ABSTRACT

The Folk, namely the members of the race, are the Nation. Racial loyalties must always supersede geographical and national boundaries. Domestic-related fringe and hate groups pose a threat not only to law enforcement and governmental authorities but also to citizens in general. Domestic terrorism and hate crimes can take on many forms. From the actions of the Ku Klux Klan in the post–Civil War period to the actions of the Unabomber as he waged a decade-long terror campaign or the 2002 Beltway Sniper killings carried out by Lee Malvo and John Muhammed, the nation and our communities have proven to be vulnerable. The anarchist movement was very active in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Anarchists were involved in bombings and assassinations. The anarchists of this period often were lone wolves, but they sometimes worked in groups. The Weather Underground Organization (WUO) was active from 1969 to 1981.
