" manifesto last fall.
In April, Shea was caught conspiring to far-right extremists to commit acts of violence against liberal activists. In response, Shea quoted an anti-Semitic website to lash out at the journalist who exposed him.
Shea's legislative assistant, Rene' Holaday, warned of violence if people did not go along with the idea of the new state.
Its either going to be bloodshed or Liberty State," Holaday said ominously.
These whacko's are not isolated, they are some everywhere. some are in my state, Douglas County Co. and Colorado Springs.
