Neo-Nazi Leader James Porrazzo Mixes Racism with Leftist Ideology
Intelligence Report » Winter 2012
The arrests last spring of 14 American Front (AF) members in Florida capped a year of tumultuous infighting that began with the killing of the organization’s national leader, David Lynch. Now, an earlier AF national leader has returned and is working to lead Lynch’s former followers to a bizarre new ideology that mixes ideas of the radical right with those of the extreme left.

In one case in Georgia, Temple Police Chief Tim Shaw was harassed, threatened and hit with false liens totaling more than $800,000 by a sovereign citizen angered by a traffic citation. Other sovereigns who were being prosecuted under the RICO Act filed baseless property liens and lawsuits against government officials involved in their case. In such cases, officials can become entangled in legal proceedings that can take years and thousands of dollars to sort out.

The measure comes as sovereign citizens pose an increasing threat to law enforcement. In February, the FBI announced it was dedicating more resources to the movement, which the agency has designated as “domestic terrorist.” Six law enforcement officers have been killed by sovereigns since 2000, and Oklahoma City bombing co-conspirator Terry Nichols held sovereign beliefs.


anything the police carry in the ordinary day-to-day performance of their duties seems like a good choice for self-defense as it has been professionally vetted using a performance based criteria.


that's pretty much my point, i don't think most cops want to have to carry a hand-cranked rail gun in the trunk...
