http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/22/neo-nazi-plans-to-build-an-all-white-city-of-racists-in-north-dakota/
A man living in North Dakota plans to turn his small town into a bastion of white supremacists, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
I didnt have a clue who the guy was until he showed up. All I know is he bought that house sight unseen, $5,000 cash, and had no idea what it looked like, where it was, other than he knew the directions to get to Leith, Mayor Ryan Schock told the Hatewatch blog.
Craig Paul Cobb, 61, has been buying up abandoned property in Leith, a town of only 19 people. He has invited other white supremacists to live on his properties and help take over the city.
In a post last year on the Vanguard News Network forum, Cobb said anyone who lives on his property would be required to fly a racialist banner such as a Nazi flag 24-hours a day. They would also be required to try to import more responsible radical hard core [white nationalists] and become a legal resident of the state so they could vote in local elections. He plans to rename the city Cobbsville.
Imagine strolling over to your neighbors to discuss world politics with nearly all like-minded volk. Imagine the international publicity and usefulness to our cause! For starters, we could declare a Mexican illegal invaders and Israeli Mossad/IDF spies no-go zone. If leftist journalists or antis come and try to make trouble, they just might break one of our local ordinances and would have to be arrested by our town constable. See? he wrote.

I would be fun to start passing out leaflets accusing random haters there of having Jewish blood and watching them hate each other...

This moron has just bought himself a place doomed to fail. Everyone moved out of Laeth long ago. It is a ghost town.
This idiot and his equally idiotic friends are welcome to it.

It would have to be more like a commune. It would turn out to be a cult.
