That plus, like so very many others, this group is clearly paralyzed with fear of the Left — good reasons notwithstanding — and is using concerns with “white nationalists” as a cover (and are fooling no one ... not even themselves).

PING! This is a super well-written and powerful statement by the head of Oath Keepers to explain why they will not participate in the Portland event.

Reading between the lines, you can see how the Deep State and corrupt news media wants to turn Portland into another Charlottesville spectacle.

Kudos to Oath Keepers for recognizing this trap for what it is! Well done!

“Oath Keepers has a zero tolerance policy for white nationalism”

That’s weird. I’d agree if he wrote “white supremacy”, but “nationalism? I’m a nationalist and I’m white. There are black nationalists. Does the writer even know what that means?

So this screed is Oath Keepers saying they’re not going to do anything? AFAIK, they’ve never done anything except say, “Yeah; we’ll be there for you”. Only difference is that in the past they simply laid low and didn’t advertise their inaction.

If you say so. It don’t bother me what they do. I happen to be born White, that is the way I am. If he don’t like that , hell with him. I don’t ask any favors of him. Nor will I accept any. If he will post where he goes I will make damn sure to give him a wide berth. I read the article. As far as the article went, all he had to say is that they would not be attending. He did not have to get his licks and digs in.

If you’re in the Klan and have all of your teeth, you’re probably suspect.

Joey gets around, doesn’t he? He was in town a couple of weeks ago, and said he’d come back from the protests in Hong Kong.

A majority. It is sort of a DOJ old age pension plan. An Alabama Klan local decided it would have an old fashioned cross burning on the back pasture of one of the ‘knights’ farm. The problem was there were not enough members who were fit enough to set it up. The farmer asked his grandson if he and his pals wanted to make a quick $50. Kid said sure and a couple car loads of guys showed up. Several were ,un , er, ‘colored’. They didn't care, the young guys thought it was a hoot, like actually seeing what is flashed on TV from fifty years ago. Anyway, after the ceremony, there were cold beers for all. The Klansmen thought the young guys wee pretty good fellows. Things have changed so much in the South that I would never have thought it would be like this. The left however, continues to trot out their racial straw men to keep hatred stirred up and to misdirect people(look a squirrel!) to keep the light from being directed at their vile schemes.

Anyone who believes WN is a danger and speaks about that is an idiot who swallows the RATmedia lies and cannot be trusted.

Cowards or stupid, take your pick.

Cowards to the max.

Ceding the streets to the rabble didn’t work so well in Germany.

EVERYTHING the Goebbelsmedia says is LIE and Oath Keepers is buying it.

What “Oath” are they keeping, the oath to allow the Left to run rampant terrorizing, attacking and destroying.

We don’t need them.

F#CK OFF, CHICKEN SH!TS!

All it takes is one FBI agent with a Nazi flag that still has the creases from the packaging.

In the sixties, the largest single source of funds for the Communist Party USA was the dues paid by FBI informants. Probably hasn’t changed much with the KKK these days.

sad this guy lost his mind to the media believing the Proud boys are white nationalist.

A mind is a terrible thing to waist.

So these oath-keepers have swallowed the MSM white nationalist talking point hook-line-sinker? They could have just said it was mistakenly stated that their group would be attending, and leave it at that, but they had to input all this stuff about being afraid of ‘white nationalists’ in there.

The oath keepers don’t actually keep their oath.

As I understand it, when confronted with an unconstitutional act they will abstain. But isn’t the oath to protect against enemies foreign and domestic?

In that case they should actually fight not stand down.

E.g., if you refuse a red flag warrant, the oath keeper will quietly stand by as their work buddies kill you.

Not much help there for the weak who are not trained to fight.

Got to protect that pension. Yawn.

The oath keepers will “be there” for you ......... helping to break down your door, shoot your dog and shove you in a van with a “tsk tsk”.

Watch what people DO and not what they SAY.

“White Nationalist” is something the left and their propaganda consultants in the media made up.
