The US Terrorism Plot That the Media Ignores

>>> In May 2003, white supremacists in Texas were caught with a sodium cyanide bomb, other bombs, illegal weapons, hate literature, fake I.D., and chemicals, including hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. In mid-November, three people pleaded guilty to related charges, while seized documents indicate that there are other co-conspirators at large. The feds have served "hundreds of subpoenas across the country," and the plot has been included in the President's daily intelligence briefings.

But most of us have never heard about it. The only media that saw fit to report about this terrorist plot within the US were a few newspapers and TV stations in Texas. The Web-based news outlet WorldNetDaily ran a story about it, but Google News shows that there hasn't been a word in the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, or any other big media outlet. Why have the media decided that this is a non-story? It's hard to say, but we can say with certainty that if Muslims had been caught with these weapons of mass destruction, fake I.D., gas masks, and books on making explosives, it would've been front-page news for days.

Below, we've collected every article about this ignored plot that we could find. All images come from CBS 11 in Dallas/Fort Worth.

Update: Seven months after the arrests and one month after the guilty pleas, the New York Times finally saw fit to mention this domestic terrorism case—in an opinion piece that spends three paragraphs on the incident . Fortunately, the writer's central point is a good one:

Americans should question whether the Justice Department is making America's far-right fanatics a serious priority.... It is also worrisome that the discovery of lethal chemicals in President Bush's home state was not deemed occasion for a high-profile announcement by Attorney General John Ashcroft or other officials trumpeting the arrests of Mr. Krar and his compatriots. This stands in stark contrast to the department's news media onslaughts whenever alleged operatives for Al Qaeda have been apprehended in the United States.

1. There is racism behind a lot of this, pure and simple.

If it's white people then it's going to be kept quiet. If it's brown people it's going to be smeared all over the news, with rampant speculation and fear-mongering.

2. These jack-off white supremacists are dangerous, yet stupid

Of course, anyone who subscibes to racial supremacy is stupid, but some are really stupid. I just finished Carl Hiaasen's book "Lucky You" and there is a white supremacist group called the "White Clarion Aryans". It's quite funny, they are so dumb.

4. What about the Alabama guys who wanted to shoot Mexicans?

If I'm not mistaken, these guys had machine guns and other weapons, which they intended to use to kill as many Mexicans as possible. It made news for about one day, and that was it.
