An Election Doesn’t Even Slow Them Up

For over a year, the FBI says, a man named Scott Crawford worked on building an X-ray device which he described as “Hiroshima on a light switch.” He wanted to use this nuclear weapon on Muslims and sought out support from groups he thought would be sympathetic to that sort of mass murder. One of them alerted the federal authorities instead.

This scheme is a product of OIP Derangement Syndrome. Crawford reportedly identified himself as a former member of the “United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.” The Albany Times-Union said he’s active in Americans Demanding Liberty and Freedom, a “Tea Party” group. The New York Times reported that the FBI’s complaint quoted Crawford as saying, “You know what? After this last election, the electoral process is dead.” Because, obviously, most American voters didn’t see things his way.

Talking Points Memo reported that on the day of the Boston Marathon bombing, before any suspects or motivation had been identified, Crawford sent a series of messages that added up to:

Well, tell it to your treasonous bedwetting maggot in chief. He started bringing the scumbags have wholesale as he got in charge. He directed the ins to start bringing muzzies here without background checks. Your background was scrutinized more to join the army than any muslim scum gets to come here. They don’t have to follow any laws, and this administration has done more to enable a government sponsored invasion than the press can cover up. Be pissed, but get the word out that obamas policies caused this.

By that time, undercover officers were already inside Crawford’s bigoted little conspiracy, which was aimed at killing many more people.
