SP5 Renee Reif ...well this is one Vietnam Vet that isn't a part of the "movement" of White Power... can't say that about many on RP however.
..."BELEW: A better teaching of history isn’t for the people who are marching on the capitol. It is for people coming next. What we need is that
alongside a broad array of public policy solutions that tackle this problem at many different levels. This is urgent all across our society.
So, for instance, we have problems with infiltration at the Department of Defense. We have problems of infiltration probably in police departments,
but we don’t know because there is no central recordkeeping. We have problems of local radicalization. We have problems of insufficient trauma
resources and insufficient mental health resources for communities impacted. And we have problems with massive availability of weapons and
other kinds of material that end up in the hands of these groups.
And here I’m talking not only about the sort of basic issues that we as a society share with available firearms to anyone but also the fact that
these groups have routinely gotten their hands on stolen military weapons and material from posts and bases, and that that problem has been with us
since the 1980s and here we still are with this in 2021.
So as an historian, I’m interested in both the solutions we need right now for the crisis and I’m interested in longer-term conversations about our
shared history and legacies that can position us for more equitable exercises of democratic franchise going forward as well."

Patriot Front is a white nationalist hate group that broke off from Vanguard America in the aftermath of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, of August 12, 2017.
SPLC DESIGNATED HATE GROUP
Date Founded 2017
Location Texas
Ideology White Nationalist
SOURCE : https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/patriot-front
Key Points
* Patriot Front is a white supremacist group whose members maintain that their ancestors conquered America and bequeathed it to them, and no one else.
* Patriot Front justifies its ideology of hate and intolerance under the guise of preserving the ethnic and cultural origins of its members’ European ancestors.
* Patriot Front spreads its hateful propaganda via the internet and by distributing banners, fliers, posters, and stickers.
* In 2020, Patriot Front transitioned from using explicit antisemitic and white supremacist language in its propaganda to more cover bigoted language, promoting a form of "patriotism" that emboldens white supremacy, xenophobia, antisemitism, and fascism.
* Patriot Front is responsible for the vast majority of white supremacist propaganda distributed in the United States, representing 80 percent of all propaganda incidents nationally in 2020.
* One of the United States’ most visible white supremacist groups, Patriot Front participates in localized “flash demonstrations” across the nation.
1.) 'They came to riot downtown' | Police arrest 31 people with ties to hate group, found inside U-haul

“Police were alerted to the group when a concerned person called police around 1:38 p.m. That person reported seeing the group loading into a U-haul that was parked at the Springhill Suites. The group had masks and shields and police said the caller told them it "looked like a little army."
“Police and deputies surrounded the truck and when they opened it up they found dozens of men in the back, all wearing the same clothes, including khakis, with navy blue shirts, beige hats, and a white cloth covering their faces.
Based on evidence collected at the scene and documents police found in the U-haul, Chief White said that they believe the group was planning to riot in several areas of downtown Coeur d'Alene, not just the park.
"It appears they did not come here to engage in peaceful events," Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris told our partner the Coeur d'Alene Press.
Chief White said all 31 people were arrested on charges of conspiracy to riot. Those arrested came from at least 11 states, including Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, Wyoming, Virginia, and Arkansas.”

31 Patriot Front members arrested near Idaho pride event
The men were standing inside the truck wearing khakis, navy blue shirts and beige hats with white balaclavas covering their faces.
“All 31 were charged with conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor, White said. The men were going through the booking process Saturday afternoon and are scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, he said.
Based on evidence collected and documents, authorities found that the group was planning to riot in several areas of downtown, not just the park, White said.
Police found riot gear, one smoke grenade, shin guards and shields inside the van, White said. They wore arm patches and logos on their hats that identified them as members of Patriot Front, he said.”
