       Ode to Klans

They shed black robes at dusk
And donned white robes instead
With pointed hoods as well they did
Make sure the blacks were dead.

>Report Says Violent Extremist Groups on Rise
>
>MONTGOMERY, Ala. (Reuter) - Violent extremist groups have grown in number 
>and vehemence since the Oklahoma City bombing two years ago, an 
>organization that monitors hate crime activity in the United States warned.
>
>The Klanwatch Project of the Southern Poverty Law Center said at least 858 
>so-called Patriot groups were active in the 50 U.S. states last year, 
>including 380 armed militias. The figures represented a six percent rise in 
>the number of groups identified by Klanwatch in 1994 and 1995.
>
>The Montgomery-based organization, which distributes statistics on 
>hate-crime activity to U.S. law enforcement, said 101 militias and their 
>support groups had ties to white supremacist and anti-Semitic 
>organizations.
>
>In a report entitled "Two Years After: The Patriot Movement Since Oklahoma 
>City," Klanwatch warned that extremists have begun to develop a nationwide 
>intelligence network and have increased their use of phony financial claims 
>against public officials in a practice known as "paper terrorism."
>
>A coalition of militias spanning 14 states distributed 
>intelligence-gathering guidelines to members in February, the report said. 
>Recommended activities ranged from scrutinizing news reports to persuading 
>utility workers to divulge information on their employers' security 
>procedures.
>
>Meanwhile false liens and fabricated financial statements have been filed 
>against selected victims in the public sector by renegade judicial bodies 
>known as "common-law courts." In 1996 about 112 such self-proclaimed courts 
>were operating in 34 states.
>
>"The Patriot movement is firmly entrenched in this country," Klanwatch 
>director Joe Roy said.
>
>"A winnowing process has taken place since Oklahoma City. While casual 
>adherents have abandoned the cause, new groups have been formed to take 
>their place. What remains are true believers who are isolated from the 
>political mainstream and committed to an extreme anti-government agenda."
>
>Federal investigators suspect a cell of rightwing extremists was behind 
>recent bombings of an abortion clinic and a gay and lesbian nightclub in 
>Atlanta. The incidents injured about a dozen people.
>
>There have been no arrests in either bombing. Last July's Centennial 
>Olympic Park bombing, which left two dead and more than 100 injured in 
>downtown Atlanta during the Summer Games, also remained unsolved.
>
>The Klanwatch report warned of more violence in the future, including the 
>possibility of biochemical attacks, and pointed to a declining percentage 
>of American voters as evidence that Patriot groups would continue to have 
>large pools of alienated citizens from which to recruit new members.
