Major Defense Contractor to Investigate Violent White Supremacist on Its Staff

Source: ProPublica

Defense contractor Northrop Grumman said it will investigate an employee identified as a member of a violent white supremacist group in a recent report by ProPublica and Frontline.

The employee, Michael Miselis, a 29-year-old aerospace engineer, works at the company’s facility in Redondo Beach, California, and holds a government-issued security clearance of the sort required for personnel assigned to classified military projects. Outside of his professional life, Miselis belongs to the Rise Above Movement, a racist Southern California group whose members have physically attacked their political foes in at least four different cities.

This "doxxing/outing" of these creeps needs to continue. ProPublica has done an incredible job of research hate and other interpersonal crimes in the US.

This behavior is not accepted. Except perhaps by some agencies that are involved in black-ops/mayhem/torture. Not by an aerospace contractor and should not be by a university program.

Racists, libertarians, hardcore right wingers -- none of them believe in the United States. We shouldn't ever hire these people. Dangerous.

The last two traitors -- the NSA software theft and the CIA doc theft -- were both open libertarians. Which translates these days as 'Anything For Cash'.

7. It's not like a defense contractor to hire hate-driven people, is it?

He Is a Member of a Violent White Supremacist Group. So Why Is He Working for a Defense Contractor With a Security Clearance?

Michael Miselis took part in the violent Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. So far, it hasn’t damaged his standing at Northrop Grumman.
