Comparisons of extremist organizations have shown similarities in strategies. White supremacists, jihadis, and other extremists publish tactics to conduct terrorist attacks for their members.
“After 9/11, when there was a focus on al Qaeda, everyone was pretending these things were brand new, but if you knew the tactics you could predict exactly each step they were going to make. And again, all this is published. If you look at the al Qaeda manual it’s really not that different from the Irish Republican Army green book or a lot of the white supremacist documents. There’s even a Brazilian Communist, Carlos Marighella, who was one of the first to put all of this on paper in the Minimanual of the Urban Guerilla” Brennan Center for Justice
Further, one can compare beliefs. There are similarities in the ideologies of White Supremacists and Jihadis that help attract and retain members. These are
- A chauvinist collective identity
- Conspiracy theories ( ie “The Great Replacement” and “War on Islam”)
- Antisemitism
- Legitimacy of Violence (Race War and Global Jihad)
- Search for Utopianism (Pure Ethno-State or Return to the “Golden Age”)
- Hatred of liberalism and the US/Western Governments
The question becomes; Do these groups work, make contact or share information with each other? We know certain groups do, but White Supremacists and Islamic Terrorists?
We could also ask why would it matter if they do? They think they are talking to “god.” If God Corporation (LLC) are the ones they are really talking to they wouldn’t know the difference; White Supremacist gods who speak Arabic. For the last three days we highlighted Hate in the Pacific Northwest.

After 9/11 the Patriot Act emerged but a full martial law shut down and rounding up of undesirables did not. This greatly angered Fromm. He had returned from Saudi Arabia in 1990 or 91 after 13 years. He had developed an understanding of the Koran and ability to speak Arabic. Worried the Patriot Act wouldn’t be supported he developed a plan to give the process a “kick.”
He and his MF played Allah to two men who were led to meet at the nearby Bellingham, WA YMCA. They had been collected and identified and by an South African sorcerer in the region.
The two were guided to purchase a car and modify it to conceal a sniper. Then they traveled across the country to Washington DC and shot at motorists on the freeway. They became known as the DC Beltway Snipers. These activities helped buoy support for the Patriot Act. Here are their charts.
On the left is the chart of the Reverand James Arthur Calata. Calata was a South African Anglican and a founding member of the African National Congress. He joined the ANC in 1930. He and his wife were both arrested on different occasions. He attempted to bring a moderate approach to the fight for equality. In the latter years of his life he used his home as a refuge for the ANC and poverty stricken youth.
On the right is the chart of Lee Boyd Malvo. Malvo met John Allen Muhammed (Case Study 29) and Allah at the Bellingham, WA YMCA. Malvo was 17 years old at the time. Together they modified a vehicle to conceal a shooter and became the DC Highway shooters. Muhammed was sentenced to death and Malvo was sentenced to multiple life sentences. Malvo claims he was sexually abused by Muhammed.
On the left is the Death Chart of Barthelemy Boganda (4 April 1910 – 29 March 1959). Boganda was adopted by Catholic Priests in the French Equitorial Africa. He was ordained as a priest in 1938. He got involved in politics and created Movement for the Social Evolution of Black Africa (MESAN). He was defrocked because he married. Boganda’s work and diplomacy with the French government (including Charles De Gualle) led him to become the first Prime Minister of the Central African Republic. While traveling in 1959 a bomb exploded in his plane. No official blame has been established.
On the right is the birth chart of John Allen Muhammed (December 31, 1960 – November 10, 2009). Muhammed was half of the Highway Shooters along with Lee Boyd Malvo (see Case Study 28). Muhammed served in the Army beginning in 1978. He was stationed in Fort Lewis and Fort Ord. He was honorably discharged in 1994. Muhammed met Malvo and Allah at the Bellingham, WA YMCA. The two modified a car and went on a shooting spree known as the D.C. Sniper Attacks. Muhammed was sentenced to death and was executed by lethal injection in 2009.
